It wasn’t even invented by an American and it was invented in a Canadian University lol. How can anyone have a copyright?

Iirc it’s a copyright on either an improved process or an improved variation of the original manufactured insulin. I’ve heard some say that the “cheap stuff” doesn’t work as well as the expensive stuff. I haven’t looked into it very deep but iirc the super basic insulin, ie the one under the original open anti-patent is typically pretty cheap but it’s overall less effective or not as long lasting.

I’d love for a diabetic Comrade to step in and explain this better.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
