$100 per hour

The millions with AIDS are in Africa where they mate whenever andwith whoever the urge strikes. They dont believe in condoms . In the US only homos and dopers get it today and we'd be better off without them

Wipe the rabid spittle off your chin and do the math.

$31/hr is $64,480 per year. A research assistant with a basic science degree would earn around half that figure, but it's an entry-level position that doesn't involve much more than tending machinery and writing down results as directed by the senior researcher.

A senior researcher in the biomed field would be in the neighborhood of twice that salary, maybe as much as $250K for someone well- renowned.

An entry-level New York City schoolteacher earns roughly $30/hr (not $64K/yr because they don't work a full 2080-hour year).

A midlevel engineering job - four years school plus two to five years on the job - would be between $30-$35 per hour.

Once you've cured cancer, etc, come back here and we'll all chip into a subscription to get your raise to $31.50.

In the _United States_?

Researchers research what is fashionable (i.e. funded); 70 years ago it was methods of determining which race was the master race, these days it's AIDS. I'm 100% behind the guy that said "liberals" - Liberals direct the money towards AIDS. Even when liberals aren't in power, conservatives toss them the research dollars bone.

Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, prostate cancer, breast cancer, Lou Gehrig's, epilepsy, [...] - I could list a thousand diseases right here that can hit anyone tomorrow and CANNOT be avoided. Those are the diseases that ought to get the research dollars.

Contrast: except for a few relatively rare scenarios, avoiding AIDS in a first-world country is very simple; keep it zipped and don't shoot up drugs.

Ya' right. Just because import brand charge so much more for parts is no indication the are any better. The foreign car companies KNOW their customers. They know they will pay more when they buy parts, just like they paid more when they bought their cars and accepted less than wholesale for their trade. They know that they will gladly pay $20 an hour higher shop rates when they have them serviced, because they "think" they are better. LOL
