Yes, FEMA is federal. If eliminating FEMA lowers federal taxes states could increase their state taxes to compensate and each have their own emergency management agencies. But generally it seems like having 50+ emergency management agencies is less efficient than having 1.
The first clip just seems like they blurred the background for that shot. Maybe because there were people walking in the background, they felt they needed to obscure them.
"Free" (no cost to make the phone call) Internet access was widely available in the UK, on pretty much the same terms as the USA — pay £20/month for X minutes per month.
In addition, and popular for a while, was pay-per-minute access where the ISP didn't charge the customer directly, but took part of the phone call cost. I don't know if this method of payment to an ISP existed in the USA.
That far fewer (only 9%) of British households had Internet access was probably more related to the cost of the computer and modem, and the country generally having less wealth than the USA.
I think it's a fair bit of a stretch to broadly say that this study shows an association.
> Conclusion: Higher intake of calories and fats may be associated with higher risk of [Alzheimer Disease] in individuals carrying the apolipoprotein E ϵ4 allele.
> The hazard ratios of [Alzheimer Disease] for the highest quartiles of calorie and fat intake compared with the lowest quartiles in individuals without the apolipoprotein E ϵ4 allele were close to 1 and were not statistically significant.
For the general population, there was no correlation. Identifying specific genetic outliers where there may be a connection is still useful, but far from a general result.
