Existence of specific bad US regulation and overregulation caused this.
Bad EU regulations and overregulation caused other problems. For example it is illegal for me to throw old socks full of holes into trash, I am supposed to take it to recycling centre on other side of the city.
Oh yeah, because in the absence of regulation, the insulin producer would sell it at negligible margins, sure!
As for the socks - my city has like ~5 locations where old textiles can be recycled, the closest one in slightly less than 1km from where I live. I see no problem with going there twice a year :)
With lack of regulations, the theory is, there will be many competing manufacturers of insulin, dropping the cost down. Probably not as simple as that, but that's the idea at least
Absolutely. With no regulations I could produce/sell it for super cheap. Because I would be cutting it with tap water, and using forced labor
I am not going to collect old clothes (used as rags and ready to be thrown out) for months. For start, my flat is not large enough for that.
I just throw them away with rubbish and get less supportive of people and institutions that created this law.
Can you please link the law that states that?
I see too much bad faith shit thrown around.
