I don’t think thought property laws help Nestle at all.

How is Nestle a monopoly?

Well it is true, many drug addicts are dependent on prescription pain killers. Which other people will intentionally get prescribed so they can sell. Y’know, the whole opioid crisis thing.

I think because I was a young male basically was her basis

Intellectual property law is a form of regulation

Like Mozilla, the parent company is not-for-profit with for-profit subsidiaries

I had an ear infection, the doctor thought I was lying for pain killers(she said people my age shouldn’t get ear infections, and I could’ve just used a hairdryer), I told her no the pain is fine I just want antibiotics so it doesn’t get worse. She then decided to prescribe codeine and oral antiobiotics but not ear drops.

When I went to the pharmacist they filled the codeine prescription even though I didn’t want it.

The real thing is many regular preventative checks are a huge money maker for physicians while not actually being that effective for patient outcomes. IIRC its been argued prostate exams are an example of this. IMO, routine removal of wisdom teeth is another, and routine circumcision is an obvious one.

They decide what they pay for, it is factually true that doctors will treat so they get paid more, this is especially a concern in private practice.

This is a genuine concern with over regulation of any industry. If they can just say they were following the regulation, which inevitably will lack in some areas, then that is a strong defense for them.

Nor the doctors themselves (well most are innocent, but there are a few who lobby with the AMA to help keep prices high so they keep getting paid)

Kaiser Permanente to an extent, same with BCBS- though they also have a lot of for-profit affiliates. There are also a fair number of local non-profit insurers

I agree there needs to be a culture change. But on a global scale, the US is basically one of the leading countries in mental healthcare. Which, kinda shows a lot of isn’t evidence based

(although github eventually somewhat complied unfortunately)

I do, just like how VPN companies, Github, etc do

Removed by mod

We remove comments celebrating the killing of anyone.

I’m more alarmed when a government does it, but regardless, yea his motive might not actually be what he claims, it doesn’t really matter though since censorship is still bad

You know that Twitter isn’t banned in Turkiye and India because they complied with their requests for censure,

Yes, and I oppose that.

since you know, those are right wing governments run by strong men

Could be, could be he got fed up with it, idk.

Funny how free speech becomes the issue just when the requests come from governments whose ideology don’t align with this particular clown’s.

Um, no? Free speech was an issue then too. Someone can do good things and bad things. Censoring is bad, refusing to censor even if its just in one case is good.

you’re banned if you correctly call someone cis gendered.

Yes that’s bad

I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, censorship is bad, its bad when Musk does it, and its really bad when a government does it. Because governments can shoot you and throw you in jail for not complying.

Well, from what I understand when X appoints a legal representative they will then be held responsible for refusing to ban. Is that wrong?
