This story has so many twists. I just bought some today to raise the middle finger after I noticed politicians batting for the hedge funds. I was confident I would lose it all, but now I am actually thinking this will go to court and I cou

That’s selective quoting. The study states in the abstract the top selling drugs saw price increases. Here is the full abstract. > The results show that the average annual price of top-selling cancer drugs in 2006, adjusted for inflation

Obamacare actually increases the cost of drugs. Here is a study showing the comparison adjusted for inflation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28224469/

I deleted all my social media accounts years ago because social media made me anxious. I can’t imagine the pain kids must be since they feel forced to participate in order to “socially” exist.

Your argument is based on a perception of America favoring right extremist ideology. Meanwhile for every popular extreme ideology on the right there is a counter extreme on the left ideology. We have people advocating for extreme capitalism

It isn’t an insult, I was pointing out the tribalistic attitude the modern left takes towards individuals who won’t consider themselves leftist. You know nothing of my policy preferences or whom I voted for, yet because I said I consider my

I don’t agree with you, but you sound like a textbook example of the modern left.

Social media is absolutely seeding these behaviors by leaving content discovery to engagement algorithms that push individuals further down a specific ideology without considering any ethical factors. For example, I consider myself a centri

A NIMBY individual is a NIMBY individual regardless of party affiliation. Also, there is so much land in the USA that if people want to live in solitude outside the cities, they should be free to do so, there is no reason to stigmatize thes

You are right, it was wrong of me to assert he handed the laptop while intoxicated. Perhaps what I should have said is that given his recent history of addiction, his competence when handling important materials is in question. Also, the la

Hunter has suffered through documented periods of crack addiction and it was during one of these episodes that he lost the laptop.

by DevKoala 6y ago
It was actually Hunter’s business partner Bobulinsky that went on Fox News to claim that he was working for Biden, and first met him during a scheduled time that has been redacted from Biden’s public calendar. No mainstream press with acces

Seriously, these concerns shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but today everything is just so tribalistic. We are laying the floor for potential bad actors to remain unchallenged.

The laptop was given to the FBI first and then someone from the FBI leaked it to Giuliani after the investigation was not moving. Once it became public a senate committee verified the validity of the evidence and the investigation made it t

What are you talking about? The story was worth reporting and it wasn’t until the election was over and verified that major news sources decided to push it to the public. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politic

How is this relevant? Poitras is highlighting that an informant was not protected accordingly, and that the Intercept is no longer a trustworthy resource.

IIRC that was Snowden’s claim too and he worked on it (I don’t have an exact text quote since this is from the Citizenfour doc), and the claim is that the data can be requested as long as the individual is suspected, which can be for someth

Glenn Greenwald never disappoints me. He is spot on once again. For years all of these conspiracy theories, calls for violence and allegations of fraud make it to the front page of Twitter/Facebook/YouTube for any user that shows

You cannot deny the “quiet” part that made it to the front of HN is a bit ironic. I believe her donations are an admirable action, but I have heard about this from every source of news I visit.

Regardless of semantics, I think my comment was too pessimistic and you are correct.
