  • “Hard lemonade could mean anything.”

    They have signs up listing how much caffeine is in them, which by the way, isn’t legally mandated. The only requirement the FDA has on caffeine labeling is that it’s listed as an ingredient. That’s it. The amount of caffeine doesn’t have to be disclosed.

    So if the amount of caffeine is known, what more do they need to do before it becomes the consumer’s responsibility? Your argument is that it’s dangerous, but alcohol is much more dangerous than what is known from the surgeon General warning, and its dangerous to those not consuming it as well.

    You can’t treat it different because of the novelty of the item, in which case maybe the FDA needs to mandate all drugs to have warning labels, not just OTC and alcohol.





  • Kissinger didn’t give a shit about the Jewish people, or people at all, even after seeing first hand the horrors of the Holocaust. Kissinger backed the genocide of Bengali Hindus, personally approved bombings in Cambodia, directly influenced the reign of terror that would murder thousands of Chileans, and told Nixon that the gassing of Soviet Jews wasn’t America’s concern. He called US jews who called for action against the Soviets “self serving bastards” and completely ignored his own heritage when visiting his home town in Germany.

    Amazing that you would claim him when he wouldn’t claim you.





  • It’s the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.

    And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.

    Unfortunately it’s also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.
