I'm guessing bad PR is better than a class-action lawsuit:
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved a new drug, Descovy, for prevention of infection with H.I.V., only the second drug approved for this purpose.
The first, Truvada, has become a mainstay of government efforts to turn back the H.I.V. epidemic. But the F.D.A. approved Descovy for use only in men and transgender women, because its maker, Gilead Sciences, tested it only in those groups.
It gets worse for
@nba
. Per
@FinancialTimes
they provided statements that were translated differently in Chinese and English. Talk about duplicitous. Just pathetic.
Few universities have a more troubling record on Title IX matters than Yale. A few months after settling a lawsuit brought by former basketball captain Jack Montague—thereby avoiding trial on a variety of claims, including that the university manipulated its procedures to bring charges against Montague and then found him guilty despite a preponderance of the evidence suggesting otherwise—the university has released its sixteenth semi-annual report of sexual assault allegations among the Yale student body.
As always—if accepted at face value—the data in the report, penned by Deputy Provost for Health Affairs & Academic Integrity Stephanie Spangler, indicates an extraordinarily dangerous campus, beset (at least for female undergraduates) with a much higher violent crime rate than any of the nation’s most dangerous cities. And, as always, the specifics within the Spangler Report suggest instead a campus motivated by a frenzy to report, with few cases even brought for adjudication in Yale’s notoriously one-sided adjudication system, the University-Wide Committee.
The sub-headline, however, sums it up nicely, "When the human condition resists perfection through legislation, the answer always seems to be more—and stupider—laws."

It's not enough to drug-test the political candidates. The voters must be drug-tested also.
Slow down... It's like asking a parent to name a favorite child.
Sheesh, when you see a list like that, you wonder how many newsmakers weren't frauds.

Rashida Tlaib Comes Out for Jim Crow-Style Laws, Arrests of Her Political Foes ~ mpetrie98 at October 7, 2019 5:49 PM
Rashida Tlaib is not a deep-thinking politician. Like Harry Reid, she'll happily change the rules today to make existing circumstances convenient with no thought to the future.
If the Thought and Speech Police can jail your political enemies today, they can still jail them when you become an enemy of the existing order. And you will have helped make it legal.
Looks like Hunter Biden was busy. As they say, hookers & blow don't buy themselves.
