We can reasonably debate whether the short-term gain beats out the long-term risk for any contract, but the risk is not being stuck with no money.

Here's the stat block, for anyone curious. My husband came up with the idea for the weapon for *MAJOR SPOILERS HERE*. I can't wait to get further into it in the remainder of the "Light's Rebellion" series.

It's far from amazing. It's a deal that will come back to haunt us down the line. Pragmatism doesn't work with China, and any deal with them can threaten our way of life. It's a short term gain for long term pain.

It was never about what the majority believes. Fascism takes a small but vocal minority of lunatic racists, amplifies them to gain the support of establishment conservatives, and uses the complacency of centrists to gain power. This can't work in a healthy democracy, but it works fine in this one.

One of their conspiracies was that Maduro played a part in him losing in 20. Now they think that to gain freedom, Maduro will admit this. So many things are blatantly obvious (bc I listen ti what he says) yet the media is side steps. Even the most critical only go so far,suggestioning ->

The enhanced assay uses the popular line of Tul2 transgenic parasites that express the β-Galactosidase bacterial reporter (Buckner F 1996)
It is a continuous assay that can be run in less than 1 hour. A major performance gain over the previous colorimetric assay (4 hs)!
