Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And 85% of medical isotopes come from Canada!

Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I've only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.
Hope you manage to beat the cancer!
Isn't Ozempic already mad expensive in the US compared to Denmark where it comes from?
Perhaps he thinks Ozempic actually is harvested in Greenland? :-D
Fresh off the ozempic fields.
Oh good, that’s totally going to help drug prices go down, right?
Everywhere else ? Probably
So, he really IS going to try and put tariffs on fentanyl?
Somehow I don't think smugglers pay tariffs.
Oh they’ll pay all sorts of crazy tariffs, just like the rest of us. They just won’t pay them for fentanyl.
I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?
FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.
That was the first thing I thought watching it. Eerily too close. Makes it a bit more difficult to be entertained by it.
Oh also, apparently Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist. So, eck. Unsure if I’ll continue.
That was the first thing I thought watching it. Eerily too close. Makes it a bit more difficult to be entertained by it.
I'm not convinced that someone at the Heritage Foundation didn't read the book and think EUREKA!!! It's too on-the-nose for it to be a coincidence.
Or Atwood is a time-traveller and that's why she has a secret book in a time capsule to be opened in 100 years. On the day of it's opening, she'll pop up in a surprise since it's before she travelled back in time, thereby closing the paradox loop.
Great! Medicines will now be even more expensive for patients in the United States. Genius!
Like a really bad gambler, double downing every hand in blackjack.
He’s definitely got double downs syndrome
