Politicians ranging from conservatives such as DeSantis to liberals such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont have long pushed for importing lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada.
if both sides want cheaper drugs why not work together to make that happen by regulating big pharma and pushing for things like universal healthcare
fact that they don’t just proves where their paychecks come from

two have always went hand in hand
US has already stopped investing in technology education (even people as young as 20 years old that walk in the shop here show no indication of technology education)
Democracy does die in darkness in part due to loss of progress in technology
66·4 days agoafter all other options are exhausted civil disobedience is the only thing left
examples would include handing about abortion pills in illegal states
legal standing is lots of money
lots of denial, nicotine, and THC
not a fix but will definitely smooth some of the rough edges out a tiny bit
if all else fails my grandfather says to run in circles screaming and shouting
then welcome to 1930s Germany
if enough people such as doctors go against a regime it falls but if enough people get scared enough the regime stands tall
when a country gets to the point the US is now the only people left defending democracy are people like these doctors who on the front line
time to nut up or shut up
this is where democracy’s final gasps happen before the death knell not at the poles or kangaroo courts or on some pulpit
when the only thing standing between freedom are a person’s ability to act or not the choice should be clear
fuck the jackboots and do the job that took oath for or relinquish your position to shine boots so someone who does have the courage to hold the line can
kangaroo courts are obviously not going to help
it is on the trained professionals to take over and just do their fucking job at this point
US added disabled people to the list a long time ago
only people the US authorities do not want in prison are Blue and Red MAGAs who don’t mind playing ball
Course not you put them in the US Justice System where corporations can then exploit their incarceration with free labor
This election as did the ones previously do not represent the US
Not just because of non voters but also the people unable to vote me being one of these due to bipartisan efforts to keep certain people from participating in democracy
Now on to the ones who did vote - did you consider the bipartisan efforts through the decades to up the pollution, downgrade education standards, keeping poverty ramped up through policies such as a minimum wage that is extremely below living wages, over funding police, etcetera that add up to the under informed populace that did vote
US elections are just more bread and circuses with no meat just some sorry looking past the expiration date potatoes
Bell said she does not blame her doctors at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Rather, she blames the law itself.
it is on the doctor’s to either take the risk or quit
people have to step up for change to happen
51·12 days agoHow many more people would have voted Democrat if Harris would have lurched left instead of right the moment she had that first momentum/steam?
If she would have screamed just support for things like living wages this election would have gone 100% different
The Democrats intentional looking piss poor election performance is evidence of the system being rigged
Obvious from the get a Trump win was going to happen and was so by design
Otherwise the Democrats would have fought harder instead of blatantly pissing away every advantage and opportunity that could have guaranteed a landslide victory
but that would make a less malleable population that is harder to contain and control
