    OK, now that it looks like @jon-nyc’s post turned the tide of opinions, let’s take a look at the opposing side. What are the reasons and motivations of the three reviewers and two FDA directors to have opposed approval? Any conflict of interest or ideological bias that we need to look into? What makes “notable pharmaceutical industry expert and commentator, Derek Lowe” admonish the approval? Does Derek Lowe know what he’s talking about? Do those three reviewers and two FDA directors know what they are doing? Is it good that FDA rules allow for a single director to override three reviewers and two other directors now?

    You don't have to have federalization, just full reciprocity.

    As it stands right now, public schools are kinda like the drunk sitting on the floor. When asked why he was sitting on the floor, the drunk slurred, "You can't fall off the floor".

    I can see the appeal of a 150cc. Those will do 45-55 mph and carry 340 pounds. And the Chinese ones are around $1000, new. Being Chinese, you're going to have to turn some wrenches, but nothing these guys aren't used to doing...

    @Axtremus Yes, but only because provincial governments fail to regulate the private post secondary education institutions that take advantage of the opportunity and the Federal government issues student visas without question for registered foreign students to attend those facilities. The majority of those “schools” are exclusive to foreign students and the alleged credentials are at best, dubious. Schemers, dreamers and thieves.

    There will probably be lots of fossil fuel products used to create and enact the ban.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Washington Post Shakeup: @Aqua-Letifer said in Washington Post Shakeup: @Jolly said in Washington Post Shakeup: @LuFins-Dad said in Washington Post Shakeup: @Jolly said in Washington Post Shakeup: May they lose many more That’s actually kinda backwards thinking. I would hope that as they start to go back towards the middle that they will regain some of their readership to encourage them to continue, and maybe motivate a few more outlets to come back to the middle. I said that because I don't think they're going back to the middle. I the newsrooms are so polluted by college-educated, nouveau jornalists, that the middle road is unobtainable. Jolly's right. It starts in the schools. Without revamping the schools the publications will never improve. They don't learn this nonsense on the job, they bring it with them because it's part of the interview process. Schools won’t change until the employers change. Uh, no, they won't. That's not where their money comes from.

    So literally every day for the last month I get an AIPAC funded flier telling me how bad Bowman is. Maybe twice a week I get a second flier from the actual Latimer campaign Todays AIPAC flier was funny. [image: 1719014593655-img_7722.jpeg] [image: 1719014604349-img_7723.jpeg] Before about a month ago I didn’t realize Bowman voted against the infrastructure bill. Now everyone in NY-17 knows.

    Putin the Tyrant. He doesn’t even rate the distinction of Ogre status awarded to Napoleon.
