The US is out of the conflict.

Until they turn to focus on Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Panama.

rely on our sweat, tears and blood to move forward with their decisions

Agreed, so stop giving it to them. When I see Americans bring the country to a screeching halt through protest, disobedience, and strikes I will believe in the good people there.

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Yeah but it’s more than he knows in any other language, even Russian.

Just in case you needed another reason not to use Edge.

But then you export less stuff, hurting your economy, while the US still exports just as much to you, so their economy does better. The counter tariffs are to make it less appealing for you to buy, and US exports go down.

In the end, everyone loses, but it needs to hurt them back to make them realize that.

I don’t see that he’s put it off. He’s all over the place about it, as usual, but it’s still a possibility.

Another one? Toss it on the pile.

I’d have put the vocal chords in the nasal passage, allowing humans to still talk while eliminating the choking problem.

Exactly. A very simple correction to the design would allow for both.

The laryngeal nerve is a great example of how flawed our bodies are. A few more are:

• Our back is terrible for walking upright. It evolved as a horizontal support and doesn’t work well when compressed.
• Our hips are too narrow for the size skull we give birth to. Many women die from this without healthcare.
• Our eyes suck. A lot of people need corrective lenses from a young age. This gets even worse as we age.
• Speaking of eyes, our retinas are backwards. The nerves that send the signals back to our brains run in front the receptors that pick up the light. We have a blind spot because those nerves need to pass through to reach the brain.

Yes, most animals can. Insects don’t breathe the way we do at all. They have separate openings for their respiration.

Amphibians start out with gills and only in adulthood do they develop lungs (although the axolotl keeps its gills for life) and can respirate through their skin.

Mollusks either respirate through their skin, gills, or through an air sack.

In none of those cases do the respiratory and digestive tracts cross. And those groups of animals outnumber us by far.
