That article is exactly on point. There is a process in place for the express reason of slowing and blocking anything that will bring about positive, meaningful solutions and potential cures to the human condition.

#22As someone who has looked at things like Renewable energy deployments within the UK, this is a pattern that seems to be quite pervasive across all industries. The byzantine web of planning approvals, goose counting, public outcry that you have to deal with to deploy essentially a relatively small solar farm is monstrous. What that results with is that the only people capable of creating & managing these processes hav…
Have you tried the "forgiveness is easier than permission" approach? What would happen if you just installed the solar panels? I know that in some countries they'd come by with a bulldozer and tear them down again - is your country one of those?

I don't see how you can blame this on feminists when other people should also have been pushing for those same rights? Why are you putting more of the blame on feminists and women than any other section of society here? It just reads as unhinged misogyny.
Because they were fighting for half the population, and they demonstrably lost. We now have pre-1975 law, including horrific laws like Texas creating task forces hunting out women with miscarriages and abortions in other states. They could have made the 'umbrella' of what they were fighting for cover 100% of the population. They didn't. We're all worse for it.

#24The healthcare industry, especially in the US, isn't interested in finding cures for disease. It's interested in maximizing profits, which is a goal that the bureaucracy serves.

You can see this pattern repeated often by conservatives (not invented by them, but currently popular with them): No matter what happens, attack your political enemies. Every problem, every event, is an opportunity to smear them.

Have you ever considered that "finding cures for disease" is really fucking hard to do? Things that were easy to cure were already cured some time in the past century. What remains is the hard to crack nuts that resist simple scalable methods. There's money to be had in curing HIV - but good luck pulling that off. Maybe someone will, this century.
Have you ever considered that once a disease is cured, the industry can no longer profit off of it being a disease? Treating disease rather than curing it, is a much more profitable venture.
How is there money to be had in curing HIV? It seems to me like it's much more profitable to continue selling expensive HIV treatments rather than curing the disease. Once a patient is cured, they no longer need to pay for expensive treatments.

Load of bollocks, this meme is tiresome. It's the USA that fires people and jails people for a month for social media posts

Re: The bureaucracy blocking the chance at a cure
#30> More and more promising treatments are accumulating in the pipeline, fueled by an explosion of new therapeutic modalities, ranging from mRNA to better peptides and more recently, by AI.
If the pipeline is backed up you put a bigger pipe in place, not get rid of it and hope some of the resulting flood goes where you want.
