Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can’t sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.
Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.
I’ll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.
Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.
Eh. Honestly, the line of “questions” was rather stupid.
“Why aren’t you lobbying to make your business irrelevant” is essentially what the interviewer pushed aggressively.
Sure, I get calling out a CEO for deflecting tough questions with corporate BS. But it was a pretty dumb line of questioning in the first place.
Why isn’t Google lobbying for privacy protections?
Why isn’t Comcast lobbying for net neutrality?
Just make your statement and ask for comment. “Our listeners consider Intuits lobbying against tax reform that would benefit tax payers to be adversarial to their customers. What would you say to them?”
