Either way, that is a pretty massive digression from the article, which is about medications. Apparently more people are dying on average from recently approved drugs than are dying from all illegal drug use combined. And the examples are not for extremely rare medications

“We need an agency that’s independent from the industry it regulates and that uses high-quality science to assess the safety and efficacy of new drugs,”… “Without that, we might as well go back to the days of snake oil and patent medicines.”

We basically are already there now, it seems

Its obviously a digression from the main point of your comment, but that isnt what critical race theory means.

The existence of structural racism is just a political-sociological fact. Critical race theory is specifically a field of legal study that examines structural racism within the legal system exclusively. The “theory” aspect comes from the more debatable points of to what extent explicit racism in the law that has since been rectified (by civil rights laws or whatever else) still impacts the modern legal system.

Technically I suppose you could say any recognition of structural racism is still critical, and it would be called critical social inquiry in any capacity, if youre talking from an academic perspective. But the main point is that admitting structural racism exists =/= “critical race theory”

Idk why people are downvoting you when its clear as day that El Salvador is playing this administration like a fiddle.

Get paid to take people in, knowing its against our laws. Wait until our courts point out its illegal. Then refuse to return your new golden goose bargaining chip until you get handed everything you want on a silver platter.

Considering this is the most two faced administration in history, theyve set themselves up a lot better than even most of our traditional allies have as far as negotiations go

Im impartial to the blue footed booby myself. Those are some good lookin boobies

Sadly, when it comes to health code violations, this is par for the course (no pun intended). Most health code violations, even when severe, are looked past so long as the business “takes steps to rectify the issue”.

So for example, lets say you have a rat infestation so bad it presents a public health risk. If you hire a pest controller or put out some traps, then the health department will let it go. Even if the steps you take never actually solve the problem. Attempting to solve the problem is considered satisfactory, even if the problem continues to exist and present a threat.

Only in cases of the most extreme gross negligence have I ever seen any place shut down completely and forced to stop business operations until they turn it around. Sadly, 33%/100% on an assessment is probably not in “shut it down now” territory. Although I think everyone agrees that should be bad enough to shut something down, our health departments are kind of like the TSA of protecting you from foodborne illness and other dangers. They dont really stop things themselves so much as their existence tends to scare people into self-regulated compliance

E: I just checked to see what the actual violations were:

Among the violations at the Bedminster club were failing “all three requirements in the ‘food protected from contamination’ category, with violations including expired milk, raw meat stored improperly and a dishwasher that may not reach the required temperature,” noted the report. “The inspector also cited four separate hand-washing violations, including sinks without soap or paper towels, one lacking a required sign and another used to store a sanitizer bucket.”

I hate to burst anyones’ bubble, but these are things likely occurring at basically every place you have eaten at in the past year. Despite being the most basic compliance issues in food service. No one cares and the health department wont shut anyone down for these violations so long as they fix it now. Then they will go back to doing whatever in a month

Read a transcript of the debate and its clear he isnt “senile”. Hes old as fuck and took a while to make his point. Like any 75+ year old person naturally does. Virtually every point he made was perfectly cogent, especially by comparison to the rambling delusions of Mango Unchained

Its hard to account for conscripts and mercenaries from other countries like NK. But if 250k actual Russian soldiers have died then that is literally a quarter of the personnel they had at the start of the war

Thank god Dacos arent an immensely popular food item

Kelly Walters, neuroscientist and professor of psychiatry, has spent decades studying the brains of serial killers, sociopaths, and men with personalities built around protein supplements.

“We expected we may find answers for the lack of moral development in the prefrontal cortex but we were shocked to find anomalies that go far beyond the brain,” said Walters. “We gave full body MRIs to a large number of ICE agents and discovered that inside their chest cavity, where we would see a heart in an ordinary person, is actually just a screaming void. You could actually hear it through the image which was really quite astounding.”

PSA for anyone who doesnt know: there is no such thing as a flushable wipe. “Flushable” is a marketing lie. Dont flush any wipes!

Good on them abandoning the dreadful culinary influence of the Brits. A culture so captivated by spices, but one that never thought to get high on their own supply. No no, just keep boiling things
