I continue to maintain that Biden was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime - mostly due to an accident of timing. If he had been president in 2016 or 2000, he obviously would've been a huge improvement over Trump or Cheney, respectively. Heck, even in 2008 or 2012 or 1996 he would've been.. fine.

Generalized Quasispecies Model with Time Delays and Periodic Fluctuations in Replication
In this research, we present a generalized quasispecies model in which population growth is governed by an arbitrary nonlinear function incorporating time delays. We begin by demonstrating that, under the constant population constraint, the dynamics of the system with time delays remain confined to the invariant manifold for both forward and backward time evolution. Furthermore, we establish that in this modified quasispecies model, defined on a single-peak fitness landscape, in the presence of…

"the additional expenditure on the NHS is not about improving our living standards, but about correcting the physical consequences of the appalling food that the neoliberal food supply industry is delivering to us, which is grossly detrimental to our health. We are not, in other words, better off as a consequence of this additional expenditure" -- @…

Neoliberalism is consuming our well-being
As The Guardian has noted: Britain is on track to become a “National Health State” where half of all public spending is allocated to the NHS and social care by the end of the decade, according to a leading thinktank. They added: As the chancellor came under pressure on Thursday to defend her...
