Yeah but unemployment is on the rise lately, the newer numbers look worse than expected. Many in the finance world expect a quarter cut just because of that.
It’s a balancing game and economic indicators aren’t working as great as they used to… so it’s anyone’s guess.

Gee, what could have possibly clued Biden into the fact that Netenyahu was being disingenuous? Could it possibly have been the fact that after every time they spoke, Bibi would immediately go on-air in Israeli press and brag about what a little removed Biden is and how he’s completely in Bibi’s pocket? Could that have been a sign?!
This is all true, and concerning. I wonder how much of this is real concern for patient well-being, and how much is big pharma really wanting to hold onto the new cash cow?
Edit: counterfeit is a problem. What about generics from compounding pharmacies?
Compounding can be a ‘red flag’ in the industry. This not to say compounding is inherently bad. There are some very legitimate uses for it. However, if the pharmacy does a lot of compounding business (percentage-wise) it could trigger an audit. And you’re right that big pharma trying to crush the little guys is a big part of this, too. Some pharmacies will intentionally under-report the amount of compounding they do, because they know it can draw unwanted attention. Pharmacy is one of those messy complicated things where there are way too many middlemen and rent-seekers, which makes it more expensive for patients and harder for regulators to keep tabs on things. Thank goodness Lina Khan with the FTC is doing her best to throw some sunlight under these dark rocks.
Since the spinal infection a decade ago, these compounding pharmacies are operating under incredibly heavy regulation and have their operations very restricted and bifurcated between clean labs and standard labs. The testing requirements are both extreme and reasonable. I’m as comfortable ordering a compounded script as I am one from a traditional vendor these days.

The brazen appearance of white supremacist groups in Nashville left the city grappling with how to confront hateful speech without violating First Amendment protections.
The neo-Nazis poured into the historic Metro courthouse to disrupt a City Council meeting,
Arrest. Them. Holy shit, that’s something that in any reasonably sized city would be worth at least a night in jail to cool off, even if you were some fucking normie instead of a neonazi fuck. It’s not that fucking hard.
Arrest them for what exactly? Is disrupting a city council meeting anything but a civil infraction?
I don’t want this sort of thing going on, but what law would justify jail time?
I mean maybe they did do something to justify it, but I don’t know that disrupting a city council meeting should land people in jail. People also disrupt city council meetings when they try to pass anti-queer ordinances. And they should.
Arrest them for what exactly? Is disrupting a city council meeting anything but a civil infraction?
Criminal trespass, easy. Fuck, that’s levied all the time as a club against left-wing protesters. Yet when actual neonazis show up, they get nothing? Fuck that.
And neither does playing by the gentleman’s rules of boxing when your opponent is using brass knuckles. Fucking “They go low, we go high”? Did we not learn our lesson? If a weapon is used, the correct answer is to make the opposition see why that weapon was banned in the first place - it’s the same reason why many signatories of the Geneva Protocol allow for retaliation if chemical weapons are used against them.
It’s also not going to arrest Nazis that have already done these things. So how about we don’t arrest anyone for protesting and just make it legal from now on?

You’re fucking kidding me, right? You don’t pre-arrest people. You arrest people after they’ve done shit.
So how about we don’t arrest anyone for protesting and just make it legal from now on?
God, why didn’t we think of that brilliant solution before? How many left-wing lawyers and political organizations have simply overlooked that we can just make it legal to protest?
I see, this is one of these “never try” situations. We could never stop left-wing protesters from being arrested so we should never try to stop it and advocate for that to end and instead just call for other people to be arrested too.
Because we shouldn’t want people to have rights, we should want other people’s rights taken away.

No, it’s apparently one of those noble martyrdom things, where the correct response to getting brutalized by Nazis is to roll over and show how very moral you are by just passively taking it.
Because we shouldn’t want people to have rights, we should want other people’s rights taken away.
You do realize that this is already happening to left-wing protesters, right? The only thing you’re advocating for is that left-wing protesters get the full force of the state laid down on them while Nazis are allowed to roam free because “It wouldn’t be fair” to apply the same goddamn laws to them as long as those laws are on the books.
Vengeance is when you show why mutual disarmament is a good idea instead of showing that you won’t fight back, and the less you fight back, the less vengeful you are.
You do realize a society can do more than one thing at a time, right?
Like, demanding police chiefs to arrest Nazis under the same circumstances that they arrest left-wing protesters is not going to magically diminish the work of left-wing lawyers and politicians to redefine the rules so that protesters, in general, are not being arrested. Even application is kind of the point of laws, and not simply allowing but actually advocating that an unequal application of the law be perpetuated (because it wouldn’t be fair if the Nazis got the same treatment as left-wing protesters) is, itself, incredibly damaging to the legitimacy of the government as a whole.

