just a way to get money from those with money to spend.

phd in biochemistry and molecular biology: only the wealthy will be able to afford genetic screening and alterations.

Ethically I think all forms of embryonic genome editing in humans should be banned unless it is to treat a specific genetic disease.

As long as you're investing money you are very unlikely to need in the next 5-10 years now is as good a time as ever to buy.

Pick up stocks that pay a dividend and don't look back.

I can't say for sure what will happen with VZ, but it was at 55 a share 8 months ago pays a .64/share quarterly dividend and it sitting at 38-39ish feels like a great "value" stock at current prices with lots of upside as it's likely to push back into the 50s at some point.

In what world do you live in that getting paid a dividend results in you having less money? Yeah you have to pay income tax on but its still a fraction of what you make.

All my dividend paying funds are doing better than index funds and I get paid every quarter on top of the returns. but sure invest in index funds that are still heavy on meta and Tesla lol
