I believe that would be the Increasing Transparency in Generic Drug Applications Act, and the Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act, both bipartisan, and both passed this year.

I'll believe they're serious when they start living the lifestyles they claim we'll need to curve the trend. Tons of posts about Trump but none about the supposed environmentalists who are still living the same lifestyles of the average Trump supporter. Where is the low-hanging fruit? Why aren't these people changing their ways? Why ask those who oppose your agenda when your own "believers" can't be bothered?

If these people were serious we'd see EV adaption in the double digits and be able to walk into any restaurant and get a vegetarian meal without having to double guess what may or may not be used to create it. We're not seeing that. We're not going to see that because environmentalism is only an issue when it comes down to politics and not lifestyle in the minds of these people. They want to weaponize environmentalisms as a political tool, not as a practical guide for end-user consumption.

But, you know, fOlLoW tHe ScIeNcE!!!

I agree. I've been a T-Mobile customer since they were called VoiceStream. Up until [what feels like] five years ago, I LOVED them. Like, I almost felt an allegiance toward them, because they were one of the few cool companies that actually seemed to care about customer experience.

But, new leadership --> new direction, no more US call centers, the "forever plan" was bullshit... Now, I fucking hate them.

Although, I do have to admit, while I was spending time in the High Uintah mountains this past week, it was awesome getting 15 Mbps from my free Starlink access. But, that's more thanks to Starlink than T-Mobile -- at least, as far as I'm willing to attribute.

Such a low slash ID for such a young child.

Yep, Thunderbird. It's awesome, and one of the few OSS projects I've actually donated to.

So far, you're right. But, why change the subject to NYC? Probably because you know the same can't be said for the state in question. California HAS had a mass ex-migration wealthy business leaders and owners over the past few years.

...divorced from the grinding reality of regular folks.

What's the grinding reality of regular folks? I worked two jobs for years to put myself through college, got a job as an electrical engineer / firmware engineer (I've moved around a lot, working for some stable and some startup companies). I own a house and two cars, and work ~8 hours a day. Am I regular folk? Is my reality "grinding"?

I was able to buy a few shares of SPCX in the IPO, just for the hell of it. Now, as business builds, and Elon gets ever richer, so will I (a little). And, this is despite the fact that, YES, I AM regular folk.

Extending his wealth increases what he is capable of

YES

and deprives the rest of us the opportunity to do likewise.

NO, that's retarded.

Hmm. Especially in light of that, I think my comment still stands. :)

...1080 pixel monitors...

And you think you're going to be a tech journalist? Yeah, I guess that tracks.

Call me when it works with all phone apps and all SMS apps and all contacts apps.

I will, but will you take the call?

Hence the third sentence in my post.

They hate government meddling when they don't control government. Just like they hate government spending when they don't get to choose where the money is spent.

Correct on both counts. This is known as the concept of Government by the people. Obviously, it's a concept lost in today's world, but it's a worthy principle to work back toward.

What's a good portmanteau of gigolo and mosquito? Gigolito? I like Mosquigolo.

It sounds like assumptions are being made about the cause. Gut bacteria have been shown to have a direct influence on mental health. How do they know this affect isn't something akin to that?
