  • While your sentiment is a good one, from experience of living around such historical sites, most I have seen are operated by people like United Daughters of the Confederacy. The street really goes both ways with historical sites and while they can be used as grand gestures to show a horrible past in physical form to some who may see it, it can also be used as a propaganda tool of “lost glory” as the dsughters put it.

    There is a town not too far from where I live that has a long history that has tons of white washed messages by the Daughters. Its frankly gross, but many people in that town don’t bat an eye because those same historical buildings are used to re-enforce their view of the world not change their perspective.




  • Just because tariffs are payed by the people of the importing country doesn’t mean they are not harmful to the exporter as well. I mean what do you think the natural consequence of tariffs are? As price goes up for the consumer they are going to reduce their buying of the product to the minimum amount they can get by with, which means less imports into the country imposing tariffs, which means less exports from the country who had tariffs imposed upon them. You forget that tariffs are bad for everyone involved. So no, it is not logical for China to back the Cheeto.



  • I’ve been trying to answer you question for like an hour using my limited understanding of cancer, viruses, and long term, low dose, chemical exposure. Honestly I’m not a biologist or anything so I really don’t have an answer either the most I can say on the matter is that these problems are really not compatible. The way you “target” a cancer cell, or “target” a virus, or target chemicals are whole different and don’t really share anything in common. I can also say that BPA is more a problem of long term, low dose exposure that we don’t really expect to see a realistic end to anytime soon. You can target it in the body, but we are going to keep being exposed to it for years to come, even if there is a ban on it. The oceans are full of it, the waterways are full of it. Much of the world is already contaminated with it.
