Things that make me scream

US wants effective Alzheimer's treatment by 2025
The Obama administration is developing the first National Alzheimer's Plan to find better treatments for the disease and offer better day-to-day care for those afflicted.
A newly released draft of the overall goals sets the 2025 deadline, but doesn't provide details of how to fund the necessary research to meet that target date. Today's treatments only temporarily ease some dementia symptoms, and work to find better ones has been frustratingly slow.
A committee of Alzheimer's experts begins a two-day meeting Tuesday to help advise the government on how to finalize the plan.

Who is on this committee and where the hell is this meeting?
Oh wait, the Alzheimer's association is in charge. No wonder they give themselves another decade to figure it out.

THIS DATA ALREADY EXISTS. AND EVERYONE IS IGNORING IT.
