Covid gave the whole world a chance to try something different. The only changes I’m aware of from that were regressions.

World News@lemmy.world•Repeated deadly cough syrup scandals pose hard questions for India’s drug regulatorsEnglish
3·3 months ago“Hard questions.” Bull shit. The “question” is to make great profit selling to the most populous country with proper safe guards. Or to make astronomical profits by selling a knowingly tainted product that kills people.

2·3 months agoIn the US, isn’t that what the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) electrical designation is? A separate entity that certifies?
I think it is separate from the government.

Unlike Energy Star, which is part of the US government’s EPA, and thus it was, or was threatened with, reduced in capacity by Trump.

This happens to me only on the Subscribed / Home tab. Everything else does infinite scroll.
It’s been happening for maybe 3+ months. I’ve stopped using Lemmy because of it. I keep hoping it gets fixed.

(It can also hurt the statistics of the call center employee, so it’s morally wishy-washy)

News@lemmy.world•Hershey Raising Candy Prices by Double Digits on High Cocoa CostsEnglish
31·5 months agoHershey’s has had many reasons to be boycotted over the decades. I’m not aware of any of those reasons being corrected by the company.
I am completely against what Israel is doing to Palestine and against the colonization and genocide being done.
This instance of Hershey’s doing business in Israel is a very weak reason to boycott. There are many other obvious reasons to boycott Hershey’s.

This is the basis for taxing high sugar convenience food. It was done for cigarettes, and today, consumers overwhelmingly see it as a good program. (Of course tobacco companies lobbied hard against it)
Should there be a line on which products governments deincentivise? High sugar convenience foods have their purpose, but does it outweigh increasing obesity? Should we instead subsidize healthy foods? Or both together?




Since I’m out of free articles, I’m going to guess the plan is to put spacecraft on that huge volcano on Mars so when it blows, the spacecraft will be shot out into space crazy fast!
