Unless of course you enjoy living under this fascist regime.
If we abandon the rules because its convenient for us, even if we win, we’d be living under a fascist regime. The only difference would be it would be one of our own making instead of someone else’s.
who the fuck thinks having vance on your side is some kind of flex?
The Vice President is the one that needs to enact the 25th amendment (along with members of the cabinet). Its not so much of wanting Vance, but wanting the Vice President. If the Vice President was a ham sandwich, I’d be looking for the sandwich’s vote to enact the 25th amendment.
People crave certainty.
I think its slightly different I’d say its closer to: People crave simplicity.
That can frequently mean certain answers, but even if the answers aren’t certain, but simple, they accept it. This is the root of most conspiracy theories. It is much simpler to accept that a global cabal is specifically trying to convince people the Earth is flat rather than accept that we live on the surface of a very large round planet, that “down” doesn’t always mean down, and that gravity exists to prevent people on the “bottom” of Earth don’t simply fall off into space.
True, but that was for cost savings, not generally because it required doing so to get the life saving care not legal in the USA. The exception to this was in the years before Roe v Wade where Americans would “vacation aboard” to get a safe abortion.
I agree they have. I’ve been through them too and its scary to see what is becoming of our nation.
Arrested for seeking treatment for gender care? I’ll need to see a citation on that. Lets not unnecessarily scare off people that need the treatment from seeking it here in this thread.
I misread your post. You weren’t saying it is happening, but that it might soon.
I don’t disagree it might happen soon. Until then, I want the folks that need this healthcare to be able to get it until more bold options are needed.
Windsor Ontario is a not a long drive away from most places in Ohio. I would recommend Blair’s mom start a relationship with doctors there for her child’s continued health and well being with ongoing treatment.
I can’t believe I’m recommending Americans leave the country to get better healthcare abroad in 2026.
The article is mostly about the difficulties of government run public health systems in smaller countries being strained under the costs of the most expensive medicine on the market (pembrolizumab).
I got curious as to why the medicine was so expensive. Its a deep rabbit hole. In short, some of the high expense is justified because not only was it crazy expensive to develop and test, but even after that production is not easy. Its a monoclonal antibody product.
The good news is the primary patents expire in Europe in 2028, and there are already five companies working “biosimilars” .
There’s absolutely some predatory behavior from the drug maker Merck. This includes trying to reformulate to extend patent protection. A new behavior I hadn’t heard of was Merck has patented the dosage instructions of what is effective so to access that information you’d have to ask Merck for each patient. One clinical trial in India found they got similar pretty good patient outcomes by using a 2mg does instead of the perscribed 200mg dose.
So all of this suggests much more cost effective ways to create and administer the treatment in the next couple of years.
“United 172 heavy, you are cleared for takeoff on runway 2 left…bitch”
So… if he if he is a US citizen. Doesn’t that mean Mexico could deport him right back? 🤔
If he goes to the USA border from Mexico and is denied entry into the USA when he is a USA citizen, that’s the whole ballgame. Then citizenship means nothing.
Not that I give trump credit for any kind of forward thinking, but could this plan been made by someone smarter than him to bulldoze the current bunker so that he could claim that taxpayers need to build a bunker at MaraLago?
“This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue,”
Yes, its overdue. I support the aim of the EFF mission and also financially, and knowing that some of that goes to supporting the musk platform has always rubbed me wrong.
Under changes in the tax law, private jet buyers can deduct the full cost of the aircraft from their taxes in the year it is purchased if it is used at least half of the time for business.
So if you buy the jet in December and take a single business trip (and no personal trips), you would have 100% of the jet flights for business in the year you purchased the jet? It looks like you would then get a tax deductible jet for whatever use you want going forward?
“We, along with the whole industry, definitely saw a pretty significant uptick in demand in the back half last year, which we’re attributing to the 100% bonus depreciation,” Shevlin said. “We expect the same thing to happen at the end of this year.”
This looks like it confirms my suspicion.
Sure, that the standard for well maintained enterprises. Unfortunately very little of the IT world is a well maintained enterprise. The job that executes the cert renewal goes offline because of a cred rotation, or a maintenance window that ran too long, or the connectivity was cut, or the server was brought down because no one thought it was used anymore.
Are these events recoverable? Absolutely, but when one of these bad events happen in a 12 month period the SSL cert is still valid until the 12 month renewal date. Now with max cert life falling to 47 days you’re loading the revolver with more chances for these to happen resulting in an expired cert.
The best name I’ve heard for the 2000s is “the noughties”, as in the plural of nought, zero.
No, but Vance is trying to paint himself as doing the right thing in this article.
consistancy in the law is a pretty basic thing to ask for, considering we are “all” meant to follow it.
You’re moving the goalposts a bit. The law is consistent in this example. One this is deemed illegal the other thing deemed is legal. I agree with you about why those laws are chosen to exist is certainly open to debate. Are you instead arguing the laws in your example are ambiguous?
Those certificate warnings are big, in your face, and yet people click through them without reading.
This is only going to get worse with SSL cert max life shrinking to only 47 days by 2029. We’re going to see expired certs all over the place all the time and its just going to train users to click through anyway ignoring the warnings.
Pointing out that legally, guns are OK doesn’t contradict my point, it furthers it.
Does it? I’m not sure I’m following what your point is.
our society treats the things very differently for arbitrary cultural bullshit.
Well, yeah. That’s just how different groups of humans consider things that can be dangerous. You can go to any hardware store and by arsenic as rat poison. You can go to any drug store and buy eye drops. Both are lethal to humans when ingested yet both are easily accessible without any licensing or age restrictions.
Most countries also consider alcohol (ethyl alcohol) legal to purchase by adults (but definition of adult varies depending on the group of humans). Many would rightfully argue alcohol is more dangerous than some illegal narcotics.
If you’re looking for consistency in human behavior across society I’m not sure you’d going to find it very often.
Brown’s logic:
“Your honor, my client, before wrestling Mr Smith to the ground, putting a gun to his face, and then pulling the trigger, heard no verbal statement from Mr Smith saying ‘Do not kill me’. In light of this you must drop these murder charges and let my client go free.” /s
