There is some debate over whether this qualifies as a blue-collar job. After all, ATCs usually earn more than $100,000 per year, work in an office-type surrounding, and supervise airline pilots, who themselves earn six-figure salaries.
Good news everyone! The Patent Office has granted a patent on a cure for cancer. Last December, the Patent Office issued Patent No. 8,609,158 on a âpotent drugâ that ârebukes cancer, cancer cells, and kills cancer.â According to the patent, this drug cures a litany of other maladies.
Congress, however, has finally done something. On Nov. 30, the House approved the 21st Century Cures Act by an overwhelming 392-26 vote. This Wednesday, with a 94-5 vote, the Senate did the same, sending the bill to President Barack Obamaâs desk for his signature. The bill commits billions of dollars to medical research while sending $1 billion to states to help combat heroin and painkiller addiction and assist with recovery.
