    Can you propose a process that is so flawless that it won’t fail a single time out of 5.5 Billion?

    Well yeah, two obvious ones:

    1. what you do with chicken nuggets, where you grind the meat.

    2. where you train and pay your employees well and have quality control processes and audits to detect whenever something goes wrong.

    Now, when a problem happens, I’d agree that Tyson should be on the hook to cover medical costs, etc. This shouldn’t hinge on the definition of “boneless.” Regardless of whether the customer should have known there was the chance of bone or not, their product caused harm in an unexpected way, and they should be liable for that.

    It entirely hinges on that definition. Tyson isn’t going to get sued or cover shit if you choke on a bone in a normal chicken wing.

    The harm occurred only because Tyson advertised them as boneless when they weren’t.

    Unless you are eating octopus or calamari, every piece of meat ever comes with the possibility of bones.

    Ok bud, so when I buy a chicken breast, it’s totally impossible for me to butcher and clean it in a way that there aren’t going to be bones in the end result?

    You think bones just randomly grow throughout the muscle in impossible to predict ways?

    Why on earth, should a corporation be allowed to advertise that they sell boneless wings that have bones in them? This isn’t the government holding someone’s hand this is the government preventing a massive corporation from lying and cutting corners to the point that people get hurt. Like Jesus Christ do you work for Tyson foods, are you sleep deprived, or genuinely just this daft?

    If they have the possibility of having bones in them, then they should not be labelled “boneless”, since they are then, you know, not boneless. They should be labelled “sometimes boneless”, or the company should do its job and follow proper quality control processes.

    We could also have prevented this situation with government mandated minimum chewing times.

    Please do tell us your detailed plan for having the government regulate the chewing time of children?

    I’m sure it’s more practical then just banning corporations from making false claims and lying to consumers.

    Because you’re making the claim that capitalism inherently leads to loneliness.

    If there are capitalist societies that aren’t lonely then that would indicate that capitalism does not inherently lead to loneliness, or that there are other factors that can address loneliness that are more powerful than capitalism.











  • Nope.

    Those numbers are funding from all sources, not just government funding. None of the private funding sources in the US have disappeared.

    Secondly, while the US spends the most, even as a percentage of GDP, it does not spend that much more on a per GDP basis that places like Germany and Korea. i.e. as American GDP and global power decline and other nations’ rise, their biomedical r&d funding will too which will make up for the loss of American government funding.
