facialimpediment posted:The general non-evil position is that if Moderna just willy-nilly says "here's how you make our vaccine", you get a lot of poo poo-quality vaccines made in locations like Emergent that make everything worse. On the other hand, Emergent was licensed to produce the vaccine and still hosed up. So I'm not so sure QA of product is a benefit of licensing. A better "non-evil" position is something something without patents something stifling innovation something investing in vaccines

Yeah I don't know the solution right now, I just find the RELEASE THE PATENT THE COMPANIES ARE EVIL people moderately annoying. Even if they are / turn out to be right, the patented parts of the vaccines aren't the current bottleneck.SquirrelyPSU posted:Adjustments to House and Electoral College seats as a result of the 2020 Census just dropped.

That Works posted:Have you gone through a CCW process and do you know the difference between may and shall issue? The difference is that with "may issue" just ticking the checkboxes isn't a guarantee to get a carry license, you have to demonstrate a reason to do so. Shifting to "shall issue" would result in more people walking around with guns, that doesn't seem like a controversial statement.

You think a process that still requires you to submit finger prints to your local sheriff or AG's office, have a notarized witness attesting to your character and have a criminal background check run is going to represent a risk for ownership? CCW holders aren't typically carrying out gun involved crimes and the ambiguity with laws on CCW between states / inconsistent policies even between cities within states can be used as a way to push charges on people. How authorities decide who to apply charges to is an exercise for the reader. e: Keeping up an inconsistent legal process that only stifles the ability of the law abiding to possess while opening up multiple avenues to turn someone into an unintentional lawbreaker is a terrible method of gun control.

That Works posted:You think a process that still requires you to submit finger prints to your local sheriff or AG's office, have a notarized witness attesting to your character and have a criminal background check run is going to represent a risk for ownership? Yes, someone carrying around a gun is more dangerous than someone not carrying around a gun. Even if they aren't out to murder someone, they can have an accident, are more likely to succesfully kill themselves, can lose the gun, and can misjudge when it is appropriate to shoot someone. quote:CCW holders aren't typically carrying out gun involved crimes and the ambiguity with laws on CCW between states / inconsistent policies even between cities within states can be used as a way to push charges on people. How authorities decide who to apply charges to is an exercise for the reader. Then address those enforcement discrepancies directly. Making it easier to carry a gun in public in a country with a major gun safety problem is a step backwards. Not going to carry on a gun debate, but the assumed ruling from the Supreme Court here is going to put more guns in public. What your take on that is your own I guess.

If this ruling effectively turns every state into a shall-issue one, I’d be hoping to see some standardization of the process and nationwide reciprocity, which I think would involve a background check at minimum. Constitutional carry on a nationwide basis is problematic to me.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Probably. They just killed the FTCs ability to go after judgements against scammers. The law at issue in this case was not well-crafted, and while I disagree with the court that the only remedy was scrapping it, “killed the FTCs ability to go after judgements against scammers” makes it sound more sinister than it is. Congress wrote a poo poo law in the nineties and they have utterly failed to pass appropriate statutes against phone fraud since.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I'd imagine the DNC is already considering ways to alter/redistrict NY-14 to gently caress over AOC. It's a weird perfect storm in AOC's favor though. Chuck Schumer is up in 2022, still wants to be Senate Majority Leader, and is *scared shitless* of a primary challenge by AOC or otherwise. Schumer won 70-27% in 2016, so his only worry is getting primaried. The maps are going to be determined by the NY Democratic Party (after they reject a commission's recommendations twice) and that machine's been leaking oil for the last few years. You also can't really chop up the Bronx to gently caress up her district very much. So hell, I'd take the opposite view. They'll probably leave her district untouched to keep AOC happy and Schumer will go out and campaign with her if she wants. She'll be in Congress for as long as she wants and the DNC probably will think it's in their best interest to keep her in the House

Vincent Van Goatse posted:If the DNC is so eager to gently caress over AOC why did they let Pelosi give her a prominent position on the Oversight Committee? Both the far left and far right like to paint AOC as the radical leftist firebrand nonstop throwing molotovs. But when on capital hill she's careful about picking battles and otherwise is a dutiful party member who goes along to get along. At least according to the people I know who work on capitol hill for a living.

A Bad Poster posted:I want to see the response they'd give for "I don't trust the government." This is a pretty common response from coworkers who will not get vaccinated. Admittedly I was on the fence at first due to short testing time and wide range of symptoms but the VA offered 2 paid administrative days off for both doses plus stated workers compensation claims would be blessed by management on the way to the department of labor. They are going the extra mile with the admin days off and still some people think the government is going to track them. Honey you have to use your PIV card at 99% of the doorways. You have to log in to your workstation with your PIV. They already know exactly where you are 8 hours a day 5 days a week. You’re terrified of the government tracking you so ... you work for the government ....?
