Obama might be an exception. The people elected Bernie Sanders, twice. Not Biden.

Pharmaceutical companies lied to doctors and patients about how addictive opioids are.

Every single opiod, from opium itself, to heroin, to morphine, etc. Has been promised to be non addictive. How many times can you believe the same lie before you hold some responsibility for the outcome?

Then, a series of studies concluded that many people are living with untreated chronic pain;

Which is still true. In fact, the reason for this is at least partly because of fear of addiction, so they too cautiously don't treat pain at all.

But no one wants to admit, not doctors nor pharmaceutical companies, that medicine doesn't have a viable solution to the most basic of medical problems.

Al Gore won the vote. Then his opponent's brother, Jeb Bush, governor of Florida suddenly found 'irregularities', threw out a ton of votes, and just merely coincidentally now his brother was declared winner? We're supposed to believe that? Maybe if his dad wasn't just president a decade earlier, that might be believable... maybe.

I think the problem is more that the constitution isn't being followed more than there being something wrong with the constitution itself. These people want to get rid of like 3 or more of the first 10 (bill of rights) amendments.

Step 1. Ensure government fails the people Step 2. Offer to dramatically change the government so that it's no longer considered failure, but everything else is the same. Fascist playbook.

Representation in general is a problem as well. The Electoral College presents a growing danger because it is increasingly unrepresentative. We’ve now had two elections in 16 years where the winner of the popular vote lost the election. The same happens with Congress, but more severe. Continued minority rule could cause chaos as the majority no long accepts rule by the minority.

The people haven't elected a president since Al Gore. And the last 4? Supreme Court justices were picked by the minority party, from a pool of about 3 dozen or so judges that are part of an openly hostile extremist group.

Considering the sophist university system and the centuries of materialist bigoted psychological pseudoscience, I'd be surprised if it was a system even capable of churning out a rational humanist therapist.

I just noticed the graphic "4 shape of river is permanently altered". Who wants to take bets that the only reason they care is because it affects some asshole's riverfront property?

Lol true. I would hope that wet wipes are not being used to wipe asses but I was referring to civil engineering: removing solids from wastewater is possible. It says more about UK civil engineers than it does about careless citizens.

Literally the same as what caused the two 737 MAX crashes and why the law was written in the first place.

There’s no denying that adding these changes would be costly and time consuming, and would complicate 737 MAX operations. So I’d almost feel sorry for Boeing, except for the fact that Boeing lost so much credibility after everything that was uncovered following two 737 MAX crashes. It’s Boeing’s very behavior that’s causing the increased scrutiny around aircraft certification.

Put simply, they want to keep using a loophole that exempts new safety regulations when utilizing an old design. This loophole was specifically closed because of Boeing, and this very same aircraft series, and they want to keep using it. Simply because it ruins their marketing that pilots won't have to be retrained. Peak capitalism right here.
