Why the Navy Conducted Radiation Experiments on Humans
The Navy conducted radiation experiments on humans at San Francisco's Hunters Point Shipyard.
That turned hundreds of servicemen and shipyard workers into unwitting āvolunteersā for Cold War scientistsā biology and safety research. https://www.sfpublicpress.org/exposed-podcast-episode-2-why-the-navy-conducted-radiation-experiments-on-humans/

@stux The thing I always find very strange is when people say there should be lower taxes...
Where are you going to get the money from to pay for what I'd say is "basic infrastructure" - roads being one. People moan about how bad roads can be, but then bemoan paying to fund them.
Magic fairies don't go round repairing the roads and resurfacing them for no cost! :blobcat_giggle:
I've been sharing this picture recently, because it pretty much sums up my thoughts about taxation:

At a startup long ago I heard for the first time the names of assorted tech bro entrepreneur types (our startup was a great place with great people, but these were the gods of the startup world, success stories to emulate). I didn't know who they were, but thought they all sounded vaguely like assholes & their āgenius insightsā seemed lame AF.
Now I'm hearing all the same names I heard back then again, as they all orbit around Elon Musk like flies on shit. And now I'm sure they're assholes.

Imagine if a Republican won an upset mayoral election in San Francisco or Boston or Seattle. That’d be a massive story, with political reporters teasing out all kinds of trends from it.
Well, a Democrat just won an upset in Jacksonville, which is bigger than all those cities.
