If there's one group that can withstand this and effectively fight back, it's Big Pharma.

tylenol isn't owned by 'big pharma' though. it and johnson & johnson's other 'consumer healthcare' products were spun-off (into kenvue), completed a couple years ago.... and now--during this new bullshit--it was very recently (this past week) announced that kimberly-clark (known primarily for their paper products and disposable diapers) is acquiring that spin-off.

Kimberly clark may not be "big pharma" but their still a fortune 500. They are just behind Blackrock. They most certainly have sway.

One could say that Tylenol kills more people than cannabis.

Yet Tylenol is safer than Tide Pods.

Make cannabis legal in Texas?

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago

Will this impede on my ability to use tide pods recreationally? If so, please don't.

It is safe, RFK just said there is no proof.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

And you think that facts matter at all anymore in that shit hole Country?

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Taking into account the downvotes, no.

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No medication is safe, this is why you only take them when you really need them. But, a medication which is taken by millions of people for multiple decades, if it wasn't very safe, it would have been obvious by now.

Those instructions from President Donald Trump came during a September press conference in which he repeatedly urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol and to "tough it out," recommendations he acknowledged he gave based on "common sense," not scientific evidence.

Given that, a judge should shoot this right out of the sky.

"President's directive."

"He say where he's getting this information?"

"Vibes."

We need a full embargo. Nothing in or out except queer kids and their families.

[–] shani66@ani.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

Unironically, close to an actual policy we should genuinely do. We should relocate those who are unable to participate in society, ie Republicans, into Texas and only allow children out.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well okay but I don’t think you’ll have a lot of queer kid takers for going in.

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

No, but family may need to enter to rescue one.

Oh and artillery shells. To maintain the border. This isn't some theatrical bullshit; Texans are a genuine threat and we do not need them breaching containment.

Easy to swallow

The truth that idiot conservatives (all people who advertise themselves as conservative, let's be honest here) keep falling for their own brand of brainrot bullshit was in fact not easy to swallow.

from highschool to now I've almost certainly had 8-10x more tylenol than anyone else my age has had in their entire lives. I was continually in so much pain I could barely function even with the pills and often mixed painkillers in hopes of even a tiny improvement. any autistic tendencies have existed since long before I had any tylenol and my dad had always been against avoidable meds having barely avoided being a thalidomide baby, which he is still fixated on to this day.
