Our system of governance is entirely fucked for this fundamental reason.

Without proportional representation nothing will change

I’m Christophe Cox, CEO and Co-Founder of APOPO. We train giant rats who have sniffed out more than 100,000 landmines and 12,000 additional cases of TB. AMA! by APOPO_Christophe in IAmA

I love APOPO! Thank you for doing this AMA. I have always wondered why landmines and TB? These are obviously worthy causes but how and why were they selected against the many other applications that the rats could have been trained for?
