Long story short: tell our government to fight high drug prices, tell Adobe to stop selling fake AI war images, and tell our government to improve food safety. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
More Perfect Union helps you tell our Department of Health and Human Services (or HHS) to take on big pharma corporations and their absurdly high-priced drugs. Specifically, you’ll ask HHS to enact the most vigorous “march-in” rules possible, so that when big pharma corporations overcharge for drugs our taxpayer money helped create – which, ha ha, is most drugs, because big pharma corporations are such socialists! – then our government can “march in” and license the drug to another corporation which’ll make it more cheaply. Because medicine shouldn’t be the kind of thing that costs an arm and a leg! Literally!
Win Without War helps you tell Adobe’s CEO to stop peddling fake AI-generated images of the Israel/Palestine war that have somehow made their way to our internet. Selling fake war images should pretty much strike everyone as, you know, wrong, but our big corporations are such cultural relativists, such postmodernists, and every right-winger who says corporations should be allowed to do whatever they want is thus also a cultural relativist and a postmodernist. I don’t find these terms offensive myself (OK, maybe “postmodernist”), but I know right-wingers do, and they deserve some of their own.
Finally, Civic Shout helps you tell our Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) to improve food safety standards and practices. Because food poisoning always makes the news, and FDA officials say that existing food safety practices can’t prevent intentional food poisoning (as apparently happened with WanaBana products recently), so clearly they’ve got to up their game. And one more time: the existence of food poisoning does not prove that “government is bad” or “regulations are useless”; it merely proves that anything worth doing is hard work. We don’t shrink from hard work, do we?
