Does New Horizons have the capability to find any undiscovered moons?

Also, my little girl has been fascinated with space since she was two. She ran in my office this morning "Daddy, can you show me pictures of Pluto today?" I loved having that moment where I could say "We've never seen it this close before ever" and watch a kid's curiosity get sparked by it. Thank you!

Nearly every other network reported that typography experts have all concluded the documents were a blatant forgery.

Going further, people have tracked down every typewriter that had potential to format documents as alleged. They then attempted every way possible to make these documents using these typewriters. They could never make it fit.

On the other hand, the documents line up perfectly to a default setting in an older version of Microsoft Word.

Edit: For more reading, I strongly recommend Thomas Phinney's writeups on the subject. See here and here for some samples. His extensive credentials in typography can be found here. To summarize, he's made typography his life in terms of education, business career, and law, and recently was product manager for fonts and global typography for Adobe. He knows his stuff. And he convincingly and repeatedly shows why the memos can be conclusively proven as forgeries.

The Affordable Care Act kept profit margins in check by requiring companies to use at least 80 percent of the premiums for medical care. That's good in theory, but it actually contributes to rising health care costs. If the insurance company has accurately built high costs into the premium, it can make more money. Here's how: Let's say administrative expenses eat up about 17 percent of each premium dollar and around 3 percent is profit. Making a 3 percent profit is better if the company spends more.

It's as if a mom told her son he could have 3 percent of a bowl of ice cream. A clever child would say, "Make it a bigger bowl."

Wonks call this a "perverse incentive."

Thanks for the kind words about my analysis, helix400.

You're welcome. Thanks for your work on this issue. Some of us deeply appreciate strong analysis like this.

The internet is a interesting place sometimes. Being in the middle of a conversation involving Dan Rather and Thomas Phinney on the Air National Gaurd document scandal.

Are there any future plans to reduce or remove the opinionated advocacy at the end of each video? It seems like each video is 90% science, followed by the final 10% which is your opinion of things. It's hit the point where I simply don't use these videos for children anymore. We don't get a diverse set of opinions, we just get yours while ignoring all others.

As an example, the The Rise of the Machines video. It implied this time is different, and the future will be one of mass unemployment. Then at 10:30, it switches further to advocating for UBI and dreams of fixing poverty and inequality and happy chirping birds. Kids hear that and think that must be the solution and must work.

Meanwhile, this morning while hearing yet another news report on the labor shortages and supply chain issues, I had the thought "Boy, we sure could use some of the automation that Kurzgesagt said was coming."
