  1. Re:Be creative, go around FDA on "Open Source" Drug Development Company Launched · · Score: 1

    Human trials are done by companies, not by FDA, and I want to see FDA try and push a concept that they can shut down how a company works internally in this manner, all of a sudden, there will be a precedent set with weird consequences (there people working for the same companies in all States and across the border). In any case, FDA needs to be disbanded just like 99% of all other executive branches of the federal government.

    You can definitely put people under with different types of anaesthetic, I mean seriously, they still produce chloroform and it's an old old method, there are various new gases, including N2O, halothane, then there are intravenous injections with propofol, pentothal, etc. They are unrelated to opiates, there are barbiturates that can be used as well.

    For pain - novalgin (metamizole sodium) and such. They can manage.

    Here is a good start:
    1. Stop the drug war.
    2. Stop welfare checks to anybody who is able bodied and was on welfare for more than 20 weeks in his/her life.
    3. Abolish all business regulations.
    4. Abolish all labour regulations (no more lawsuits dictated by government policy, none of this 'Civil Rights' NONSENSE.
    5. Abolish minimum wage, clearly with near 25% of unemployment this is not helping anybody.
    6. Abolish government mandated employer insurance.
    7. Abolish income taxes.
    8. Abolish payroll taxes.
    9. Abolish corporate taxes.
    10. Abolish the Federal Reserve System.
    11. Abolish dep't of Education.
    12. Stop the fucking wars.

    I say this is a good START to actually begin solving these problems.

    Exactly - selling milk across State lines, and all that nonsense, that's what gov't is maintaining the highway system for (including 'interstate' highway in Hawaii). However this does not mean that the people, that are owners of the company, participating in very long term 'trials', and who are part of the 'quality assurance team' cannot work for the company and do what they must do to attempt and create a product. It's not a product on a market and trials must be done in order to bring the product to the market, so just never stop the trials.

    Why not? FDA cannot come to a company and say: you can run studies of the drug, you cannot attempt to make a drug, etc. They are saying: you can't advertise and sell the drug without their approval, who is talking about advertising and selling? It's all done within the company, not in the market, not through drug stores. I don't think FDA is set up to deal with this type of regulation at all, and I don't even think it's doable.

    This is just me, coming up with ways to defeat the damage of what government is, routing around the damage. Same thing as what all businesses are doing. Government is damage, businesses and people are routing around it.

    They need to be creative and go around all of the FDA rules. If I had to do something like that I'd tell the potential customers that they couldn't buy the new drugs unless they were part owners of the company, so they would have to buy stock in the company, and as partial owners it could be that they are 'part of the team that develops the drugs' and thus they are just participating in quality assurance or something of that kind.

    FDA is a major contributor to the cost of drugs/technologies and gate-keeper protecting the monopolies and keeping the competitors off the market.

    That's what I have to say on this. The less money that government takes away from actual people and businesses to do things it wants to do, the better. It allows the actual individuals and businesses to command their money as they see fit and that's the way to create real innovation. That's why industrialisation created the environment for best education and most scientific discoveries and engineering innovations, while creating most goods and wealth ever.

    The real issue is that Canada is not doing enough to be included into all lists like that. Canada, as a raw material and energy exporter, needs to allow its currency to be set by the market and it needs to allows all of its copyright and patent laws to be set by the market as well - which means, the legislation around all of these issues need to be repealed. If Canada allows its currency and regulations to go where the market takes them, it will not only be a raw material, energy exporter, but will bring in tons of new investments and businesses into the country.

    Yes, it is damage to business. It is damage to the market. The government is stealing freedoms from people and selling power to whoever is paying most, and so those who are paying most, let us call them group A, are being protected. Those are not dealing with the gov't, call them group B, are being damaged.

    Who do you believe the market and people that the market consists of benefit more from, those who buy the government or those who are being damaged by it? Those who buy the government buy themselves protection against those who are being damaged, and also there is just collateral damage from all the government buying.

    Market is suffering, competition is suffering, individuals in the market are suffering from this. Businesses from group A are destroying the market by government proxy.

    As I said - calling something an economy that is 'socialised' is almost an oxymoron. Calling it a market is a complete oxymoron.

    There are plenty of markets and economies, some are freer than others, Internet is a much freer economy than most 'real' ones.

    Chinese economy is much freer than US economy.

    US economy of today is near fascist, which is about the same type of oxymoron as 'socialist economy'.

    As to what exists today - those are either falling apart or moving away from being socialist towards being economies.

    I disagree with you on one thing: Yabloko has enough support to take a strong position in government, there is a reason they just did to Yavlinsky what they did. He can't participate in the elections because he was perceived as the real threat and it's true: if there is no Putin right now, the vote will go to Zyuganov, which is terrible.

    The only real alternative was in fact Yavlinsky, that's why they took him out early.

    It's similar to Ron Paul in USA right now, it's just he is still in the race because in USA they like to run their charades in a little bit different way, it's all about capturing the mindless voter with overwhelming amount of money spent on commercials and with 'wedge issues'.

    The problem is State violence against individual. The problem is complete and utter lack of honesty and justice in the judicial system and ability and willingness of the government officials to use pure brutal force against any dissidents.

    The examples are plenty, Khodorkovskiy (that's the best written approximation of the Russian name to English that I can master) is just one of them, but there are hundreds of dead journalists, hundreds of dead or severely beaten activists and protesters. It's just that Putin is a product of the ex-KGB system and that's all he knows. Can't teach an old dog new tricks and all that, all he knows is using overwhelming force against any opponent, regardless of how small/insignificant and he knows he needs to put on a huge show, all this PR propaganda stunts, where he is presented as a tough macho leader, as they always like to say: Russia needs a Tsar.
