FTC challenges 'junk' patents held by 10 drugmakers, incl Novo Nordisk's Ozempic

I’m so impressed with the FTC lately, here is an excellent interview Jon Stewart did with the FTC chair Lina Khan: https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM

I did joke I’m really surprised the vested interests selected someone competent who wants to hold these companies accountable to the public.

There's a lot of talk about "both sides being the same", but the FTC alone has been a night & day difference from previous administrations.

Nobody suggesting that "both sides are the same" has a shred of intellectual honesty.

Declarative moral statements like this are so vacuous. Of course there are intellectually honest people who believe both parties are the same. They may be evaluating or prioritizing the evidence differently, but that doesn't make one side or the other 'dishonest'. Casually impuning the morality of an entire swath of people is rhetoric that drives division and strife, not progress.

For example, yes Bidens FTC is a standout actor, but 'both sides' just voted to perpetuate overseas wars with more American tax dollars. In terms of the American war machine, it's 100% accurate to say both sides are the same.

Then I suppose the appropriate way to phrase this would be "people suggesting both sides are the same need to qualify their statements."
