Good Deed Punished
Dec. 31st, 2020 06:01 amWhen the onset of the pandemic led to a massive increase in demand for hand sanitizer this spring, many distilleries stepped up to alleviate the sudden shortage. Now the FDA has declared hand sanitizer an “over-the-counter drug” and is charging the companies a fee based on that. [Reason; CW: libertarian cooties]

Nov. 29th, 2019 08:11 amThe Ohio legislature has passed a bill demanding that doctors attempt to reimplant ectopic pregnancies or face murder charges.

The free exchange of information
Nov. 23rd, 2017 07:08 amThe state of Georgia doesn’t want you to see its laws and court decisions unless you pay. The Science-Industrial Complex doesn’t want you to see the scientific work on SciHub unless you pay. Copyright is supposed to increase learning.
Thanx to Slate Star Codex, which notes, "It sure would be bad if this kind of lawsuit led to a Streisand effect that made even more people aware that sci-hub exists and is a website with almost all academic papers on it available unpaywalled for free."

Jun. 4th, 2017 05:18 amI don’t have numbers on this, but it seems that the more criminal an administration is, the more it cracks down on sexndope. The Trump Mob is trying to bring back the worst of the War on Some Drugs, and now we are going to be protected from teen sexting,
