If you had the absolute cure....

You're a nasty and evil person.

I like you. Are you sure we're not related?

Patent it. Make it free for one year then start charging. I think that is fair. I should be able to profit from my invention just like everyone else.

I know when I smile for no reason at someone, if they don't smile back, I punch them so that I, at least, have compensation for having smiled in the first place.

is that about right?

Dunno... if I had a cure for any sort of disease, it would have been most likely my job or career path and, hopefully, my salary would recognize my efforts.

I mean if I had a mad experimental lab in my garage where I figured out how to cure AIDS or all forms of Cancer, I would ask for a simple repayment of sorts. Subsidize my daily grocery bill. I like to cook, it's my main hobby, I'd love to buy top quality ingredients everyday.

And by your duplicitous nature, wanting payment to cure the sick, when your cure failed to cure everyone you'd be seen as a charlatan and a fraud. And you'd recoil back into the annals of failed things.

Freely given, let the world make of it, what it can.

Patent it, make it yours so that only you control it? selfishness... extremely so.

Enjoy cooking for one.

In that case, you are quite perceptive.

(couldn't find that transistor post)

Lies and slander.

(all good)

I’d offer it up for a 30 pack of Coors and an “Atta Boy”!

Funny you mention that.

It's hard for me to ignore that the places hit the hardest are also densely packed, metropolitan areas, with lots of air pollution. I live out in the sticks, the closest case is about 100 miles away (Roanoke). I'm not saying it couldn't take hold here, but I wonder if we'd fair better than a new York or LA resident.

Eta-I would definitely give it out for free. I couldn't imagine losing a loved one to something like this, and would do anything to keep others from experiencing that as well.

I'd say everyone can have it,

just need to replace EVERYONE in government, after they agreed,

I'd hand over the antidote / ( ok cure )
and we'd get the work...

Every plague hits the population centers hardest.

Simply because they eat wrong, breath crap and have crappy water.

See... history.

I am a fan of social Darwinism.

How about the other kind?

Feel free to expand on the topic to the point where your post makes any sense?

The other kind of Darwinism.
But never mind, it was meant as a joke. I guess it failed as one.

I'm sorry it did because I love your sense of humor normally.

I've had a long day so it went over my head.

My bad...

We're all a bit on edge.
Didn't sleep well last night myself.

Hope you do tonight.

Things are crappy right now but hopefully soon we can all just devolve back to our normal family table bickering.

To your health and have a good night Phage.

Amazing how quickly the world can change, as much as that petty bickering #s me I prefer it to what we have going on now...
