but the decision could fall to Trump, who has opposed banning TikTok.
I firmly believe he only ever said that to get elected. Trump is the one who called for the ban in the first place, and he's already shown that he won't be following through on the campaign promises he doesn't actually care about.
The war on drugs is bullshit, but the fact is that the US government still considers it a schedule 1 drug. My point is that they shouldn't be able to tax it while still pretending that it should be illegal.
The scientific definition of life changes constantly, but viruses more often than not fall under "not alive."
Throughout, viruses have rarely been considered alive. More than 120 definitions of life exist today, and most require metabolism, a set of chemical reactions that produce energy. Viruses do not metabolize. They also don’t fit some other common criteria. They do not have cells. They cannot reproduce independently. Viruses are inert packages of DNA or RNA that cannot replicate without a host cell.
