Reply to How do we have more woolly mammoth DNA than dodo DNA if woolly mammoths died off thousands of years ago and dodos only died off a few hundred? by Memer9456
Whooly mammoths were considerate enough to die in tundras. They froze and got covered up in ice. Many are being taken out of the ice entire, with meat attached. You can now even get a mammoth steak if you could stomach it.
The Dodos were captured by passing ships, eaten, and ended up buried at sea after a sailor took a dump over the railing.

Reply to Fit to Print (2017) - Documentary that tells the history of how Wall Street greed and lack of foresight lead to the decimation of the newspaper industry and tens of thousands reporters losing their jobs and the eventual erosion of a vital way to hold power accountable.

"erosion of a vital way to hold power accountable"
I can even hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from congress, the senate and other politicians. So sad.
