So basically Robocop?

side note the lack of CFCs sort of boned asthma medicines in the US since inhalers up until the phase-out were cheap as gently caress and used CFCs (in insanely miniscule amounts). Since they had to change the design/formula for them medical companies were given a new patent and whoops now inhalers cost an arm and a leg to make sure you keep a lung.

I have asthma, and in Europe my inhalers cost like 5 bucks. It's definitely not CFCs that are reponsible there


e:VvVVVV yeah I get what you're saying, but it's pharma lobbying/regulatory capture that caused this, CFCs were just a tool that was used to extract a corporate advantage at the expense of the patients. I don't think we're disagreeing really

It's not, but it is. Removing CFCs allowed them to 'change the formulation' which made it a new product with new patent rights meaning generics and the like were barred. It's a captive market so they can charge whatever the hell they want.

Democrats- The leech

I believe the Republican-Democrats which Jackson lead to become the Democrats were the more left party at the time. Then when Nast gave the Republicans the Elephant they were the more left party.

There are about 3 million wild donkeys living in the US. I'm not even going to look up how many wild elephants there are but I'm going to assume a lot less than that.

The point there is that donkeys are not native to America. The ancesteral stock comes from Africa just like elephants, with donkeys later being brought to the new world.

I find little pyramids of empty Modelo cans all over my neighborhood. We're about 50% Mexican immigrants. Now and then I'll find one made of Pacifico, rarely Dos Equis, and never Tecate or Corona.
