The study or the VW commercials?

Academia is an industry. Like public art its patron is the government. It’s not necessary to produce a usable or even useful product. The purpose is to give jobs to people who support the government with their vote.
In college I worked for a doctor. He and his graduate students lived off the grants. They resentfully generated data and wrote reports about a week before the output was due. The first question was, what are they trying to prove. Any data contradicting that proof was rejected or “scaled.”
In my dreams.
Sigh...
Look at granny run, run, there's something on grand-daddy's mind.
He went to the doctor, got a brand new pill. The doctor said, "son, you ain't over the hill."
Now he can't sit still.
Great, gosh, almighty, won't you ...
It isn’t the subject of the grant study. It is who the particular ‘researcher’ at UT Austin IS and who he/she knows.
They could give a crap about old people. They’d much rather just give them a pill and be done with it.
I doubt that there are many “ups” at that age, especially for the men.
DANG!
“ups and downs”?
Much slower.
Now give me my 200 thou.
Lemme tell y’all ‘bout our relationship.
As you might have read, i am 63, and ‘she’ is kinda close to that.
We started 15 years ago. In that time, ‘she’ has developed illnesses stemming from toxic mold in her workplace, to where her doctor has already pronounced her dead, just waiting for the heart to stop. As for me, I have been told that I am a diabetic, I have PED, I have congestive heart failure.
Viagra? Can you spell the word ‘don’t’, (for it is unsure as to whom would kill whom in the process)?
We share life as we can, when we get together. ‘She’ has a busy family, where as I am I, alone, but we are never out of contact.
There are no secrets, no hidden agendas, no ulterior motives.
The good news is that the study isn't of queers and lesbians like seemingly every other tax wasting study.
Golden Girls Napl?
186 grand? Wow! They must have run up quite a bar tab while hanging around in The Villages.
This study makes as much sense as the study conducted several years ago by a professor at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette to determine why women bare their breasts at Mardi Gras parades. I think this study cost about $300K
The House of Representatives should reduce the next National Science Foundation appropriation by triple the cost of this inane study. They should do this for every organization that conducts these frivolous studies and receives federal taxpayer dollars. Then we would see some sanity included in the process.
With all the drugs they pump into seniors, having a sex life is RARE. You are doped up on Blood Pressure meds, pain meds, cholesterol drugs, and because they can’t fix what Big Pharma destroyed, or only treat symptoms...PAIN of OA, OP, drugs like Lyrica cause loss of Libido. So It doesn’t cost a dime to know seniors do not have much of a sex life even with a dam$ ED drug.
And people wonder why Trump is popular. This is why the average person hates politicians. All of them.
