It's finally here! At last we have phase-3 results for retatrutide!
So, did the drug join the scores of pharmaceuticals that fail at this last crucial step?
If you've tried retatrutide recently, you'll realize the answer is 'no': it performed amazingly🧵

17 year permitting process is ridiculous and nonviable
“The transmission line … took 17 years to permit and build. America needs to be able to build faster than that. We need to be able to get to yes, or if it’s the wrong project, in the wrong place, to no a whole lot faster.. That’s why I have been working on permitting reform.”

For reference on how bad US military industry is the most useless car company in the world is pulling off “impossible” production miracles immediately after entering the market
Pretty cool that General Motors was able to retool a car factory to make the outer shells of the Patriot missiles. They've managed to make the delivery to Lockheed just 22 days after signing the contract.
(22 days!!!!! We still got it...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸)
Lockheed says this work normally takes months or years for the previous supplier (General Dynamics) to fulfill.
There's a strain of neoliberal thinking that says if domestic carmakers can’t compete, they should just be allowed to fail. No bailouts. Just let Japan or China make cars because of comparative advantage or whatever.
Imagine if we had believed that automobile manufacturing was something to offshore.
It's now clear that the argument for preserving that industrial base is not simply nostalgia for a previous bygone era. It simply is the case that you cannot improvise precision manufacturing overnight once it has disappeared.

Americans are innovators
60 million Americans need water from the Colorado River
Cloud seeding is an American innovation that provides water to:
- help our farmers and cattlemen
- housing developments and industry
- make ecosystems, like the Great Salt Lake, beautiful

Crazy, unexpected science news today: the brain is actually 2 colocated but independent organs that develop from 2 totally separate progenitor cells in early development. Big implications for some research areas (eg ALS) & for creating ethical brainless clones for transplant.

I have half a thought about making a chernobyl simulator, where you can change operating or design decisions and see what happens
