I'm not a believer in "alternative" medicine, including your witch doctors. I just want to be able to buy conventional medical services on an open market, in the same way that I shop for electronics. If I'm prescribed a medication, I want to be able to shop the world market for the best deal, just as the Canadian government does. If the Silicon Valley disruptors were to offer me a medical market, this is the market that would be most important to me. I don't care that much about the rare occasions when I need a cab ride.

Giving half your test population of cancer patients a placebo may be merely unethical, but giving half your population of Ebola patiets a placebo could take out an entire country.
Socialists at least used to be noted for building large-s ale infrastructure, like Hoover Dam. Today all they can do is ladle out welfare benefits and fight meaningless academic battles involving identity groups.
US extradition treaties only cover actions that are crimes in both countries, which means that the only crimes you could be extradited to Saudi and beheaded for are drug offenses.
What I'm longing to see is the epic matter-antimafter collision that is about to occur between the Warmists and the No Nukers. This is why I'm secretly hoping for the worst-case greenhouse gas scenario to be validated.