Okay, but it won’t happen, so what’s the point of demanding it rather than just working to redefine those roles and working to elect politicians who will do so?
It reminds me of some vegans who go out and protest meat eating. That’s not going to stop people eating meat. Working on campaigns to convince people why they should stop eating meat is what should be concentrated on.
I do not see what demanding they be arrested accomplishes when you and I both know they won’t be.
Okay, but it won’t happen so what’s the point of demanding it
This you?
I see, this is one of these “never try” situations. We could never stop left-wing protesters from being arrested so we should never try to stop it and advocate for that to end
And furthermore, it’s a lot easier to get cops to arrest people than to get cops to not arrest people.
… yes. You were being sarcastic. Which is what makes that response contradict your current point.
You mock the idea that we should never try to stop something because “We could never stop it”, yet, then say, without any sarcasm or irony, “Okay, but it won’t happen so what’s the point of demanding it” on another issue.
I’m saying arresting Nazis won’t happen but changing the laws to make it so that protesters won’t get arrested at all is a possibility, especially on a regional or local level.
One relies on the cops cooperating. The other relies on just telling them they can’t even be there.
Yes. I think cops will not go places if they’re told they will be facing things like fines if they do. They like getting paid.
So there’s the power to coerce cops to follow the law, but not the power to coerce cops to do their job and ensure others are following the law. Do we have the power to make cops enforce any laws?
And I think it’s much easier to do that on a local level than telling them to go arrest the Nazis.
You think it’s easier to make cops respect people’s rights than it is to get them to arrest people they don’t give a fuck about.

Yes. It’s called money.

Because allowing these nazis to continue marching in the street will have zero impact on what happens to left-wing protestors, and denying these nazis the right to march on the streets will also have zero impact on what happens to left-wing protestors.
Yes, but I don’t see how that applies to this situation. The jack boots who arrest people for expressing their First Amendment rights aren’t going to stop just because some neo nazis were allowed to harass people on the streets via some left-wing action. They don’t care about fairness or our rights and many of them are probably sympathetic to extreme right-wing groups.
I can’t believe I have to keep explaining this… Cops do not do things if they are not paid. If you pass a law saying that cops will be fined for arresting protesters, they won’t arrest protesters. They may be right-wing, they may be thugs, but they don’t do things for free most of the time.
Is that really beyond the pale for a local municipality to pass such a law?
People don’t deserve equal rights under the law? Are you sure that’s the position you want to take up? Because it sounds like a very Republican position.
So you are saying that yes, the law should be applied unequally.
As I said, Republicans agree with that position. You and they are just at odds with who the same laws should help and who the same laws should oppress.
Free speech for me and not for thee has been one of their modus operandi for a long time now.
Did I even once mention US law? Did I say anything about prosecuting the NAZIs? Did I say anything – anything at all – about the government doing anything about them?
No. I said it is right and good to fuck them up.
Now quit being a goddamn apologist and deliberately trying to misrepresent my arguments.
Which means that people in the government can argue that virtually anything the government does is a “government function.” Mayor’s press conference? Government function. Better arrest those protesters. Governor’s mansion? It has public tours. That’s a government function. Better arrest those protestors.
Look what happened without that law when a president wanted a photo op with a Bible in front of a church. And you want to make that even easier?
But how do you make it clear that is the government function that can’t be disrupted but the press conference afterward can because it does not count as a government function?
Good point: the correct answer is, don’t treat them equally, because they don’t act equally. What we should be doing is exactly the opposite of what we are doing: fucking-up the NAZIs while leaving the left-wing protestors alone.
This is not hypocrisy, by the way. This is a simple application of consequences: those who do not respect the social contract do not deserve to be protected by it.
It may not be hypocrisy, but it is suggesting that the law continue to be applied unequally (just the opposite way around), which is definitely not a progressive position.
After seeing federal agents literally kidnapping people off the streets of Portland for “looking like protesters,” yes absolutely they can arrest them even if the charges are bullshit or won’t stick.
Both you and @FlyingSquid are arguing the same point. The only difference is @FlyingSquid wants nobody arrested and you want to also arrest the Nazis.
First of all ACAB let it be known. However I think it’s more likely to get a local city council to allow for anyone using intimidating imagery, (defined by swastika and similar iconography) to be detained and removed from chambers. It’s been done elsewhere with great effect.
The issue is how to get it enforced because unfortunately, those that burn crosses are the same that join forces.
TY! You'd think I couldn't use translation software. I like this phrase as it calls into question #45's upbringing, his parents, etc, and yet avoids using profanity.
