Joe Biden might be old, but he still has enough juice to rig the Super Bowl. He even got within half a point of nailing the over/under.
A PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the other hand, pissed away $7 million on a 30-second ad – a rerun of a 1960 JFK ad with this sex creep’s* picture substituted for his uncle’s. It earned widespread scorn and mockery, including so much pushback from the rest of the Kennedys that RFK Jr. apologized to them. So, money well spent, I guess.
The Trump EPA approved three weedkillers that it never should have, and a federal judge in Arizona last week ruled that it broke the law in doing so. Like president, like lackeys.
This is hardly news, but a new report found that prescription drugs cost three times as much in the U.S. as anywhere else. Surprisingly, generics make up the vast majority of the medications, and they’re cheaper in the U.S. than elsewhere, but the price of patent-protected pills is so high it more than makes up the difference. Another win for the not-at-all-free market.
A Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco turned weird when a crowcrowd in Chinatown set fire to a driverless Waymo taxi. Tell me again about how seamless the transition to robot everything is going to be.
The floor’s yours.
