Why do we care about reviews from the Defense Planning Guidance committee?

As I recall from modern history classes at university, and some reading on my own time, there was Thatcher in UK and Reagan in the USA trying to reduce the influence of the "fossil fuel giants" by increasing the use of nuclear power as an alternative.
Not sure where you get your information, but no, Reagan did absolutely nothing to increase the use of nuclear power. The opposite, in fact. No new construction permits for nuclear power plants were approved in the twelve years of the Reagan and Bush administrations.
He may have talked positive about nuclear power, but what he actually did was: nothing.
volunteer(verb) freely offer to do something.
Volunteer in this case most likely means, "During your regular hours, volunteer to work in the warehouse instead of at your desk."
I don't follow the philosophy of "when there are several possible interpretations, go for the interpretation that makes them look good."
But we already knew that.
You're just a mass of contradictions.
No. I am saying that the administration believes Harvard's percentage is too high.
For everything else Trump is saying "we need foreigners to buy more of our stuff with hard currency!" For Harvard, he is saying "foreigners are buying too much from you with hard currency!"
And he is not saying the same for Princeton, the University of California system, MIT, Cal Tech, or any other university. Harvard is a special case
Yes: according to you, the one that's most successful.
I am saying that MAGA folks are generally not anti science. That there are fringes on the right and left that are, but these fringes do not represent MAGA
About all I can say is to repeat that just because you're unable to see it doesn't mean that they're not anti-science.

That's bold, considering the last flu vaccine round had a NEGATIVE 26.9% efficacy. #followthescience Yes, you read it right, if you were vaccinated you had a 27% HIGHER chance of getting the flu. https://www.medrxiv.org/conten...
A fascinating study indeed, but unfortunately the results were inconclusive, since the control group (unvaccinated) was not identical to the experiment group (vaccinated).
A study needs to randomly select who is in the control group and who is in the experiment group. This needs to be drilled into anybody putting together a study. You can't have people self-select whether they are experiment or control.
Correlation can mean that health issues cause diet, or diet causes health issues.
Or both have a common cause.
Even after decades of pretending to be a nerd, you're still dumb enough to think that studies published in top-tier journals like Nature might not have accounted for even the most obvious confounding variables.
And in fact the article pointed out this out:
"It’s also important to note that the studies included in the analysis were observational, meaning that the data can only show an association between eating habits and disease –– not prove that what people ate caused the disease. They also relied on people recalling their dietary patterns, which can leave room for misremembering or misreporting, said Dr. Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition and food science at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. He was not involved in the study. "

What control group was used in this study?
There's some usable truth in this article.
Some. But the summary ignores this sentence from the actual paper's abstract (which is a meta study, not new data):
"These associations each received two-star ratings reflecting weak relationships or inconsistent input evidence, highlighting both the need for further research and—given the high burden of these chronic diseases—the merit of continuing to recommend limiting consumption of these foods."
To its credit, the actual paper also makes a point that this is a correlation, not showing causation.
Yes, the immigration system needs reform in the US. There had been unified parties in Washington for both Democrats and Republicans to fix it and they haven't.
There was a bipartisan immigration reform bill hammered out between Republican and Democratic Senators in 2024 and brought to the Senate for approval, the "Border Act of 2024."
After it was brought to the floor, it was opposed by Donald Trump (who at the time held no political office), because he didn't want immigration reform because he wanted to make it an issue in his campaign.
