According to Wikipedia:

The drugs used to execute prisoners are produced domestically

Thanks for the link!

I somewhat assumed (mock me if you want, it’s probably deserved) that it’s hard to make the barbiturate that’s used. Nope, just another case of America being so hollowed out and financialized it chooses not to mix some chemicals and make the one they need.

Some of these are head scratchers,but it is good that environmental crimes are on the list at least.

Yep pentobarbital is dirt cheap

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Dirt cheap and a nationwide shortage. Amazing system

[-] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

There are 97.5 grams of pentobarbital in this that they use on pets. That’s about $1.35/gram

Meanwhile they are charging the government $1500/gram for the same drug

Genius system we got

Arizona is switching to Zyklon B so they got the shortage under control

Working as intended so they can charge the government 10000x it’s worth. Of course only the people who donate a chunk of that money to politicians campaigns will be selected to make and sell it 😎

They’re also dirt cheap but the only companies authorized to make them charge the government out the wazoo

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
