It’s all fun and games until you realize discovery is a part of a lawsuit
Did their lawyers even pass the bar?

I hear that MAGA hats have chemicals that leach into your brain and make you a complete idiot.
Eh, massive correlation is still not causation. No matter how massive.

Johnson & Johnson should just say "Our bad. We'll stop selling all our products in your state!"
Then sit back & watch the fallout

So glad I left that shithole state. Tired of Ken "Securities Fraud" Paxton wasting my tax dollars on frivolous bullshit like this.
This is upsetting to me.
I’m barely grasping my spot on the AuADHD space, and now it’s been politicized into a single dimensional disease Republicans are using to virtue signal, like the whole vaccine “debate.”
And I’m in freaking Texas. It’s not as Republican as y’all think, especially in the big metros, but somehow we got Paxton in.
And apparently you guys forgot about previous frivolous lawsuits. Huge media conglomerates, and other institutions, settled with the Trump DoJ because they saw them for what they are: a shake down. “Pay us, or you will find political trouble.”
That’s what’s happening.
The merits do not matter. There is no “fight” here.
J&J is going to settle with Texas and maybe others so MAGA doesn’t persecute them outside the lawsuit.
I feel ya, and feel for ya. Good luck and help it together, looking forward to cleaning up with you all after this Cheeto colored fuck dies.

Worst of all is that this probably will end in a settlement where the US government gets to claim they were right in exchange for just a "small" donation to the US government
That's what colleges and networks were doing for a while, but since Kimmel stood up to them and won BIG, potential victims have been pushing back. Colleges are refusing money with strings, for one thing.
If J&J is smart (and it's not clear that they are, although they are well-established to be evil), they'll refuse to settle.
Holy fuck, facts don't care about your feelings has turned into let's litigate on my feelings
My feelings don't care about your facts!
Corelation is not causation. What a stupid country I was born to
It’s not even correlation, it’s just made up bullshit
Iirc, this idea comes from a study that found people who used Tylenol while pregnant actually did have a slightly heightened chance of birthing an autistic child. However, that study did not in any way address why this was the case, so incurious fools take it at face value and never examine things any further than that.
This means that there is some very small degree of corelation, even if that corelation has failed to hold water when put to later tests. One of the many, many things that these idiots refuse to look in the eye is that this data point is a singular, contextless point that has way more evidence against than there is for.
I hear where you're coming from, but this one wasn't ripped out of thin air, making it that much more annoying to talk these people out of. So it's not just made up bullshit, but that is still about 99.99% of it.
Yeah, it's much more probable that something that you take tylenol for is (one of) the culprit(s) here, not tylenol itself. Because the average US resident does not have the ability to think such complex thoughts, RFK is a nutjob and Paxton is corrupt as fuck, you get result like this. It's embarrassing to watch.

We should start posting that 3.2% of children watching Trump on TV have developed autism, therefor Trump is using subliminal messaging and is dangerous to their kids. They may not care that a pedophile is in office, but mention subliminal messaging and they'll go crazy.
The reasons I've concluded why they hate us ND folk:
-
We are too intelligent
-
We reject authority
-
We look at stupid people like they're stupid
-
We make jokes that non-stupid people laugh at
-
Society is dependent on us for any sort of luxury
- ND folk make for an easy scapegoat for excuses to grab at yet more power.
With these kinds of people, it's rarely personal. They only care what these actions can do for them, not how those actions affect others, whether it's part of their in group or not.
- Not really
- Not always
- Also at intelligent people sometimes
- We also make a lot of shitty jokes that ain't funny
- Not by a long shot
