A consumer thread

Nippon Steel is furious that President Biden blocked their proposed $14.9 billion deal to take over US Steel.

"We are dismayed by President Biden's decision to block Nippon Steel's acquisition of US Steel, which reflects a clear violation of due process and the law governing CFIUS," the Japanese steelmaker wrote in a press release, adding, "Instead of abiding by the law, the process was manipulated to advance President Biden's political agenda."

Nippon said the $55-per-share deal would have revitalized American steel plants with a $2.7 billion investment, protected union jobs, and enhanced America's steel supply chain against low-cost Chinese competition.
"Blocking this transaction means denying billions of committed investment to extend the life of US Steel's aging facilities and putting thousands of good-paying, family-sustaining union jobs at risk. In short, we believe that President Biden has sacrificed the future of American steelworkers for his own political agenda," Nippon continued.

According to Nikkei Asia, the Japanese steelmaker plans to sue the US government, targeting the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which conducted the national security review of the proposed transaction and ultimately influenced President Biden's decision...

Nippon Steel "Dismayed" By Biden's Block Of US Steel Deal, Labels It "Clear Violation Of Due Process"
 


Just a heads up for people. I went to check out that site. My anti-virus told me to fuck off cause it's not happening on it's watch. That doesn't mean that there's a definite problem there, because I've got the protections (theoretically) ramped up pretty good when it comes to visiting sites, but I thought I'd pass it on out of an abundance of caution.

Does your antivirus flag ad plentiful sites? I just opened it in the brave browser and I didn't have a problem.

I don't have a problem with it either.

No.


But like I said, I've got it pretty ramped up, so a specific ad at a specific time would do it. Since it's a real time block, it wouldn't have to be just the site itself, or the site history.

And I'll probably try the site again later, maybe with a different browser or blocker. I just wanted to give out the info I had, in order to let people make an informed decision.

definitely appreciate the heads up!
 
A New Personalized Cancer Vaccines Could Finally Defeat Humanity's Greatest Killer:
Scientists are developing personalized cancer vaccines that work by training the immune system to recognize and destroy a patient's unique tumor mutations, also known as neoantigens.
Unlike preventive vaccines, personalized cancer vaccines aim to eliminate leftover cancer cells after treatments like surgery or chemotherapy, which reduces the risk of cancer returning. The challenge lies in selecting the right neoantigens for targeting, triggering a robust immune response, and ensuring patient safety. Recent advancements in cancer biology and technology are making this possible.
Moderna's mRNA-based vaccine, previously successful against melanoma, is now showing encouraging results in treating HPV-negative head and neck cancer. Of the trial participants, 14 saw some level of tumor control, with two experiencing complete remission.
Similarly, a company called Transgene developed a personalized vaccine called TG4050. Combined with surgery and traditional therapies, it resulted in no cancer recurrences in a group of head and neck cancer patients after over a year of follow-up. BioNTech and Genentech also presented positive data on their personalized vaccine targeting pancreatic cancer, a particularly deadly form of the disease.
Of the patients receiving the vaccine, a significant portion showed strong immune response and lower recurrence rates compared to those who didn't receive it. A larger phase 2 trial is underway to confirm these findings. While these early-stage studies offer promising results, personalized cancer vaccines hold the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment.

Even though big pharma deserves the disdain we feel for it, I have to admire the front line researchers who keep advancing medical boundaries. Things like this, Lasik, smaller MRI machines are just a few.
