One fucking month ago we, for the first time in human history, cured a genetic disease in a human at the DNA level, using gene editing techniques that fixed a 10-month-old’s liver specifically without altering the rest of his body’s DNA (thus preserving genetic diversity). Are we really going to start fucking genociding people while we stand at the very goddamn cusp of cleanly subduing genetic disorders?? And we’re going to fucking revive measles and polio while we’re at it?
IIRC, the Trump Regime defunded that research. The ghouls don’t understand that looking after everyday people is the key to figuring out cures for rich fuckers.
Seriously, the wealthy don’t understand that they achieved their great height from standing on the backs of ordinary folks. They will take quite a tumble when society falls apart, due to their stupidity and greed.

Oh no, they absolutely understand that, and if they have to they would stand on a pile of corpses rather than let their steppy stools get out from under them
That’s probably a factor in their moves to bring back child labor, if your serfs keep dropping dead from easily fixed diseases you just need more workers for the mine and problem sorted. It’s both exciting to see the success we’ve had in science and terrifying to think of the future since they’re just straight up running the Nazi playbook again, last time they didn’t have access to CRISPR so things might get a lot worse in the eugenics chapter.
Frustrations aside, I hadn’t heard of that but damn that’s quite an awesome thing. Weird how you can have hope and despair for the future simultaneously.

Looks like nobody gives a shit.

You dont need access to CRISPR if they just make being brown a crime again like it was in the 1900s
Yep. Thats the US right now.
*checks notes* yes
