A man in his early 20s has received the world's first sperm-making stem cell transplant in a new procedure that could be groundbreaking for infertility treatment. Until now, the procedure had only been tested in animals. But it successfully allowed male mice and monkeys to father offspring. The patient was diagnosed with azoospermia, a condition that causes no sperm to be present in his ejaculate and makes it impossible to naturally conceive a child, after receiving chemotherapy as a child to treat bone cancer read more

$51 million! Wow! That's like a third of the money Trump has spent on his golf outings in the last three months! Yeehaa!
I like watching poor people suffer too, BoAZ.
As the wealthiest and most militarily powerful nation in the world, we should never do anything to help the less fortunate. Far better for us to spend trillions blowing people up than a thousandth of that on our soft power.

My feeling is that Trump wants to tank the stock market to personally profit from shorting it. And to lump in the bogus tariff revenue along with the fake savings from illegally firing millions of middle-class federal workers to ram through massive tax cuts for billionaires by bypassing the senate filibuster with more parliamentary nonsense.
