It's still the wrong question to ask. We should ask what are the outcomes that these systems produce, not how new the drugs are. A cutting-edge healthcare system plagued by inequality and extreme costs can produce worse results than a

I mean, its 2021 and you still cannot fractionally scale the resolution without slashing your battery life and losing 30% of your processing power (and some random stuttering on all applications). Having a 15.6" 1080p screen basically

If the 500 million figure is correct, you would need only a 0,02% (1/5000) increase in spending for a change to be worth $80.000. Diminishing the notoriously bad load times of GTA:Online by 70% could probably do that. I actually never
