Exact same deal here...completely captured, bought and paid for 'regulator'...

From Bloomberg: “One ALS drug made $400 million in sales for its maker. It doesn’t work. A cancer treatment brought in $500 million. That one turned out to have no effect on survival. A blood cancer medication made nearly $850 million before being withdrawn for two of its uses. That drug had been linked to patient deaths years prior.

All of them were allowed to be sold to Americans because of the US Food and Drug Administration’s drive to get new drugs to patients quickly — sometimes even before they’re done testing.

The agency has been under pressure to move faster, a dynamic that has roots in the AIDS crisis when patients were dying while waiting for new medications. But in the years since, it has evolved into an approval process that critics say is driving confusion and could be putting people at risk.

Drug companies are profiting, though. Since 2014, they’ve made at least $3.6 billion in global sales of medications that have either later been shown to be ineffective or had most or all of their uses withdrawn in the US, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Americans Are Paying Billions to Take Drugs That Don’t Work

Companies are increasingly using fast-track approval processes to get unproven treatments to patients.

Quite topical...

You might have even adjusted your behavior in light of all of this. It is part of the new culture of Internet engagement. The line you cannot cross is invisible. You are like a dog with an electric shock collar. You have to figure it out on your own, which means exercising caution when you post, pulling back on hard claims that might shock, paying attention to media culture to discern what is sayable and what is not, and generally trying to avoid controversy as best you can in order to earn the privilege of not being canceled.

Despite all the revelations regarding the Censorship Industrial Complex, and the wide involvement of government in these efforts, plus the resulting lawsuits that claim that this is all censorship, the walls are clearly closing in further by the day.

Users are growing accustomed to it, for fear of losing their accounts.

For example, YouTube (which feeds 55 percent of all video content online) allows three strikes before your account is deleted permanently.

One strike is devastating and two existential.

You are frozen in place and forced to relinquish everything–including your ability to earn a living if your content is monetized–if you make one or two wrong moves.

No one needs to censor you at that point. You censor yourself.

It was not always this way. It was not even supposed to be this way.

The Closing of the Internet Mind

Donald Trump publicly advocated that “in some places” we have to talk about “closing up the Internet.”

Faux left-leaning, warmongering, neoliberal govt's now happily confess 'stress testing' policies on us (to see how hard we'll come for them!), coming soon to an issue near you...

The technocratic wing of the Greens, under Economics Minister Robert Habeck, proposed to mandate that all new heating systems installed after 2024 in Germany use no less than 65% renewable energy. In its original form, the law amounted to a de facto mandate to install heat pumps, and it would’ve entailed catastrophic renovation costs for the owners of many older buildings. The law proved so controversial that even some of the establishment press broke ranks to criticise it; in the end, Habeck had to sacrifice his powerful state secretary Patrick Graichen, and the legislation passed in modified but still pretty terrible form, laden with a wealth of complex subsidies and exceptions.

Yesterday, at a town hall event, somebody asked Habeck about the GEG, and he responded by saying that the first and most ruinous draft of the law was a test, to see how much the people would put up with:

"Many of you will remember that we went as far as we could go in the buildings sector – at least that’s what I would say for myself – without risking the complete collapse of climate policies. The debate about the Building Energy Act, that is how we will heat in the future, was honestly a test of how far society is prepared to go in terms of climate protection when it becomes a reality. And I went too far. You could see that the reaction was immediately there..."

German Minister admits ruinous home heating ordinances were merely a "test" to determine "how far society is prepared to go in terms of climate protection"

We are governed by crazy lunatics, Part 2436502345.
