I didn't ignore it and you're the one throwing "extra" into the mix. She's the one that used "tooth extraction" as the central example in her stupid tweet. There are tons of other longer term acute pain. 3-6 months is still considered acute.

e: Yes, I know the original tweet is about "extra" meds and I agree that over PRESCRIBING is the issue but putting a flat 7 day limit on all opioid subscriptions for acute pain is idiotic.

what does the bill define as acute? I'm guessing it's "things that don't last 3-6 months"

the common, or even industry, definition literally doesn't matter at all here, that's not how bills work

you're extremely on the wrong side here lmao

I'm not on anybody's side and sorry but USPOL's collective positions on a given day don't really dictate what is right or wrong in my outlook on life. There doesn't always have to be a "side" to everything that cancels out holding conflicting or overlapping outlooks like a lot of USPOL regulars seem to think. People believe in the Us vs. Them rhetoric where everything is an absolute one side of a divide or the exact polar opposite position far too much here lately and it's kind of lead me not to take a lot of what gets talked about (or rather how it gets hyper-analyzed for "correct takes") terribly seriously at length anymore, not gonna lie.

There's literally no "side" to my argument is the thing. I didn't particularly like John McCain much and his obsession with regime change helped get the US and some allies into a lot of messes over the years. I thought he was a bad candidate in 2008 and his choice of running mate was a joke that lasts to this day, but Trump's preoccupation with a literal dead guy this week is ridiculous and kind of comes into focus more when he's the living party in this, I guess feud. My opinion of John McCain really doesn't have much to do with that nor do I figure I need to qualify how ridiculous I find Trump's behavior with a litany reminder of "But this guy did this and that thing I didn't care for when he was alive".

Anyway you do you in all honesty and if you want to see a "side" and exact right vs wrong outlook in literally every twist and turn of life (including what the exact correct position is supposed to be on a sitting president occupying his time with attacks on a literal dead guy) and be mad about anything that opposes the decided exact right position for apparently all USPOL posters to hold then go for it. Nobody's stopping you, I personally just find it peculiar and figure it looks kind of exhausting. It's not how I view the world anyway.

I imagine the motivation would have a lot to do with being able to push voting rights from the executive branch and not from an unelected role in GA. She must be doing the math on a GA senate run and think her odds are better with Biden.

I was going to say, she doesn't have too many options after the fiasco that was the gubernatorial race - not her fault, gently caress Brian Kemp. But she's licking her wounds and trying to figure out where her next step up and out of this is, because it's too corrupt down here for her to win.

It's not person-to-person transmissable, (usually being spread through rodent poop inhaled in dry/dusty environments) and neither the Sin Nombre outbreak or any other North American outbreaks have involved other organs failing as far as I can remember or find, but it has happened in Asia with closely related viruses of the same family.

Honestly, I don't think enough Americans have suffered material hardships because of Donald Trump and it seems like the ones that have (farmers) are still on board with him.

People are however seriously hurting due to lack of access to healthcare, education, and a basic social safety net. Running on these things is more important than highlighting how bad Trump is.

You can do both. He hurt education by his appointment of Betsy DeVos, the student loan crisis is worse than it's ever been and gives real hardships to people even decades out of school, he's an enemy of Obamacare, hasn't done a goddamn thing to lower RX prices like he promised, has attacked any social assistance program he can... there's a lot there.

I get what you're saying and I agree, but I think "erasing Trump" can be both if you frame it right. Voting for Biden is a vote against Trump and everything he's done, but also a vote for (Biden's plan to fix the problem.)
