It's a sad day when we pretend FMN is an acceptable poster, instead of a long-known terrible scourge.

Much like Bill, he ran to the left, won, governed to the right, and left his party with no real way to fight

punk rebel ecks posted:5% of people who have ever used opioids. Not the entire country. Lots of people are prescribed opioids. Chances are, if you complain about pain or have even a minor surgery, you're going home with some opiate painkillers.

punk rebel ecks posted:Why doesn't Europe have this opioid problem? Would it surprise you that we deregulated opiates? It wasn't a crazy idea, we tended to overlook pain as something that should be treated, when uh... it sucks and it's a good thing for people's well being to not be hurting all the time. But guess what, drug companies really wanted to sell those pain meds and they pushed and lobbied and put in paid articles in doctor's journals to make the stuff that was supposed to be for short term use also for long term use. And it worked, and so what if they got sued for misleading the FDA they still got their pills through and insurance companies are buying them and people are buying them and people are killing themselves for the chemical bliss that they can use to supplant a life drained of all meaning and hope.

Concerned Citizen posted:Bernie Sanders co-sponsored a bill to make selling fake Vermont Maple Syrup a felony on par with bank fraud. Looks like Big Syrup knows how to buy a Senator... False maple syrup is an abomination and should be rightly named as such.

anime was right posted:why not, global warming??? Yeah, if the winter is too warm and the spring not right maples don't make their sap the way required to make syrup. The trees make starches over the winter, and as it gets warm they convert it back to sugar. The male syrup people here in WNY have been having a hard time these past couple years.

Jeb! Repetition posted:True as gently caress. This is also why it was so distasteful and revealing when centrist political pundits were treating Hamilton like the biggest cultural phenomenon last year. Explaining to my mom and dad that Hamilton was black rapping founding fathers and it wasn't a comedy was pretty fun

punk rebel ecks posted:I don't understand this article. What is its argument? If the ACA is repealed, Single Payer advocates suddenly have very strong ground to stand on for implementation. But, instead of saying "go ahead, we didn't like Obamacare anyway," almost all of them are rallying to throw as many wrenches into the process because they think the human cost is too great. It contrasts this with republicans, who even though they say the ACA is the biggest most shameful act of history, are willing to sabotage and destroy bills because they don't like them.

etalian posted:Jimmy Dore interviews author Thomas Frank on why the bad dems are getting wrecked: That's a good book, it'll make yas real mad at the democrats and make all these issues seem just long coming. The turn to the right was calculated and was supposed to enshrine the democrats' power. It failed utterly. It's pretty funny to watch Dore yammer on about how he's being attacked in the guise of an interview

Yinlock posted:one side explicitly wants all non whites to die, the other thinks the first side are dumb The error people keep trying to point out is that people seem to have convinced themselves that everyone who doesn't live in one of like 4 american big cities is a virulent, boiling racist who's hoarding guns and is just looking for a chance to shoot someone who looks just a little different than them. This isn't true. This is the same fiction that is peddled by the right, that every city has a teeming criminal underbelly that is just waiting to murder everyone who isn't used to seeing skyscrapers when they wake up. It's a stupid, and quite frankly, very cowardly, way of looking at the world.

logikv9 posted:i'm pretty sure that nobody is asking for hordes of blue collar Americans to be retrained in computer programming, that's what they have their "young grandchild who is good at computers" for You're wrong, that's pretty much the startup guru's answer to any poverty. FFS just do a google search with the words "miner" and "coding," that's all we can think of doing. Large scale projects to create local hubs of renewable energy aren't what's talked about when they talk about Job Retraining. It's teaching laid off factory workers how to do entry level coding.

What if these are the most exciting ideas they can think of? What if they're practically ejaculating at the idea of an employer tax credit to offer job training? What if they had to change their pants after they said they were gonna make mergers harder? Is it better or worse?

I kinda feel for CC. In another time, before 9/11, before 2008, before the escalator, a suggestion to create a department of the government that provides oversight on drug prices would've been impressive. But now, we've seen how those things all operate, and everyone knows it's not enough.

I mean let's not get all nihilistic here, the pipeline is a really lovely idea that's a bad deal for us and a good deal for Canadian oil companies that wanna sell to china. Bryce still rules, but that's a bad position I hope he changes.
