The approval of the drug, called RiVive, will provide patients with another over-the-counter option in the United States, where drug-related overdose deaths surpassed 100,000 in 2021.
He said he didn’t “want to bore you with detail here,” but that basically,
“I know it may not sound like much,” Kirby said
The headline grabbed my support. This lines cooled my excitement. Thoughts from others? I feel like maybe the headline isn’t as much of a grand slam when I see this kind of waffling.
That’s the kind of vibe I get from most of the Biden administration’s actions. They make for great lists of actions to show that they’re doing something, but in practice how effective is it really?
Saying “key decision-making authorities” sounds like exactly that: key positions. Moving key existing positions out of conflict of interest.
To finish your quote:
He said he didn’t “want to bore you with detail here,” but that basically, “this change required a completely different shift in the way these crimes are investigated and prosecuted by taking them outside the chain of command, which already had existing protocols in place in existing judicial system.”
That really explains it, I don’t know why you cut it off.
“I know it may not sound like much,” Kirby said, “but it’s a big change to the way the military did it.”
I think my brain panicked when I saw the start of that first sentence and went into scan mode. Good reminder to read to completion before voicing an opinion. Thanks!
It’s something we should all be happy about if we value peace and stability. If this aid package (and others moving forward) will help to deter an aggressive authoritarian power from pursuing their expansionist goals in the region, it’s money well spent. The cost of war is much higher and lives, unlike dollars, don’t come back.
Makes me wonder how many others there are that don’t have an illegal hose attached to the outside.
There should be random unannounced business inspections. Even when shit isn’t as shady as this, when I worked in an ice cream factory, they knew when health inspections were coming and went into high cleaning mode immediately before. While I don’t think they would have failed if they didn’t do that, it’s not very useful to do inspections only after a business does a deep clean, so there’s no way to know.
So random inspections that aren’t announced until the inspector is at the gate, plus offer nice rewards for people reporting a PA announcement to do some quick cleaning (or say the company has to hand over video footage for the hour before up to the hour after).
You have no idea what you’re talking about. What they found is very typical of biotech R&D. You clearly have no experience in diagnostic/R&D biotech. please stop spreading outright lies.
In your extensive experience, how common are unlicensed biotech R&D facilities being run in secret? And I see no reason being capable of biotech R&D would preclude it from being capable of more malicious purposes. If anything, I'd assume a significant amount of overlap between the two capabilities.
" So I did a bit of digging, and it’s unlikely this is a foreign agent.
It looks like Prestige Biotech was a creditor for and acquired the assets of Universal Meditech when the company collapsed. Prestige was storing what was left of Universal in this warehouse.
Universal Meditech was selling SARS test kits that got recalled in February of last year, which likely led to their bankruptcy. My guess is that Prestige didn’t have the available funding to properly dispose of the biohazards or care for the test subjects, ended up with a bunch of infectious mice that they couldn’t get rid of legally, and just decided to warehouse them in Fresno until they came up with a solution.
I don't see how it's cheaper to maintain an entire facility and staff just to take care of unwanted items, but I concede it's a possibility, bureaucracy and inertia being what it is.
Homeboy should have tried a dirt bike, considering there are hundreds and hundreds of miles of completely undefended border in the wilderness between the US and Canada. But sure, instead let’s load it into a big conspicuous vehicle and drive it through the choke point where they’re specifically looking for contraband.
Meh, I’m sure I’ve seen people strap more weight to a single KLR650. If you’re using an actual motocross bike, maybe you’d need two buddies to go with you.
Military industrial complex is firing on all cylinders. I’m all for the aid to these countries just wish our government did more for the everyday person on top of this.
Last time us everyday people got something from the government, we were blamed for the resulting inflation, which had nothing to do with it, but it makes a good sound bite...
Obama expended all his political capital on getting a watered down healthcare expansion passed and republicans took Congress for almost a decade because of it.
Biden starts cleaning up the absolute mess that Trump left and starts taking care of people to alleviate effects of the pandemic, and republicans take the House preventing pretty much anything else from being done.
As soon as any minor good starts being done people scream about taxes and elect republicans.
This is a good thing. We CANNOT let China take Taiwan. They provide a huge majority of our semiconductors and computer chips. If that were to go down, we’d be absolutely in a bad place. The world would be in a bad place.
The day either China or the US gets enough chip manufacturing capacity to cover its own national security needs, it’ll be in their best interest to start a war that destroys Taiwan. They’re on borrowed time.
The US won’t, not until it has enough domestic chip production capacity. It would be an outright war, there would be troops sent, there would not be this game of military aid.
Ukraine is not critical to the US interest, it’s important but not critical, Taiwan at the current time would cross a line.
Who is throwing Xylazine into the mix? A good reversal agent for Xylazine is Yohimbine, and I wonder if cops will start carrying it around since Xylazine is becoming a more popular drug in America. Consequently I wonder what the rising price of both drugs is going to do veterinary clinics across the country. This stuff isn’t cheap.
