Of course they’re lying about not having one. Everything they do with regard to health care has been a lie. And of course, all this talk of chaos if SCOTUS rules against the administration is just an attempt to influence their decision.

The Senate Space Hearing
I’m watching it right now. Here‘s Scott Pace’s testimony.
Commercial Space In Congress
There’s going to be a Senate hearing this afternoon, and Jeff Foust lays out some of the issues that will be discussed.
Kodiak
An op-ed supporting the spaceport there. In the interest of disclosure, I should note that I’ve been doing some consulting for them to help develop strategies to expand their market.
The Oxnard Train Derailment
That’s kind of an amazing scene. I’d expect a lot of injuries from being tossed around in those cars.
While this is the same line as the collision in Chatsworth a few years ago that killed so many, and that was also Metrolink, it’s just a coincidence — there’s no relationship between the two events. That one was caused by a driver who was texting and missed a traffic signal, resulting in a collision with a freight train.
Rice Avenue is actually a pretty major thoroughfare. If you’re coming down 101 from Santa Barbara, and want to take the coast highway through Malibu into LA, it’s the most direct route to cut over to the coast (you can’t hug the coast through Ventura and Oxnard, because Point Mugu Naval Air Station is in the way). So this will probably disrupt traffic somewhat. Also, it looks as though the track itself separate, so until they can repair it (and probably replace what looks like old, outdated ties with new ones), it will disrupt all rail traffic (it’s a line shared by both freight, and passenger traffic, with both Amtrac and the Metrolink commuter trains).
Women Earning 72% Of Men
As with much on the Left, it’s just projection.
Leftist Privileged White Woman Commits Faux Pas
Stem-Cell Treatments
They could cure many diseases, if Washington would let them. I think the FDA probably causes more deaths than it prevents.
Risk Aversion
…costs more than fast failure.
This is about defense, but it applies to space as well. NASA in particular suffers from paralysis by analysis, as demonstrated by how long and how much money it took to do that stupid Orion test flight last year (and how long and how much more money it will be until the next one). But it doesn’t matter, because Congress doesn’t really care if anything is accomplished as long as the jobs don’t go away. I may expand on this in the next edition of the book.
When The Government Tells You What To Eat
It’s time to actually do some science before the government makes more disastrous recommendations. I’m still hearing stupid comments from doctors, like the one on Fox News, about how we should still watch our saturated fat and cholesterol. Why do people think that doctors are nutrition experts?
