>While I absolutely approve of this, I’m constantly amazed at how far we’re (and mainly the US) is willing to go for ridiculously small percentages of the population. Parkinson’s is estimated to be about 1% of the US, but now every pharmacy in the country needs to buy and stock these bottles?
Where did it say anyone has to stock these bottles? The article describes people who are 3D printing them: "Because of this thousands of people responded to Brian’s post and are now printing the bottle."

- whatshisface 5y agoAre there any other instances of similar TikTok memes turning in to US federal legislation? There are plenty of bad regulations on the books but I don't see any reason to look at an article about a clever 3D printed device and immediately jump to the idea that it will somehow get added to the ADA.
