A vial of bovine insulin in the mid 1980s (you can see newpaper ads) was under $2-3.
Various "old" human analogs are long off patent but the lowest prices are still sky high. e.g. Walmart's generic $73 vs others in the $100-$250 range.

Similarly, prescription forms of generic vitamins can have prices like $25-$50 per few milligrams vs China FOB prices of $100 per kg.
The problem is a lack of competition through various regulatory, political, buyout and payoff techniques; and lots of government extracted or printed money.

Kind of creeps me out about pre-teens...

The Sphere turns out to be a financial black hole...

I hope that Blue Origin at least completes the successful commercialization of their engine.

Although I dislike Bezos' punlic persona and admire Musk and SpaceX, I am concerned that SpaceX will become spoiled sooner by unchallenged success, a la Google.

Google Search has been in functional decline since at least 2006-2007.
At this point, I'd say Google is less useful on the average search than AltaVista ca 1998. Too much bias and too many MIA references.

Historical US CO2 emissions were valuable to plants for nutrient and thermal protection in a cold, CO2 deficient world, pre WWII.
China should stick to safe nukes, made and operated by someone else.

It sort of has that (nazi) T4 vibe.

Won't be long and the program will be so effective, a lot people won't even notice they were "assisted"...

2040?
Just buy a ticket on Musk's spaceliner.

One has to suspect poor quality due to economic reasons since they lost all that cheap Russian gas....

Isn't the #1 problem coal ?
What about turning that off first?

some of the chinese EV fires look suspiciously like that RUD.
Copied something wrong...

Toyota is great. They've been ahead in durable hybrid cost performance for years, I especially like the idea of solid state since electrolyte is the key to huge EV fires and I have an earthquake, carbon sequestered wooden house...

That's this year. In 5 - 10 years, it might even be $100 million per employee/year - where $1 million gets you a cup of latte...
Or $0 per employee, like so many ephemeral tech companies.

#1 problem is energy pricing caused by disrupted oil and gas industry and pre-mature investments in expensive, unreliable, inefficient "green energy" projects

Germany has gone from power house to s***house economy because of natural gas prices.
The US economy can be similarly destroyed.

it's a feature, not a bug...
