I suppose Fennec is the next in line

Did you just seriously bring up Hitler in a balcony solar panel discussion?

Tourists:

This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11. Which would be fine if this were the first mention of Section 31 and what they are about. This is nothing like the Section 31 from DS9, maybe there is some kind of explanation for that, we’ll see.

Damn, they are pushing this real hard.

You probably won’t.

… but for some reason I liked it.

I am guessing there were two reasons.

It’s also a plot point in the movie “only lovers left alive”, where the vampires get their blood from medical doctors who guarantee its quality.

Ugh, I wish holding crying bag

Especially NOT League of Legends.

The 14GB worth of CSV file containing only the email addresses and no passwords

So, not really that concerning?

Well duh, why would I want Egyptian hieroglyphs on my keyboard??? /s

Are you the guy with the tiny master sword in the UK that was recently in the news?

Woah, thanks for that. Didn’t have time yet to look into it and this is quite helpful!

I see, thanks. Then I will lookup how to install some apps globally. Won’t need everything but a base set of apps that all users will need.

Yeah I get what you are saying, you are not wrong. But I have replied to a different person who said this specifically:

we’d have a research arm of the FDA that was employing scientists/chemists to develop drugs for the most basic health needs of its citizens and dispensing them at cost to keep drugs affordable but developing cures versus disease maintenance drugs

That is not just vaccines for me. All vaccines are drugs but not all drugs are vaccines.

And that is surely way to much to handle for the government. There isn’t even a single large pharma company that does all that.

Yeah, how many different vaccines was that? Now multiply by however many different diseases you want to cure and take into account that some diseases require medicines to be tested in very lengthy clinical trials.

That is still a huge step up from the 31.6 billion you quote.

I am not sure you are aware of the immense costs to develop new drugs for diseases. At least that’s what your comment sounds like, making new drugs. To do that as a state entity is completely unrealistic as it would take a massive investment from the government. Most drugs developed also fail at some stage of the process, meaning you lost all that money and work on it.

Now, if you meant that the government should produce already established basic drugs that are known to work, sell those at cost, yes, that would be a very sensible approach.

Oh man, I forgot that I miss Subreddit Simulator. Its hilarious.

Well, you also have to clean them which I assume also uses energy. And they need to be fulfilling “food-grade” cleaning requirements since you want to drink out of them, so that’s probably more energy needed than a simple wash in soap.
