Oh wait, you mean the dictator couldn't do it because it requires congress critters to pass a law? That rather belies the term 'dictator,' correct? Just as well, standard time forever.

Well, since you're most likely a CCP agent, you know this.

That's what I wondered...I went to a state university back in the dark ages that had the CS department grow out of math - we did a lot of programming but a lot of computer science theory. Did a lot of deep dives into theory - actually more than in my MS.

This! I'm approaching retirement and this has been the norm throughout my entire career. Why would anyone, anymore, think of anything else? Silly. "Don't think just shove it at AI and if they completely screw it, then have it redo it." Sheesh.

Agreed. Heck I feel that way about most 'internet enabled' things.

No, we can't stop eating meat, we might end up like you.

Entirely likely that handwashing is making a difference. Additionally, there are government and non government programs working to reduce c.diff infections in hospitals - here's some data https://odphp.health.gov/healt... . Having a relatively who got C.Diff in a hospital setting, the other thing is recognition that treatments with things like Saccharomyces boulardii (look here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/b...) and antiparasitics rather than antibiotics (look here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...) as well some macrolide antibiotics such as fidaxomicin that do a much better job of treating it without a relapse. The things we found that were best for banishing it for good was this: Fidaxomicin, regular supplementation with Saccharomyces boulardii (available as an OTC probiotic called Florastor in the US and other countries), and regular consumption of fiber in the form of beans and food probiotics in terms of sauerkraut with live cultures. The final three things are good for your health in any case.

This list is one of bacteria and fungi, not virii.

What do you think repatriation of manufacturing is for? I'd LOVE to be able to buy high quality Amercan made products. Imagine, having a 1960s house with high quality items in them rather than the utter piles of trash we have now.

China is so much stronger their export based economy is totally under threat because they can't sell useless crap to the USA.

Yes, but the TDS crowd can't imagine not blaming trump for everything - rather as bad as this piece of insanity: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/c...

Yet the Iranians continuously refused to allow inspections of military sites, so the treaty was NOT working at all. My goodness can you be sillier?

How would you know? You don't live in the US.

State takeover or massive consolidation perhaps.

You're wrong again, oh ccp agent.
