"She's the only one on Earth, besides him, who can decide if it was a disservice. You're not in the position to make that call"
You don't or can't know that. She's elderly too which means the likelihood of her suffering her own health catastrophe grows ever more likely & if that happens the family now has TWO sets of problems, one of which they could have been preparing for years.
I've seen both scenarios, the good thing is that the family with an otherwise healthy grandmother who began to slide into dementia, didn't keep it a secret.
The close family & friends were all made aware - so that one lovely summer day when she wandered off unobserved & we were frantically running up and down every street, one of our buddies had already found her TWO MILES away.
Since he knew her condition, he didn't just smile & wave as he would have done if we'd kept the secret - he grabbed her, put her on the back of his motorbike, stuck his helmet on her head and brought her back, giggling & smiling like she was the teen she no doubt imagined herself to be.
"We'll just shift to other continents"
That's a well-established European tradition but they don't want you now any more than they wanted you then
"The final nails in the coffin was Climate Gate, the mere idea that so called scientists were caught making shit up to get funding"
what shit did they make up?
"it's just taking $5 billion of taxpayer money and creating a new government organization responsible for doling out that money to private companies, many of whom are already very wealthy and fairly entrenched in research"
That's the American Way (tm)

"For comparison, we sent 75 billion to Ukraine"
It wasn't big pallets of cash like what had been sent to bribe warlords in Iraq or Afghanistan; it was stockpiles of armaments that mostly had been sitting around for years & can be replaced, preferably with newer stuff, or not replaced at all.
Simply sell 99.9999% of the concern. Your
Would that work? I would think some financial wizard at one of the affected businesses would have thought of that already
Pudge boy with the girlie hair is going to be very popular. I do not support prison rape as a form of extrajudicial punishment but the fact remains that's where this dumbass is headed.
His lawyer better argue for isolation ward or protected area, not gen pop.
He was targeting blacks, Muslims & cops; he'll have both lots of enemies & lots of friends in prison
He'd be worth at least as much
CA is the EV champion of the USA and most are Teslas for which sub-6 second 0-60 mph is typical
"Cervical cancer rates in Scotland have plummeted thanks to the HPV vaccine [publicheal...tland.scot] given to girls 15 years ago [oup.com]."
Of course it did. The vaccine made the girls gay so their inner lady spaces were no longer being polluted by unwashed & uncut willies that may have come into contact with sheep & haggis
"Failed culture, and we ought to isolate them unless and until they manage to develop into one you can get along with"
I'm mostly in agreement but they're aligning with China & thanks to our rampant stupidity helping them become an economic powerhouse, keeping Russia isolated won't be easy. Not to mention if India joins that potential coalition
By telling China we're going to renew the lease & you're going to like it
he sold it to us as a way to export our Democracy to them. Instead they're exporting their brand of authoritarian fascism to us.
It was always about cheap labor anyway.
Not only were we stupid enough to believe Nixon but we also allowed China to dictate Taiwan's status - the ONLY Asian country that has Westernized without being invaded. A leader with real cojones would have told Beijing to go fuck itself & offered Taiwan official protectorate status.
And if China made a fuss then America should have offered to purchase Hong Kong from the UK.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
