This discussion is interesting to me because I work in the field and frequently advise marketing what we can and cannot put on a label. In Australia there are labelling regulations as part of the Food Standards Code, including a lot of information on what standards you have to make in order to make specific claims. There is also a requirement enforced by the ACCC that a label not be 'deceptive'. Importantly, this second requirement is entirely seperate and distinct from our legal obligations under the Code. Even if what you're doing is explicitly permitted by a strict reading of the Code, the Australian Consumer & Competition Commission can still decide that it is deceptive to the average consumer and order you to stop (and sue you if you refuse). 'Technically correct' is not a defence to the ACCC. They consider the 'overall impression' that a consumer would get from the label and associated advertising, not a pedantic reading of the exact phrase used.

Discendo Vox posted:FTC has the same authority, but for straightforward reasons they try to avoid setting up potential conflict with other agencies most of the time. The ACCC is much more proactive, although they prefer to avoid actually taking stuff to court where possible and instead get companies to sign undertakings to withdraw the offending packaging/signage and train their staff so it doesn't happen again.

mawarannahr posted:What makes you say this? I believe this is an American dogma. Official policy in many countries, including Turkey, is to fire warning shots. Turkish police kill far fewer people than American ones (roughly 400 from 2007 through 2020, compare to over 1000 in the USA in the last 12 months). The doctrine as I'm aware of it is that you do not fire your weapon unless someone's life is in immediate danger, and if someone's life is in immediate danger you don't gently caress around. If the situation doesn't require shooting-to'-kill then don't shoot at all.

The judge approved the order the same day her mother filed the petition, with no hearing or evidence or anyone appointed to defend the daughter. The daughter wasn't even informed after - she didn't find out until after she was married and trying to get pregnant, which is when she sued everyone involved. The supreme court held that the judge had absolute immunity and everyone else involved was protected by the court order. Did the surgeon get hosed by a medical ethics/licensing board at least?

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:A Washington Post writer is reporting that some Republican leaders are considering letting the country get to the brink of default, having Biden invoke the 14th amendment, and not really challenging the legality of it in any meaningful way. This strategy is appealing because it can: Wouldn't this massively damage America's credit rating? From the point of view of an overseas lender / bond holder it is "the Republicans tried to go into default but were prevented. Next time they're elected....."

We have the PBS here, so at least it's the government deciding if a given drug is worth it. (If a drug is on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme list then the end-user pays maximum $20 per refill, any difference between $20 and the actual-price is paid from the PBS. In return they use this purchasing power to negotiate with pharma companies about whether their product will be on the PBS and how much they have to reduce the price by in order for it to be added)

Ghost Leviathan posted:Also never forget that the transphobic push is very clearly a wedge to re-impose legally enforced gender conformity and roll back existing rights. It's no coincidence it ramped up after Roe vs Wade was struck down. The fascists are winning, and they know it. Hell, sumptuary laws have already made a comeback. Florida legally compels people to wear the 'correct' culturally-mandated clothing for their gender-role.

Aren't republicans incapable of passing ANY budget at the moment? Not just incapable of one that can also pass the senate, they can't even come up with a spending bill at all and even if they also controlled the Senate and Presidency the government would still shut down.

IMO the Speaker should be selected each week: the departing speaker tosses the gavel and whoever catches it is the next speaker. (It is the departing speaker's choice whether to throw underarm or overarm)

That makes sense. Video-on-its-own is not evidence because it could be altered, but it acts to enhance witness testimony that they are not mistaken or remembering incorrectly.

MickeyFinn posted:This raise-the-price-and-discount nonsense is extremely annoying. It is great that capitalism has given me the gift of having to learn stocking schedules, go without things I previously bought rather casually, and get screwed when something runs out that I can’t go without. If I had excess space I could stock up during the sales, but I don’t, so it’s welcome to Screwville for me. Punishing you for being poor is the entire point. Having more money means you get more privileges, that's what money is, and coming up with a new way for poor people to suffer is just as good as coming up with a new way for rich people to consume.
