I know Iβll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).
I just wish it werenβt so damn frustrating, feeling like youβre screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.
CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. Thatβs fucking momentous.
I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldnβt have known it happened if I didnβt read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didnβt it?
Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architectureβ¦there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. Iβm sure Iβll see a headline in a year, βBidenβs lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.β
