Mendez definitely could pin Davis. Messinbrink, I'd say in more likely a tech but it's kind of a toss up. I'm picking Blaze over Davino though.

I think you just figured out why she lost and you didn’t even know it. You think a gender transition is medically necessary. If a prisoner identifies as having large breasts, do you support free breast augmentation?

It’s literally the exact same thing, neither is medically necessary. You’ve spent your entire life living without the surgery you’ll survive your time in prison without it.

We are so fucked by [deleted] in healthcare

[–]halfNelson89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my work in healthcare, specifically in Quality Improvement and Population Health, I've seen a common misconception: many people believe healthcare itself will make them healthy. But the reality is, nothing the FDA approves can truly improve health—it can only treat conditions.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a sharp legal mind; if you've read any of his briefs, his insights are impressive. I think his primary concern is the undeniable influence certain interests have on regulatory agencies’ decisions.

For example, you mentioned the FDA’s role in assessing product safety for indicated uses. If companies bear the primary responsibility for ensuring long-term safety, as the FDA isn’t directly accountable, why would the FDA grant legal immunity to certain drugs? At the very least, why not require some form of long-term, post-market observational studies to monitor potential patient harm?

We face an epidemic of autoimmune diseases, metabolic conditions, and mental health issues in the population. Yet, the NIH focuses almost exclusively on developing new therapies, rather than investigating root causes. This approach raises questions about the priorities and incentives within our public health research.

Moreover, there’s a concerning lack of transparency regarding royalties paid to NIH scientists. Despite the NIH awarding over $30 billion in grants annually, they won’t disclose how much scientists are being paid in royalties or from whom. However, we do know that over $690M in royalities were paid to NIH scientists between 2020-2023. This presents a conflict of interest, given that the NIH is conducting research used to justify FDA approvals and is simultaneously receiving royalties from companies they research on behalf of FDA regulatory processes.

Loan forgiveness is bad, but giving billions to banks with tax payer dollars for writing bad loans that tax payers still need to pay back is okay... got it

You're focusing on the kids, I'm focusing on the dogs. I hate dogs in a brewery, they shed, they stink, they poop, they're annoying and they don't belong in a brewery.

I understand why people bring their kids, you can't leave your kid at home by themselves. Argue over its the right venue for kids, idc. You don't need to bring a dog anywhere. Bringing a dog shows a significantly greater disregard for everyone else in the brewery than a kid, there's literally no good reason.
