@FriooLoL@NeoWokio There 100% were recalls before the administration. The difference is that there were still regulations in place (and staff to enforce them) that made it easier to source, contain, and even prevent contaminations. Right now, that whole process is slow and drawn out.
@historyinmemes Y'all, there are many things that we can clown our education system for, but "local principal keeps homeless teenager in his home" is a news headline can end one of two ways, and we don't always know when we're going to get the good ending.
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 AND THAT CAN HAPPEN HERE, TOO. Stories, historical and fictional, of folks turning traitor to their employers are STAPLES that warn us of these potentialities.
Just accept that you don't understand media literacy and go about your day, because frankly, I'm embarrassed FOR you.
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 No, nuclear technology has, in fact, had the impact media has shown. The irresponsible use of it led to the unethical (no, I did not stutter) bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the persistence of the Red Scare that lasted for decades, and devastated land and people (mutation).
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 In fact, these events INFLUENCED media, of people telling theirnown stories or the stories of those who are no longer alive to tell.
For crying out loud, Einstein was ratherly famously a German turncoat that put the knowledge he was acquiring in Germany for the US.
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 And an aside, stories depicting the dangerous use of nuclear technology are 100% a good reason for people to be nervous about their development. Especially because they largely confirm what history has already taught us about its dangerous applications.
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 And I don't know how to explain to you how stories are one of the key ways humans communicate all sorts of information to each other, including warnings about making dumb decisions like creating technology with no reasonable means of controlling it or assuring its ethical use.
@aloysius_von_s@QueenMab87 If you HAD read Jurassic Park, you'd know that two of the core issues of that book was the hubris of the very people who believed they knew what they were doing and the inherent risks of outsiders looking to steal the technology for their own purposes.
@Forbes Someone else puts thought and creativity into a movie adaptation of a well-trodden story, and his response is to ask Grok to shit something out for him? Not the flex he thinks it is.
@animalfarmnow@adamscochran If it was really about reducing foreign dependence on drug ingredients, the government would be looking at drug patent law changes, controlled drug prices, and just generally accepting that US drug companies are just as culpable for current market condition as anything else.
@bowecho777@MaryBowdenMD Mm, let's not forget that manufacuring work, especially when it starts cracking 50+ hours a week, puts a lot of stress on the body that can cause it to start breaking down at an early age. This is very much an "avoid extremes" situation.
