People are nuts. They are anti-vax and pro Trump. They don't realize that their cult leader Trump was first in line to get vaxxed against a virus that he said would disappear. People are so gullible. They also think a thrice bankrupt businessman is a great choice to run our countries economy. I officially think some people are literally idiot robots.

Ironically, I sat an listened to and sided with conservatives who have been for decades been b!tching that it takes too long to get drugs thru the approval process, then we finally fast track something (that needs to be fast tracked) and they're raising a stink about that.

Liberals said the same thing. The entire argument for Obamacare was to reign in prescription drug companies and insurance. The language was just different but the accusations were almost the same. The trial period was also 10 years then, not 5 I believe, for life saving medications, not just vaccines. I’m right in the middle on this issue I guess. I still don’t trust big pharma or big insurance, but the drugs they make do save lives. I’d like to see all those billionaires go down in flames, but the reality is that people would die if a system like that is brought down. I dunno. I still don’t trust that big pharma is only concerned with our health. im not saying the Covid vax is doing anything, but there is a history of keeping harmful drugs on the market until they recover a profit. That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s documented history. I just don’t trust them still. If that means I have to turn in my liberal political label, so be it.

Darvocet was on the market for 50 years. They knew it caused heart issues but didn’t pull it until 2010

What is the business (Big Pharma's) goal? To make a profit. In order to make a profit they must make medications that work. If they don't work, they can't sell them and make that profit. When is the exception? When the government mandates the medication. Then you don't have to worry if it works. You have been given immunity from prosecution. You've made your profit.

Agreed. I'd reign these a$$holes in by socializing the system like the rest of the world who pays less for better care.

Will big pharma screw us, absolutely. OTOH, bad drugs getting on the market are the exception not the rule.

Biden is actually being pretty staunch at the border. Much stauncher than expected.

So the Monterey shooter turns out be Asian. I guess the Asian community will have to pick up that "Asian Hate" card they played.

Where did you gather that opinion? Even democrat mayors of border towns are complaining that the border is a problem. Joe got to see El Paso after they cleared the immigrants sleeping in the streets so he could do a photo op. What a joke. The satellite border patrol check points are all closed because they had to pull all border patrol agents down to help with the massive amount of border crossings. I’m for a more open border personally, but this is a shit show down here.

Russians kinda don’t like anyone, especially if it’s a capitalist country. They think capitalism is immoral and the height of evil. That probably does come with an element of racism when you believe that everyone except a Russian communist is an immoral devil.

Arrests and expulsions are up. Title 42 staying in place. Unfortunately a lot people came because they (mainly conservative infotainment outlets) were advertising that the border is open.

Border Patrol reports record-breaking migrant arrests this year

The historic pace of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has fueled Republicans’ focus on the crisis, but despite the efforts of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, encounters in Texas have increased.

U.S. ramps up immigration arrests mostly at Mexican border

Immigration arrests nearly doubled in 2022 compared to 2021 as border authorities apprehended more migrants and courts blocked efforts by U.S. President Joe Biden to more narrowly target detentions to focus on serious criminals.
