NoneYa , in Canada vows to defend its drug supply against Florida importation plan

Drug makers in the US also intend to fight the plans. Stephen Ubl, CEO of the powerful trade group PhRMA—Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America—said in a statement that the group is "deeply concerned with the FDA’s reckless decision to approve Florida’s state importation plan" and claimed importation "poses a serious danger to public health." Ubl concluded that "PhRMA is considering all options for preventing this policy from harming patients."

Sure, that’s the concern here, Big Pharma lol…not harming your wallet by getting undercut by cheaper competition. Likely by the same exact drug they sell over the border elsewhere but overcharge Americans on.

zifnab25 , in Kleptocrats in democracy’s clothing: Beijing and Moscow talk anti-corruption at the UN

Its curious to see the Chinese government called out for being insufficiently dedicated to anti-corruption measures while doggedly insisting that the myriad prosecutions of corrupt officials within both the Chinese public and private sector are these horrible infringements on civil rights. We've got Chinese ex-pats who fled to the US and went right back to committing crimes as soon as they arrived. Billions of dollars defrauded from Americans because the US was intent on protecting known malicious actors that the Chinese government had planned to prosecute.

Like, Russia? Fine, sure. Whatever. That place has been a dumpster fire since at least Yeltsin. But at some point, western media isn't denouncing fraud. It is implicitly covering for these crooks under the "China Bad" banner head.

I'm sure killing 2 dozen random civilians will dissuade Russia and help with asking for a decent surrender agreement.

dangblingus , in Outrage in Iran after woman whipped for refusing to wear hijab

Huh. Turns out wanting a theocracy in your country because you were tired of royalty was even worse for everyone.

Reddit_Is_Trash , in Outrage in Iran after woman whipped for refusing to wear hijab

Fuck their religion. And they wonder why the US wants to spread western values.

Their values have no place in this world. None. It's not "culture" it's exerting control over other people who have no recourse. It's an invalid way to live

A Palestinian toddler was killed by mistake after Israeli police opened fire at a pair of suspected attackers at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank.

Where are everyone's pitchforks? Where are all the pro-lifers crying foal?

Nomecks , in Alaska Airlines grounds 737 Max 9 planes after section blows out mid-air

It's almost like building mission critical equipment with nothing but pure profit as a motive isn't a good idea.

guyrocket , in Police Union Defends Forfeiture By Saying Anyone Carrying A Bunch Of Cash Is Probably A Criminal

I don't know how or why asset forfiture was ever allowed, moral, or legal but it should have been outlawed a very long time ago.

Legalized thievery is worse than actual theft. It is corrupt and morally bankrupt.

Trying to land on the sun sounds like a GREAT way to spend the money that you could be using to fix the social ills in your country.
Way to go India!!!

threelonmusketeers , in Australia wants to force cats to stay inside or give them a curfew because they are murdering so many other animals they are a threat to the country's biodiversity

Both domesticated and feral cats — like the one pictured above in New York — pose a threat to Australia's biodiversity, experts say.

I know what they meant by this, but I still find it amusing that a cat in New York could pose a threat to Australia's biodiversity.
