pharmaceutical companies probably made some lucrative deals with Trump to be pro vaccine. This guy learned from first hand why he should not suck up to a guy who worships money and power
I was thinking about this the other day - dimbulbs like ronnie desatan outlawed clean meat in his state - as did Alabama - meanwhile, one of their own apparently eats actual roadkill and had a brain worm?
Cannot make this stuff up. The right wing is just so unhinged. Every time I see one of them doing something dumber and dumber, including to themselves, I think of the state of America in the book Rapture of the Nerds. It was supposed to be parody, but.....
This is legit the best political news this week by a wide margin. It’s still gonna fucking suck but at least we won’t have to worry about fucking polio on top of it
Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn't much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.
Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling...so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about "too much government" in their lives because they were getting money...
It's definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).
Unless it has anything to do with making rich people richer, racism, or women... And u can be damned sure it will happen... And we all know it's not for the better
Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell "fuck your feelings" at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: "fuck your feelings, libs!"
So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the "right" people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids' teeth were falling out as a consequence.
As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.
You don't really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.
US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.
The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the "normal" people without great wealth or connections.
I would love nothing more than for this to be true and to hit that one RFK fan we have on lemmy with it, but the article doesn't really give much evidence to support the title.
Nah, that's not gonna happen. Mush want's to hang out with the cool kids oligarchs and will always be willing to lick the boots to be accepted. It's kinda like Beavis and Butt-head's worship of Todd, no matter how much contempt and abuse he heaps upon them it just makes Todd cooler in their eyes.
Must wanted Trump elected so he could make his self driving systems road legal for robotaxis. He's hoping to get all that money back and then some. If he gets what he wants, he'll be most of the way towards being a trillionaire.
But Trump is not a man who pays his debts and I'm here for the inevitable betrayal.
I'm kind of surprised because Tesla and Trumpnis pro coal and gas. Is Elon eating his own face? Or is he willing to cannibalize Tesla because he has government contracts and Trump will probably hand him any government contract he wants?
Musk has most of his wealth in Tesla stock. That will skyrocket if his substandard self-driving tech is allowed to be used in unattended autonomous taxis.
Instead of selling cars, he'll sell a service. Instead of selling a car costing $40,000, each car will make that in a few months.
Well I got to say I'm relieved that he's backstabbing the right people... So far. Well honestly anybody they'd be counted as backstabbing I wouldn't mind.
The advisors are what makes this time different from last time. This time, they have a plan. Turnip loves when other people come up with plans, because he can't.
Turnip loves when other people come up with plans, because he can't can just ignore it and do what he wants anyway
That's like the one silver lining I'm seeing out of this whole situation, is that Trump can't stick to a plan if his literal life and freedom depend on it. We saw that in action in the E. Jean Carroll defamation suit. It doesn't matter how well the plans are laid by his mice and men, he's not going to read them. And if we're lucky that by itself will be enough to prevent a total enactment of P2025.
