All of these links say yes, it's a law that the sale and production of synthetic meat is banned in Italy.

They do it to avoid a libel lawsuit.
We need swift punishment when they refuse a court order. I'm pretty sure that's easy to prove and wouldn't need a drawn out trial.
What would fix a lot of this would be a mechanism where the people could vote to remove someone from a federal position
A vote of no confidence and we get to reelect Congress?
Term limits would help too.
Term limits only help when you make politics about the issues rather than who has the most money to get noticed. Make the term limits too short and all you do is give it to the people with the most money considering our politicians currently spend half their time fund raising for their next election.
democratic process has failed us
This isn't the fault of the democratic process, but allowing money to be speech, companies to be people, and the oligarchy to take over.
Or you know.... You like children, want to continue the species, and have the biological drive to procreate.
Because it's a natural consequence of high education, lack of benefit for having a lot of kids, and our overall population having gotten too high.
Human rights abuses, but it's the US so they get to do what they want.
He did a lot with the ACA, but everyone ignored it.
Also new this year, families who may not have previously been eligible for tax credits may now be eligible for financial assistance – for the first time ever – thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration. Earlier this month, the Administration finalized a rule which will help about 1 million Americans who are offered employer insurance either gain coverage or see their coverage become more affordable through the Marketplace. To take advantage of the new policy, families who have found employer insurance unaffordable in the past should look at new opportunities for savings on HealthCare.gov.
To help connect people to coverage, the Biden-Harris Administration also made the single largest investment ever in the Navigators program. The $98.9 million this year builds on the Administration’s quadrupling of Navigators last year, which helped contribute to the record- breaking 14.5 million people who signed up for 2022 health care coverage through the Marketplaces, including nearly 6 million people who newly gained coverage. This continuation of historic levels of funding will help Navigators continue their work informing consumers about the enhanced tax credits and coverage available on HealthCare.gov.
There's also this link above.
Making insurance make more sense.
With standardized maximum out-of-pocket limitations, deductibles, and cost-sharing features, consumers will be able to more directly compare other important plan attributes, such as premiums, provider networks, prescription drug coverage, and quality ratings when choosing a plan.
Today, President Biden announced a series of new actions under a core pillar of his “Bidenomics” agenda to lower health care costs and crack down on surprise junk fees for American families and consumers. Since the beginning of his Administration, President Biden has passed historic legislation to lower health care costs for tens of millions of Americans, took on Big Pharma to finally allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, and took action to eliminate hidden fees in every sector of the economy. Today, the Administration is taking additional steps to continue to deliver on those promises.
But Biden hasn't single handedly created fully socialized healthcare for every person so nothing else matters. Perfection or fail.
You get down voted because there's no other way with our current election set up and, for all intents and purposes, two parties unless a massive amount of people vote third party. The only other option is to slowly change to another voting system.
You're right. Everything you listed is accurate and needs to be fixed and won't until we fix voting.
Ahhh!!! One is actively fascist and their front runner for the next presidential election openly says he wants to be a dictator, but yeah, both sides are just interested in offending each other. Uh huh.
Huh, I didn't know that Ukraine was trying to take over Russia and that Russia was in danger of not existing anymore.
