I think we too often fail to recognize when looking at systemic/sociology issues (of all types, but including racial Injustice) that things we accurately hold to be true are only true in the aggregate.

I think there's a tendency to knee jerk attack concerns about individual experiences because conservatives use them to try to discredit the overall concept (and from an academic standpoint anecdote isn't the singular of data and all that). I think there's a tendency because of that to try to pretend unjust outcomes on the individual level flat out don't exist by pointing to the aggregate instead of acknowledging that a policy is unjust for some but corrects more Injustice that it creates.

The reperations issue is particularly difficult in this regard because of the magnitude of the difference of the individual experiences and the inherent impossibility of measuring or knowing them.

Which isn't too say they shouldn't be done. I think targeting specific ways racism has created systemic and generational injustices is probably the best both because it works toward solving the actual problem and because it will benefit those most who have been most harmed (i.e. the reperations will be filtered back through the same systems that created the problems).

Yeah I agree in that something needs to be done but lmao if we’re gonna trust a capitalist system to absorb reparations without it getting massively hosed up.

Imagine a scummy landlord corporation renting to a complex that has 30% African-American tenants, and they decide that they’ll raise the rents for the people they think are getting reparations by an extra $100 a month compared to the other tenants. So a white family would see their rents raised by $125 a month, while the black family next door sees $225 a month. How do you prove that they’re intentionally screwing the black families over with higher pricing when everyone is living in different sized apartments and signing leases at different times?

Capitalism will ensure that money goes straight to the top, unless we put a local system of controls in place. Good luck passing that by any GOP-dominated state.

Slightly relevant:
Rent Controls on every rental property needs to loving happen asap because the market is incapable of regulating a primary human need because we will sacrifice anything to be able to have a place to live and capitalism knows that so there is zero impetus to make things affordable. When you have to slash budgets for healthcare and food to afford housing, then something is rotten.

More trash for the trash fire

This is some pretty unbelievable bullshit

quote:

The term “stronger” in Friedman’s email, Sackler said, “meant more threatening, more frightening. There is no way that this intended or had the effect of causing physicians to overlook the fact that it was twice as potent.”

Yes the common usage of "stronger" when talking about painkillers is really its reputation for being "threatening"

Heck Yes! Loam!

Ya know what? Physicians knew exactly what oxycontin did and exactly how addictive it was. The ability of physicians to deflect blame for literally everything is staggering. They're run the show as the supreme medical patriarchy and blame everyone else when poo poo goes down. Why? Because they're happy as gently caress to keep collecting checks from addicts and insurance who need a prescription in-person for C-II meds.

Nationalizing healthcare will require taking physicians down a peg or four. They just love the current gravy train.

entertainingly the biggest offenders probably need to be taken up a peg or two, because half the reason for the current nightmarescape of getting health care in america is that for the last thirty years primary care- you know, the doctor you will see most, and is in charge of figuring out if you've got anything REALLY wrong with you- has been where med schools dump the bottom 50% of the class.

and so you have the drug reps, who wander to and fro, thither and yon, distributing lunches and party favors in exchange for asking "please, could you be so kind as to use our product, when the opportunity arises," and who every doctor without exception figures are getting hopelessly ripped off on this deal.

the punchline comes when there's half a dozen drugs that can treat the same problem and you know what, gently caress it, those guys bought me lunch that one time, and it's not MY money.
