But I see a flaw in that work. From the article:

However, this study by Clowe et al. made no attempt to analyze the Bullet Cluster using MOND or any other modified gravity theory.

Proof by contradiction would have been much more powerful evidence that dark matter exists. Apply MOND or other theories and show that the results would not fit the measurements. But no. Some people just don't want to test their beliefs.

Clubs make a lot of money charging per head to let people in.

I'll pay to get in for live music. If it's good. But not that canned garbage.

If you took away the music completely, they wouldn't have a business.

I got to bars to talk to people. Turn the damned music down. Or off altogether. I can't hear conversations over that garbage.

Many of the local coffee shops play streaming garbage. When I go in to read my paper with a cup of coffee, I put on noise canceling headphones and tune my radio to the local classical station. Many other people are wearing Airpods and, I'd guess, not listening to the background Spotify feed. May as well turn it off.

Doctors are literally trained in patient safety ethics trauma informed care psychiatric emergencies and actual medical interventions

Not all doctors. I don't know if I'd trust my orthopedic surgeon to talk me down from a bad trip. Set a bone? Fine.

The problem is: Due to the legal status of psychedelics, there are really no courses of study for MDs or psychologists to go into this specialty. So the quality of care is all over the place.

Average age of a car in the US is 12 years.

But this isn't about the US. It's about New Dehli. A rather upscale district in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Poor people aren't supposed to be driving there. Just the upper echelons of the national government (mainly driving new Mercedes and Land Rovers). Everyone else: Take the bus. This is just another approach to what New York City is doing with congestion fees. Poor people, go away.

It's also interesting to note that India is doing nothing about the primary cause if air pollution in Delhi: farmers surrounding the area burning stubble in the field.
