If Afghanistan's Taliban and Texas' state government switched places, would anyone really notice?

If she goes the way of the dodo, I'll probably stop watching Democracy now, because she is in large part, what makes watching horrific news on the third world palpable... Dont know why, just is. You should see her swallowing down tears, and continuing with a news segment... Its, ... something...

Gerrymandering is a serious issue all over the country but definitely seems worse in Red states

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
