  Future of the labs in times of great uncertainty Sadly, in the ABC interview Biden basically said that it would be ok if the country sunk into fascism as long as he tried his hardest. It was among his final comments during the interview. That comment alone disqualifies him. He has obviously lost the plot. What will happen to the labs?
