> That includes taking products off the market while investigating unknown health issues.
When you shut down a market or product it does not go away. It comes back in force on the black market. Shutting down the market that is legal and had safety processes, in favor of an issue from the black market, it really is backwards thinking but I'd expect that from an authoritarian prohibitionist.
You are helping the mafias/cartels of the black market and the big fish over a legal market that was working. Own it.
Again, so many bots and propaganda out about this downvoting on topic points.
This is just build up to the Executive Order coming from Trump based on how it plays with their base. [1][2]
I wonder if moderation at HN will stop these new bot brigades or not... These are not HN users but propagandists in HN and it is slowly getting worse, it will probably kill HN into the election.
The startups and small/medium businesses that run the legal market, and do have safety measures, should not be the target and banning or prohibition only helps the bigs and the mafias/cartels.
