I saw him in concert about 8 years ago, and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. RIP, Tony. Your music has brought me much joy throughout the years.
Good. I have grown tired of the brainwashed reformed criminal that spends all his time being overly aggressive about religion and downright hateful with it.
The federal government needs to go in and force the legislature to uphold its obligation the the rest of these United States. As Tom cotton once said: “send in the troops”
I sure didn’t: I’d been a loyal customer since the DVD days but this was the final straw. I cancelled as soon as it was announced and will not ever be renewing. Netflix jumped the shark and is dead to me.
I hate subscriptions. Too damn easy to forget about. I’ve started subscribing for the shortest period possible and immediately canceling. Sometimes I’ll renew, but generally I just try to get as much as I can out of it in a short period then let it expire
Mr. Frey, a Democrat, acknowledged that some residents might oppose any loosened enforcement of drug laws. But he said he hoped the measure would contribute to a national rethinking of drug laws that date back to the Nixon era, and draw attention to the role plant-based psychedelics can play for people dealing with depression, trauma and addiction.
Was the video not in the article? I skimmed and watched that top one but saw it nowhere?
Does anyone have it? Depending on how the person comes across in the moment it occurred the shock impact of these events is often useful at getting through to people.
Great article... Pharmaceuticals is interesting since the needs of corporations functioning under capitalism and their customers disconnect a lot
Making effective drugs is mad expensive (billions of USD), so companies are strongly incentivized to squeeze as much profit as possible everywhere on top of the already bad enough corporate greed levels
Thanks to patents, new drugs are almost always monopolies, so the pharma who makes the drug can charge (almost) as much as they want and make a lot
Whereas making drugs without patents is not profitable as the article suggested... so these are done mostly by factories based in India and other not fully developed countries
Funnily enough most ppl need cheaper generic drugs, not the ones most pharma companies are innovating and will make mad profits from
And for the people mentioned above, pharmaceuticals are basically a need not a luxury, but somehow it's dependent on the ebbs and flows of free market capitalism
My unhinged opinion is... Most of the pharmaceuticals research are done by (mostly) publicly-funded research labs anyways... so might as well just let the government do something about this? I wouldn't be surprised if some folks in academia wouldn't mind moonlighting as CEO at a nonprofit drug manufacturer or sth
I’m torn on this, on one hand it completely makes sense and will definitely help those from a lower income. On the other hand, California has a huge problem with petty theft and this doesn’t apply to all forms of assault which means more criminals will just be released. The bail system is B.S. but California should be doing more than just this. Maybe someone with more background knowledge on California can help educate me as to why this will be a net positive.
