The problem is (at least in the USA) that lawmakers are never personally held responsible for the crappy laws they pass. It's a major contributor to how screwed up this country has become because they can force their personal ideology on everyone, no matter how misguided. This is something I strongly believe needs to be rectified to make real progress, but I'm not sure how that should happen.

Nobody who actually understands sleep believes it gives energy all by itself. It gives your brain time to do some "house cleaning," clearing out the cobwebs as it were. Yes, you wake up feeling a bit more refreshed, but that will diminish in short order without breakfast to give your body the fuel it needs to create that energy you're taking about.

The device is a long way from restoring normal vision. The images it produces are black and white and the field of vision is extremely narrow. Hodak described the experience to the Financial Times as “kind of like looking through a straw in the center of their vision,” though he added that they see a pathway to color vision and higher acuity.

Unless they can backport the future improvements somehow, I'd wait as long as possible before jumping on it with those limitations.

Finally. Gun violence I can support!

Depends upon who's committing them.

Why not both? Another typically short-sighted political pawn move.

Being harassed is still better than being forced to kill or be killed.

True, but at least he'd definitely fall into the "doing good' category.

Hell, I'd tell my kids to fake being trans to avoid fighting Trump's bullshit distraction-from-the-Epstein-files wars.

IMHO, many coppers should be charged with such.

I'd like to invite that man to tour the various USA federal government offices while our "leaders" are present.
