    Cool, cool.

    Just one question.

    What is a 21 CFR 812 IDE?

    Investigational device exemption. You can use a device for whatever crazy thing and publish data supporting your crazy use to track towards a premarket or full application, which is great in theory since that means there's at least some clinical data about the new use. In practice, the process is surrounded by red tape easy enough for companies to navigate through but difficult for independent investigators who will require, among other things, company internal documents summarizing all the research and FDA records regarding the device, which the FDA is not free to give. This means third party researchers cannot submit an IDE without an explicit blessing from the company of the device they're researching. Furthermore, the FDA audit framework is designed to inspect companies, and they go crazy nuts when auditing a university or research organization that does not own or manufacture the device, finding violation after violation because the process basically assumes that only companies will interact with the FDA. The bureaucracy is the weakest when determining if the study described in the IDE is terrible or not.

    In summary, the FDA IDE process allows fast tracking of potentially crappy studies by companies to support a PMA or (501)k submission by just checking a box without a thorough analysis of study design or results while making it unintuitive and hard for independent investigators with well designed studies to engage in the same process.

    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    I'm actually a little confused (maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing). Looking at the wikipedia article for the list of amendments to the US constitution, and scrolling down to the table showing which states ratified what amendment, the 19th is shown as all states but Alaska and Hawaii having ratified the 19th amendment (as the 19th was ratified before those two states were officially part of the union). Shoot, according to the chart, even Florida ratified it (and they were specifically called out in the video).

    Are we talking about a different kind of ratification process? Is this one of those Federal vs. State things?

    They were like a couple votes in House of Delegates seats from doing it in this session. If Dems take the State House this fall (I think?) there's a decent chance. Then we'd need the enabling legislation to extend the deadline from Congress.

    You would think it's simple, right? But as pointed out by Oliver, the issue was highjacked by crazy people who try to say the amendment would lead to lots of "unintended" consequences.
    One brought up frequently is abortion, that the ERA would hinder the Right's ability to hinder and outlaw abortion.

    I remember reading the articles after Virginia unsuccessfully tried to pass the Amendment earlier this year (February).

    I found some articles from then, and here are some quote from the opponents:
    Opponents said it's an unnecessary measure that would, among other things, loosen abortion regulations.
    Republicans there said ratifying the ERA could lead to a raft of unintended consequences, including making it harder for women-owned businesses to win state contracts.

    That second one is a bit loopy, but I guess the idea is that you wouldn't be able show preference to women owned businesses over men owned businesses in contracting?

    Missouri basically fought its own civil war with the union side also winning. They had two competing governments and everything.

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Jon is arguing a slight straw man there in that it was not a hearing before the entire Judiciary Committee (why is this bill in Judiciary though?) but the subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, so it's a smaller body but held in the full room where Judiciary usually meets. 15 members on the subcommittee. Rep. Cohen says all eight Democrats were there. I recognized him and Jamie Raskin for sure. The others are Swalwell, Scanlon, Dean, Garcia, Escobar, and Lee. Dunno if the GOP reps were there. Would have been Johnson, Gohmert, Jordan, Reschenthaler, Cline, and Armstrong.

    Cross posting that from health care.

    Missouri basically fought its own civil war with the union side also winning. They had two competing governments and everything.

    IIRC, the newly elected govenor, Clairborne Jackson, planned to have Missouri succeed despite being elected promising not to do exactly that, but then Francis Preston Jr (who dispite being a very, very racist man, was a staunch unionist) caught wind and with the help of the US army under Nathaniel Lyon moved the arsenal in St. Louis to Illinois so Jackson couldn't claim it. Once it became obvious what was happening the state Legislature voted Jackson out of office, but he refused and tried to declare Missouri as the newest Confederate state. Preston's unionist milita and Lyon eventually kicked Jackson first out of Jefferson City, and then drove him out of the state into Arkansas, where he stayed as the self-proclaimed Governor-in-exile until his death a year later.

    Yet despite this amazing story, I never heard about it at all in school in Missouri, and only found out about it less than a year ago.

    I blame Ride with the Devil and the actual events that inspire it for Missouri's rep of barely Unionist (that, and the whole Govenor in Exile thing). There were probably many examples of people living on one side fighting for the other, but I don't know of any such other group that went out of their way to try and destroy an entire town in doing so.

    I’m not sure how much of the “feminist” opposition to the ERA was real and how much was false flag nonsense, but yes it would mean that any laws advantaging women specifically would then have to meet higher standards of scrutiny. Points given to women-owned businesses in government contracting are just one example. Excluding women from selective service is another.

    So while I think it’s something that’s unfortunately needed, and should get ratified, I do believe it may have some unintended negative impacts for women. Less in 2019 than fifty years ago. But still nonzero.

    So I've always just paid for HBO but the number of shows I watch has sort of dwindled over the years. I still watch Real Time and now Last Week Tonight, occasionally a movie or special.

    Does LWT just post the main story every Monday? I never watch the clips posted here but am now noticing they're always 20ish minutes long. That's a lot of confidence in the market they hold that people want to subscribe to HBO even when it's not actually necessary.

    Also much of the side content gets uploaded. Not necessarily with the blessing of HBO, but there definitely seems to be an understanding and a desire to spread the news of the show as far as they can.

    Yeah sorry not sorry, Mitch. That people suspect that you might not do the right thing? Yeah, that's because there's fucking precedent for that.

    That it is capped, and isn't automatically just folded into the budget, and instead needs to keep getting renewed, is all the evidence I need that once they feel they can justify it, or that they can at least hide it from view, they'll drop it.

    That Jon Stewart won't let them, is just awesome of him. This isn't the first time he's had to do this. He won't forget, and he's making sure Congress aren't allowed to.
