It’s why we have the nobel prize

politics @lemmy.world•OOPS: Trump Trade War Has U.S. Automakers Looking to Move Manufacturing to China, Per WSJ
8·1 year agoI’m with you, it’s so fucked. And every time we lose manufacturing, we lose everything else. Engineering, sourcing, quality, follows manufacturing.

62·1 year agoYa because the tarriffs mean that a device already sold LOSES money to fulfil. Medical devices already don’t have great margins…
Bro mocking the unstable guy holding a gun for being chicken sounds like a good way to get shot

politics @lemmy.world•Former top FDA official warns RFK Jr. against giving "false hope" on autism
51·1 year agoWhat if people with autism weren’t disadvantaged in society?
Okay, even if every person in the world magically didn’t find autistic behaviors offputting or subconsciously uncanny, and they were willing to be extremely accommodating, go out of their way to overcome communication issues, life would still be a chore

It’s a developmental disorder plain and simple, disability for many. It isn’t all rainbows and sunshine and “everyone is special in their own way”. But everyone seems to forget this because everyone wants to be positive and accommodating.

Plenty of disabilities have anti-treatment culture because it gets conflated with identity.

Your experience may be different, but acknowledge that others’ experiences are too. Some of us want the advantages and easier life that effective treatment would provide.
Huh I didn’t realize that economics have their own version of math /s

Just like tienamen square :)
