    Overheard: The one thing we've learned from this crisis is that if the Martians invaded earth, our first response would be to lower interest rates.

    Replying to @gmiller
    The EU has roughly 10 times Russia's GDP. It can easily afford to outspend Russia. It also has the moral high ground. The lesson of history is that invaders should not be rewarded. It's time for Europe to step up.

    It's remarkable that as recently as 11 years ago, the sum of all human knowledge could be provided in just two books.

    Do the people who pushed to shut down nuclear plants realize how deadly the alternatives are? "air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide"

    Wow! This is just from one lab. The ROI on government grants is astronomical, especially when you consider that most of the value to society from basic science goes way beyond stock market valuations. Defunding one America's greatest successes is insanely bad policy.
