  Is this something that I missed on SNAP benefits?

  There was a missed opportunity to have a “typo” with an extra “t”

  First of all, I would like to commend you on your calm and respectful demeanor. I comprised a few in a comment below. I am interested in information on the approval process and what goes into that. On the outside, it appears that it’s just a sign off sheet and popularity contest so I’d like to educate myself on that process more.

  Ok fair enough but how does something like that get through the competitive process then? On the surface it sounds frivolous which would mean it wouldn’t be competitive?

  The cost of some of these are insane too.

  I personally don’t understand gain of function and why we would ever do that.

  There was one person that was searching for parasitic snails…for some reason.

  Again, I think the pendulum swung too far for this admin however some of these grants, in my opinion, are frivolous and we could all probably agree WAY too expensive for the work that is being done.

  While I agree this administration went too far in not funding stuff, there were A LOT of grants that were useless and frivolous.

  No I’m saying that was probably their justification for doing so. I don’t think it was right at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obama's got jokes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m not sure how they do that either. I can somewhat understand the fact that the other countries were arming the kids and thus everyone is a threat but there are specific operational guidelines that make it so this is not the case so I agree I don’t understand how that is a thing either besides the operational parameters were not correctly articulated.

  I agree with this one hundred percent. Obama drone strikes took out a lot of civies

  I hear ya but I wouldn’t put it past the government. You’re now a bargaining chip in future negotiations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The IRS will still find you lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohhhh that’s interesting.
