If you don’t feel disgusted by this enough: the Biden regime shut down the insulin price cap faster than it shut down this program.
The article says Biden shut it down in Spring 2021. Turns out your comment is completely wrong -- Biden shut down the program faster than it implemented insulin price caps.
This is why the person replying to you mocked .ml. You can't even read the damn article.
Technically, accounts were still in place afterwards and they didn't properly clean up the disrespectful mess of a program, but that isn't what you said. You said shut down the program, which demonstrably happened quickly.
The Biden regime stopped all trump regime executive orders on January 20th, 2021, two days before the trump regimes part d insulin price cap would have taken effect.
The stop on January 20 was called a “pause” because after 60 days to evaluate the ones it wanted to keep, the Biden regime said it would continue the good executive orders. I can’t find any indication that the insulin price cap actually went into effect until a year and a half later as part of a huge bill I can’t remember the name of.
The Biden regime shut down the insulin price cap before it shut down the cia antivax campaign.
Does saying regime multiple times make you feel special?
No, I say it to at least recognize that there is an entire apparatus behind these decisions as opposed to attributing them to one person.
I choose to use the word regime to in some small way make reference to the different relationships to different power that each apparatus has. It’s important to not equate the two.
Are you American?
Yes I am, why do you ask?
Which state and city are you even in? Because I don't believe you. I've already called out other non Americans for trying to influence the US elections here, I've been correct, and frankly you being a part of .ml is one of the biggest red flags on Lemmy.
Your wording is simply not something Americans use. So you can either stop trying to influence a different countries elections than your own, or you can sit back down in your mom's basement and keep your immature opinions to yourself.
Of course, send any abuse or what have you over to my address:
200 N Blount St Raleigh, NC 27601
Surely you don’t think a person from the instance focused on open source and privacy would just dox themselves, right?
So, another non American ml account. Got it.
If you want to go through my post history I bet you could put together where I’m at.
What would prove I’m American to you aside from doxing myself?
We all believe you .ml
I replied to the person with the longer comment even though they commented later, but if you like you can consider it a response to yours too.
