A quotation from Roosevelt

The individualism which finds its expression in the abuse of physical force is checked very early in the growth of civilization, and we of to-day should in our turn strive to shackle or destroy that individualism which triumphs by greed and cunning, which exploits the weak by craft instead of ruling them by brutality.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

When Two-For-One Isn’t Such A Good Deal

Some good thoughts on the mess this may create:

the so-called "Two-For-One Rule" executive order that Donald Trump signed in 2017 that would require all government agencies to eliminate two existing regulations for every new one they propose. If you're among those who believe Americans are over-regulated, which is virtually everyone, it sounds like a great way to get rid of pointless red tape. If you run a complex global business that needs a nimble bureaucracy as a partner it's a nightmare.

"Food and chemical companies are permitted to approve the use of new potentially harmful additives and other substances in snacks, drinks and more without the Food and Drug Administration's review and approval -- all thanks to a regulatory loophole known as the GRAS rule."

"GRAS, or 'generally recognized as safe,' is a food category created by Congress in 1958. The GRAS designation was intended to apply to ingredients widely recognized to be safe, such as salt, water, yeast and chicken breast."

"The GRAS rule, finalized in 1997, created a voluntary notification system that lets manufacturers bypass federal regulators' review. Companies can identify and use new GRAS ingredients but are not required to share this information with the FDA."

"Since 2000, food and chemical companies have used the GRAS loophole to approve 99 percent of new food chemicals, according to a 2022 EWG analysis. It leaves both the public and the FDA in the dark about the substances in our food."

"Experts estimate more than 1,000 GRAS substances have entered the food supply without FDA or public knowledge."

I never heard of this. Wonder if there is any connection with cancer rates in the population.

What is GRAS? - EWG

Jack Kang, vice president of #business #development at #SiFive, a Santa Clara, #California - based startup using RISC-V, said potential U.S. #government #restrictions on American companies regarding RISC-V would be a "tremendous tragedy."

"It would be like banning us from working on the internet," Kang said. "It would be a huge mistake in terms of technology, leadership, innovation and companies and jobs that are being created."
