Not sure if it's considered "politics" and thus not allowed for a thread topic.

It's a very relevant mainstream news item so would love to be able to chat about it.

It does seem like a political hot button in the US at least. And isn't there already a thread about it?

Were you planning on using the word "should"? That's a good sign it's political.

If so, I'll use that one. Thanks.
 
I have some solemn news to report. Many in the community had been wondering where the prolific @Vanadium 50 has been. V50 hasn't posted a message in nearly a year. After months of questioning, the mentor group dug in and did some investigation and we're confident V50 passed away early this year. Few members need reminding what kind of force @Vanadium 50 was for the community and physics. A mentor for 5+ years and an annual award winner seemingly every other year. He has a top 10 post count...
