I think they release articles like, "experemental virtical farm" or "new drug cures cancer" as some solution to all of our problems online all the time just to make us think that all this shit is building towards a better future.
I aint seen nothing but a rise in cancer deaths in my life - or a decrease in happiness for the average American, while we invest more and more and more into this giant machine that is supposed to make the world a better place.
Not to mention, the conservatives managed to never start a shooting war with the russians when they were in charge. So its not even less war with the left.
Fuck yall.

The ClonaSEQ tests that guide her treatment have only been available to the public for just over a year, the oncologists told us. Prior to that, it was just the standard technique for detecting the cancerous cells. This translates into less recurrence, as do new forms of therapy.
Changes like this are incremental. The treatment in the article I linked probably would not even apply to her, even if it was ready now, due to the form of ALL she has.
The distrubution of these new treatments will vary. We know a lady with a similar form of cancer whose main complication is not any of the therapy, but that she got MRSA out of a Savannah hospital and it caused brain damage.
Ignoring the cost of all of this, obviously. I don't even look at the bills now.
