This exemplifies Fox - they provided a lengthy article, and a 3 person video with interviews, and yet the listener/reader knows no more about what actually happened than before they began. Its well produced hearsay.
Hmmmmm. Opensecrets says Harlan Crow has donated: 14,700,000.00 to Polical canditates and parties over 30 years.
In 2022 Crow gave $184,400 to the National Rep. Congr. Comittee, and $750,000 The Congressional Leadership Fund ( a Rep. pac), and $150,000 to ‘take back the house 2022’, and $725,000 to Mitch McConnels pac, and $175,000 to the Rep. Party of Texas, and $96,000 to other Dem. candidates/groups.
2 Questions…
He donated how much to this guy?
and why is it news?
Do we allow people to choose how they indoctrinate their children? We all are. We all were. The only question is who’s indoctrination.
“In conclusion, we used a strategy for upregulating mitophagy by Usp30 deletion, with similar results obtained with a pharmacological USP30 inhibitor. These strategies to reduce USP30 lead to enhanced mitophagy and potent protection against αSyn toxicity. This work validates inhibition of USP30 as a promising strategy for further testing for potential disease-modifying effects in PD.”
Mitophagy - clearing out old stuff from cells. Clears out dysfunctional mitochondria from cells.
aSyn toxicity - alpha synuclein - a protein found in the body, esp. in the brain. [We think it helps with some neruo-regulation, and DNA repair. We think these two go together. ] In people with diseases like Alzheimers an Parkinsons there appears a ‘buildup’ of αlpha-synuclein in places and a corresponding degeneration of other areas.
This study tried to crank up the clearing out of old mitochondria in Mice first by modifying their genes to removing (knocking out) the ability to make USP30 (an enzyme). They also cooked up a molecule that could just block USP30 (it gets there first and sits in the way).
Both methods worked to protect mice when they tried to give them alpha synuclein problems. Of course there’s lots of other questions about what else is affected, but this has potential to be fix this one part of the problem.

Thanks for saying this. It’s features at price point.
“It’s better than the Pi at only 3x the price.”
And what’s with the “Avoid the Raspberry PI” sentiment? They are hard to get (?). I’ve been using the Pi for forever, and have zero ‘product’ complaints that would make me want to "Avoid the Pi’. If anything, I have plans for more. Again, the price - A Zero2W is $15 MSRP. For $15, You can put that in everything. A Pi4 is $35. Its just a great deal.
However, what those dealers are leaving out of their argument is that BEVs are not the only vehicles sitting unsold on their lots.
In fact, new-vehicle inventory is at a two-year high, according to Cox Automotive research.
As of the start of November, new-vehicle inventory volume in the US was sitting at a record 2.4 million units. It is safe to say that those are mostly gasoline-powered vehicles since the inventory level is currently higher than the number of EVs that the US will produce all year.
The truth is that the current interest rates have affected all automotive sales, EVs or otherwise.
It’s true some of those people who placed reservations for EVs last year are reconsidering their purchases now, as highlighted by the >group of dealers, but that’s not because they are not interested in EVs anymore. It’s because they can’t afford the several hundred >dollars more for the monthly payments now, thanks to high interest rates.
