Or retooling the overall transportation infrastructure? Yes, pollution is bad. Diesel trucks are a highly visible form. However, there are too many unknowns for these sweeping statements about 'true' costs to be taken seriously. I

I don't know how many recursive turtles you want. You have a debt obligation like a utility bill. You want to pay it with your credit card, but you can't because you are over the limit. The end result is you don't spend that

Generics are generally pretty cheap. There are some indications that US doctors are incentivized to prescribe patented meds. I know I've received them when I strongly suspected a generic would have been fine. https://www.ncb
