2 things. One of the most corrupt administrations in history took control of the Oval Office, combined with one of the most ideological Congress. If it even looks like a regulation, it will be suspect. No thought, no debate. Whatever makes donors money will be done.

This is like when you see looting on television, where windows are smashed, things stolen, other stuff just thrown on the ground for no reason. Things set on fire.

I don't think people realize the magnitude of the problem here. This is a Category 5 situation. They're pouring gasoline on important institutions that will take decades to rebuild, and the costs are going to be staggering.

The basis for making genetic info fair game started under Obama under the guise of wellness information. If you're going to blame someone start with him.

HN is a bad place for partisan battle, so please don't comment like this here, and especially please don't make it personal, like you did at the end there.
