Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma's to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

[-] SaltSong@startrek.website 43 points 11 months ago

Ah, you forget the alternative. Instead of quicker review, we could just reduce oversight, and remove safety regulations.

We are not going to approve any new drugs with Brain Worms running the CDC. You just need a good spoonful of cod liver oil.

Right. They are just gonna let anyone sell anything.

My wife is artsy, and I'm sciency. Maybe we can go into snake oil.

Changing manufacturing sites requires a submission. You have to prove safety and efficacy.

We're about to have a third world economy. Good luck with that.

US healthcare already lags 3rd world countries so it's going back to the confederacy now.

Never been a better time to be selling leather biting straps.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I just had a vision of etsy products with colorful Pokemon characters set in rawhide leather biting straps.

[-] tryagain@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Lot of BDSM crafters about to pivot to medical supplies. Restraints? Harnesses? Relaxants? Something to bite on? They're so ready for this.

Oh thank goodness. I was starting to worry Tariffs were not on everything.

Oil executives would probably have him murdered if he did that.

You don’t fuck with oil execs’ bottom line.

You might want to get sick now, before pharmaceuticals aren't available anymore.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

And thanks to RFK Jr., that's more feasible than ever.

Trump has looped back around to full retard so many times that I have no idea why I'm dividing the circumference of an average apple by a banana on a bicycle.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

This will kill people. Directly kill them.

Social Murder.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Just what we needed. More expensive healthcare.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

When your perspective is that Trump's testicles are held in a vice grip by Daddy Putin, the whole tarriffs situation makes clear as day sense.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 11 months ago

I guess I feel less bad about the stache I have accidentally built up over the last couple of years. Time to refill everything.
