Medullah posted:Yup, the argument against government control of prescription drugs is that the high prices in the US pay for all the research that big pharma does that they "don't profit from" in socialized health care countries, so the only way they'll keep working on new drugs is with YOY record profits. Sounds like a fantastic reason to nationalize healthcare and medicine research instead of leaving it in the hands of private companies with distorted incentives. They can license the IP from the government and produce generics at a modest profit without any of the risk of the research.

Mooseontheloose posted:Can't be seen to be in the tank for Joe Biden, so more jobs is actually bad because that would mean you are praising Joe Biden. If you lose jobs, that's Joe Biden's fault and the economic downturn is on its way. Stay the same, Joe Biden isn't growing the economy. Pure-strain liberal media reporting here, didn't even once mention Hilary's emails, pizzagate, or Hunter Biden. Why are you in the tank for the coastal elites, Mooseontheloose? Why do you America? America is going down the drain folks, and the only way to stop it is to contribute to Mitch McConnell's Horcruxes for America campaign!

bird food bathtub posted:Eh, I don't think you're thinking with enough propaganda-brain. What is actually said in a Republican-lead non-public deposition only tenuously, at best, means a drat thing. The outcome will be whatever talking points Fox vomits into the brains of the swine feeding at their trough. In their minds it will be smoking gun proof of BIDEN CRIME FAMILY thus making it absolutely clear how Joe Biden is directing the corrupt and very unfair DoJ to ensure RIGGED AND STOLLEN, violating the very constitution of our country. Just look how hard they're going after Trump. If they put even half that much effort into going after the EXTREMELY CORRUPT BIDEN'S, they'd have already locked them up. It's just MORE EVIDENCE at how CORRUPT the DOJ is. MAGA!

Killer robot posted:Yeah, a whole lot of it is "Biden's old" which just manifests as "can we get someone younger" but there's no real consensus on who that might be so it's just rummaging through the fridge and hoping something pops out you didn't see before. Barring some unforeseen development, it's likely to matter about as much as in 2020 when people complained Biden was old but the ones doing it the loudest were transparently maneuvering for an even older guy or a similarly old guy in visibly worse shape. I mean, if some charming young primary candidate or third party showed it would be big trouble, but no significant number of people are going to stay home because of Biden's age. I am going to stay home. Not because of Biden's age, but because I can vote from home.

FlamingLiberal posted:This is similar to the poo poo they pulled here in FL when we passed Amendment 4, which was supposed to legalize felon voting. The legislature passed a bill that restricted it to felons who paid all of their restitution, and when the state was sued because people trying to get their voting rights back couldn't determine how much they even owed due to faulty court records, the courts upheld the new bill saying that the state isn't legally required to tell someone how much they owe. So I have no idea how many ex-felons actually had their voting rights restored. This seems like incredibly fertile soil to grow a 6-3 ruling from.

They probably won't be able to do a ton to mess with it, but I am not familiar with the specifics of OH law so I'm not going to say that for sure. I meant the continued disenfranchisement of felons in Florida over unpaid restitution that the court refuses to tell them the exact amount of. I can see it being used as a vessel to enshrine more anti democratic precedent wrt felon voting rights.
