I don't think he will ever top this one for misplaced, self-satisfied pride. I would almost say he was purestrain centrism, like the living embodiment, except that his only problem with Conservatism is when they say the quiet parts out loud.

The decline in life expectancy precedes covid due to the opioid epidemic, although most of the drop since 2020 has been the pandemic. Also, the US is unique among developed countries for declining life expectancy even though the covid pandemic affected everyone. So both of those points would indeed be correct: the drop is due to the decline of the US empire and even the large portion of the drop that is actually due to covid is worsened by the cruelty with which the US regime treats its people.

The question I have to ask about America is: would the US have ever implemented public health measures to protect people during a pandemic at any point in its history? I know there was a mass vaccination campaign to stop polio.

In this case, the prior alt-med industry, flush with cash and know-how from dietary supplement marketing, found itself in alignment with large segments of the Republican party. The politicization of vaccination and resulting alignment of outcomes was a big factor diminishing the efficacy of vaccination efforts.

Different transmission factors and a generally less mobile population shifted a lot of activity to city governments. A lot of the public health apparatus, including things like greater federal quarantine authority, emerged in response to the 1919 pandemic.

A functional state would crack down on an industry that profits by undermining public health efforts, but the US government has been mostly captured by big business and is apparently mostly incapable of regulating predatory industries and protecting the population.

Having the “We’re fine!” polar bear right beside the oil geyser is something you’d expect in a Captain Planet cartoon as obvious propaganda from the bad guys to show kids they’re evil but Zyklon Ben is here being 100% serious with itNenonen posted:(I don't know what Tulsi has been up to recently other than she's on Fox News and apparently Ben is still horney for her) Tulsi has been part of an insane LBGTQ+ hating and Muslim hating cult in Hawaii since she was born and was basically groomed from childhood to get into politics by its leader. Because she was in Hawaii she adopted a liberal facade and the democrats loved her because she was a minority woman but as she started to lose favor with the them she instantly spun on a switch and is currently a Q-Anon alt-right anti-trans and anti-gay person now because that’s now the obvious path for her to get back into power. QAnon Anonymous just did two episodes about her and it’s insane how very clearly fash she was even while the democrats were holding her up as the ideal leftist Dr. VooDoo fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Dec 31, 2022 |

FDA has been actively pushing to implement new regs on dietary supplements for years; they just got through the biggest restraint on homeopathic products in about a century. I said "mostly" incapable. Yes there's agencies staffed by people who are trying to do what they can, it takes them years even during then worst pandemic in a century, there are plenty of ways regulations get overturned (courts, congressional review act), and even if these stick it won't solve the problem. It would take new laws which congress seems to be unwilling/incapable of passing, hence the US government is mostly incapable of addressing the gap in life expectancy. E: do you have a link to something about the new regs though, it does sound like a good thing VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jan 1, 2023 |
