This shows that for every $1 spent on buying GM seed, they gain an extra $4.90 in return. Farmers in developing countries gain more than those in developed countries, $5.08 vs $4.76. Excellent evidence that GM crops benefit small landholders in developing countries. #ISAAA

Nearly 700 rural hospitals are already at risk of closing, even before Medicaid cuts take effect. When a rural hospital closes, the impact reaches everyone in the community, regardless of insurance. Residents may have to travel 20+ miles farther for care. ms.now/opinion/trump-…

@worstall People doing their own thing per the anti vaxx movemment has brought back measles to the US. There is a reason why humans organized in societies and tried to set up systems that serve the common good, with rules if required. We know what works, check out human history.

@ProfBernardPaz @worstall The US has by far the most data centers in the world and no one is building at the rate the US is today so where will be the capacity for this? Defense from enemies is not going to matter if we dont have freshwater and no jobs to survive

Heidi Overton, Trump's pick to lead the #FDA, has proposed creating “alternative systems” of publishing science by building their own right-wing journals to steer funding towards. “We need publications and academic journals that are conservative-based,” she said. #HeidiOverton

@cremieuxrecueil its also draining the fresh water supply for the future so no, still not a good idea. Tax base grows but we have to pay astronomical water and utility bills, still does not help the neighboring residents

@JeromeAdamsMD It is not increased enforcement, quite the opposite, it's deregulation and lack of oversight which means that where possible cases would have been caught sooner, they now come into the food system.
