This CRISPR news is totally normal in the context of new technologies, biotech, stops and starts, background volatility, etc. I just wonder if generalists who have been piling into the stocks know that it's still preclinical and are prepared for all of the above ups and downs.

Regardless of who directly pays (individual, insurer, or govt), all costs are indirectly borne by the American people. Any proposal that doesn't get at total spend is worthless at addressing the primary issue.

This was a crystal clear takeaway from when I visited China. Maybe they are out there, but I didn’t meet one company that was still considering a Nasdaq listing now that HKEX has opened up. uk.reuters.com/article/us-ho…
