Meanwhile, in America, a drug manufacturer sold tainted eye-drops that killed and seriously maimed people, and not one exec has faced consequences. There's barely been any media scrutiny, just boilerplate articles that refuse to name names or even attempt to explain what the fuck went wrong. As for the FDA, I've given up on them. They're fucking useless.
I'm against the death penalty, but at the same time I can't stand lib orgs like Amnesty who screech about how DYsTOPiAn the death penalty is in China when we have the exact same system here in the States except worse because it targets poor and non-white people exclusively.
BUT WHO WILL INNOVATE
Call me an idealist but, the death sentence is murder regardless of what colour is on the murderer's flag.
I will take your offer and call you idealist. In a utopia, no one is killed, but while we work to build socialism, the deaths of capitalists culpable for crimes like this are the last deaths to cry over. The purpose of the socialist state is to suppress the bourgeoisie, and it is the evidence of this in how people of different classes are treated that socialists are interested in, not the "color of the flag" like a puerile Bakuninite might suggest.
idealist!

they were likely from a wealthy family. the ideas they could express freely were reactionary
I think this is more of a "grass is always greener on the other side" thing
A lot of the Chinese international students at my college were like that. Might be a biased sample size, though. People who move to different countries are more likely to be partial to said countries.
You should repost this but instead of eyedrops compare it to the recent incident in 2021 when Abbott, the largest manufacturer of baby formula in the US, sold tainted formula that caused hundreds of infants to become ill and resulted in at least 9 confirmed infant deaths.
The US media didn't say shit about the deaths and failed to mention that the FDA only discovered the issue from the findings of a CDC investigation of a string of infant deaths across the US. At least 9 infants died but none of the company leadership faced any criminal charges. Instead the CEO of Abbott received a 20 million dollar bonus that year.
"We now know that contrary to initial reports, nine babies who were fed Abbott powdered infant formula manufactured in their Sturgis, Michigan facility have died," said Congresswoman DeLauro. This is heartbreaking and shameful. Many of these deaths could have likely been prevented if Abbott Nutrition and the FDA did not drag their feet to investigate credible allegations of substandard food safety practices at the plant. And what is deeply disturbing is the timeline in which these events unfolded.
"In February 2021, an entire year before the voluntary recall, Abbott and the FDA were alerted to allegations concerning problems at the Sturgis, Michigan manufacturing facility through a complaint filed by an employee. The problems included failing equipment in need of repair and formula released without adequate evidence that it was safe for consumption. Abbott confirmed receipt and submitted a formal response to the complaint two months later.
"Despite knowing this information, it was not until September 2021 that the FDA conducted a routine inspection of the facility and learned of the potential link between a specific rare and deadly foodborne pathogen and powdered infant formula manufactured by Abbott. At the same time, an infant in Minnesota given formula manufactured in Abbott's Sturgis, Michigan facility was diagnosed with Cronobacter sakazakii. This was the first case reported
I only want justice.
Pretty soon it'll be illegal to sue corporations. I give it five years, maybe less given how reactionary the Supreme Court is.
tobacco companies in China remove nitrosamines from their tobacco, while amerikan companies dont. this makes Chinese cigarettes considerably less carcinogenic than amerikan cigs
Peak. Performance.
This is what i aspire to be on my morning jogs.
