Can you believe that the cash Euro is used in crime, human trafficking, and exploitatiom everywhere, and the US hasn't invaded Europe to stop them from supporting human rights violations all over the earth?

This has nothing to do with encryption or GrapheneOS. Durov was letting slave networks on unencrypted channels go free.

Same with the Europeans, do you know how much tax evasion and embezzlement goes through Ireland alone?

The 500 euro bill, it used to be the Canadian 1000 dollar bill.

And institutions who handle cash are required to turn over their records to investigate such crimes. So are chat apps. Telegram refused.

So why doesn't the EU hand over its secrets to the US? Seems like the EU is a dangerous supporter of terrorism and human trafficking that should be dissolved

Fascist doesn't try to hide behind uncharitable accusations of racism, challenge level: impossible.

Not bring up the US when someone is criticizing China, challenge level: impossible

The article is about the US.

The OP made a false claim about China.

The problem is zoning and building codes, which combine to effectively ban ghettos.

People generally don't realize how much of the regulatory apparatus in the US comes from racist origins.

It doesn't follow that the regulations are sensible reactions to those problems.

Patents are form of regulation, by the way. They grant a legal monopoly over production of a particular product.

Realistically, the reason the EU is a customs union and not a trade union is because they need to implement protectionist policies to prevent their imdustry from being outcompeted by countries which don't suffer from these regulations.

Greed explains nothing. People will be greedy when they are incentivized to be greedy, and thrifty when they are incentivized to be thrifty. There are plenty of incentives, I might add, for regulators to be greedy though.

Nothing has fixed and closed quality parameters. At least not if your concern is quality as understood by the people who want or need insulin as opposed to whatever arbitrary standard a bureaucrat could make up.

> whatever arbitrary standard a bureaucrat

You do know these people are scientific experts and have teams of scientific experts working for them, right. It’s not some blazing skulls stuffed shirt lol

No amount of scientific expertise will turn a subjective thing (which is what product quality is) into an objective thing. Credible, ethical, and well-trained scientists should be able to recognize that and desist from dressing up their preferences into scientific dress and passing it off as the results of objective science.

> subjective thing

There is nothing subjective about insulin quality you dimwit

The quality of a product is subjective to the user of that product. This is a scientific fact of economics, and insistence otherwise is science denial.

Power discrepancy is not a category of pricing. The price is high because the supply is constrained relative to demand. And in this case, regulations cause a restriction of supply.
