World News@lemmy.world•Repeated deadly cough syrup scandals pose hard questions for India’s drug regulatorsEnglish
3·8 个月前“Hard questions.” Bull shit. The “question” is to make great profit selling to the most populous country with proper safe guards. Or to make astronomical profits by selling a knowingly tainted product that kills people.

2·8 个月前In the US, isn’t that what the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) electrical designation is? A separate entity that certifies?
I think it is separate from the government.

Unlike Energy Star, which is part of the US government’s EPA, and thus it was, or was threatened with, reduced in capacity by Trump.

Europe@feddit.org•Medicine shortage in EU set to drag on, auditors say | dpa internationalEnglish
1·9 个月前He also emphasized that for common painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, the EU is entirely dependent on Asia.
One of the main causes of shortages, the auditors in Luxembourg noted, is weakness in supply chains.
Additionally, the EU’s internal market for medicines is fragmented and free trade is restricted.

When US cars are made for other countries, the separate orange light is added.
America only has 2nd or 3rd world consumer protection.

News@lemmy.world•Hershey Raising Candy Prices by Double Digits on High Cocoa CostsEnglish
31·11 个月前Hershey’s has had many reasons to be boycotted over the decades. I’m not aware of any of those reasons being corrected by the company.
I am completely against what Israel is doing to Palestine and against the colonization and genocide being done.
This instance of Hershey’s doing business in Israel is a very weak reason to boycott. There are many other obvious reasons to boycott Hershey’s.

News@lemmy.world•Hershey Raising Candy Prices by Double Digits on High Cocoa CostsEnglish
51·11 个月前This is true.
This is the basis for taxing high sugar convenience food. It was done for cigarettes, and today, consumers overwhelmingly see it as a good program. (Of course tobacco companies lobbied hard against it)
Should there be a line on which products governments deincentivise? High sugar convenience foods have their purpose, but does it outweigh increasing obesity? Should we instead subsidize healthy foods? Or both together?

Covid gave the whole world a chance to try something different. The only changes I’m aware of from that were regressions.
