What It's Like to Have Severe Lyme Disease

You are trolling, correct? Someone says that the government should fund research into Lyme disease, and you post a link to an RPG on Kickstarter?

How about a way for people to sponsor medical research or basic science in an effective manner?

Because people have _no idea_ what to sponsor, and really, nor can we expect every individual to do the level of research required to make sure their money is invested properly. People have jobs and lives. It's much better for us to collectively invest in a single pot, and give a body (say, a government) the ability to appoint someone whose job it is to effectively invest it.

Nah, I just have a bit more vision. People in the U.S. gave $358 billion in 2015.

Your opinion is the status quo. Hopefully, someone less narrow minded will come along.
