"30 S&P 500 stocks hit new lows, while only seven reached fresh highs. The last time the index advanced at least 1% to within 1% of a new 52-week high as new lows outnumbered new highs was December 21, 1999, a few months before the Dotcom Bubble top."
This is an except from an upcoming book called Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War, which promises to show "how a new military-industrial complex is arising from the cradle of Silicon Valley," with vast implications for both the global balance
The book argues Silicon Valley is "rebooting" its relations with the military world, "as the Pentagon aims to spend more than a trillion and a half dollars next year and invests in new technologies like AI".
The Senate passed in a few years ago[0]... then the House did nothing. Now the House passes is and we have to hope the Senate does something again. If only Congress could get on the same page and do these things at the same time.
Passing the senate back then was because of shenanigans; not popularity.
They played tricks with the “unanimous consent” procedure where senators didn’t know it was happening until after it was too late to object. Multiple senators said afterwards that they were opposed to it.
The documents do not come close to proving that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID"... The documents released by Gabbard contain nothing remotely resembling proof on the question of how the virus originated – and certainly not proof for the bolded claim on the director’s website that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID.”
It's good to research virus prevention -- and to fund research into virus prevention. But Tucker Carlson started the conspiracy theory that the U.S. funded a group that funded research that wasn't just into virus prevention, but actual "gain-of-function" research (which is false). Tulsi Gabbard is now resurrecting that theory on her last day in office.
The lab and its virus-prevention research did not in any way "spark Covid". (Fauci also believes the lab-leak theory is unsupported, but he testified to Congress that he did not officially share that opinion with other U.S agencies. Tulsi Gabbard says he did, so that's the extent of the "lie" she's accusing him of.) It's interesting that the sum total of the money that theory rests on is "millions" of dollars.
The submitted link (from the reputable magazine Science) does report "further evidence that China is withholding vital data on the contentious issue." But the social media post revealed new incriminating data which China has never shared -- that supports the market-origin theory. ("The maps identify specific stalls as having live animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 and vendors with antibodies to the virus...")
