In other words, it's time for rioters to burn the FDA to the ground. Only today, the 30th of March, have they finally approved this common -- ahem, patent-expired -- drug for use against the deadly pandemic. Oh but you people love government so much, don't you? Make sure not to wear a mask over you mouth and nose. Your overlords still do not approve.
NYU Langone Tells ER Doctors to ‘Think More Critically’ About Who Gets Ventilators NYU Langone Health, one of the nation’s top academic medical centers, told emergency-room doctors that they have “sole discretion” to place patients on ventilators and institutional backing to “withhold futile intubations.” A March 28 email from Robert Femia, who heads the New York health center’s department of emergency medicine, underscored the life-or-death decisions placed on the shoulders of bedside physicians as they treat increasing numbers of coronavirus patients with a limited supply of ventilators....
Cops kick in wrong door, murder innocent woman sleeping in her bed. Don't worry boys, just tell the judge: "Furtive!" "Waistband!" and you can finish your paid vacation.

Things are already desperate for the Yemeni people, who have a hard time getting food, medicine, and clean water. These problems have led to the world's worst outbreaks of cholera, a disease that only needs basic...
Scott talks to Andrew Bacevich about the ways U.S. military spending over the last few decades has indebted our country and will continue to impoverish future generations. The mistakes go back to America's squandering of its Cold War peace dividend in the early 1990s, drastically expanding its empire in Europe and Asia instead of shrinking the military and focusing on prosperity at home.

Ted Carpenter discusses the possible ramifications of the coronavirus on both the economy and our personal liberties. He first reminds us that this is not a question of sacrificing economic productivity for the sake of saving lives, as some would have us believe—shutting down huge sectors of the economy itself threatens human lives through increased risk to the most vulnerable, ruined careers, and increased deaths related to stress and despair. Carpenter also worries that it will be difficult to roll back the increased powers that the federal government is deploying, supposedly to combat the...
