I wish we would use a better measure than money to describe the societal impact of health problems.
Especially the ones we inflict upon ourselves and each other.
Relevant scene:
I was referring to the article’s publisher, who chose the headline. Not to you.
Hmm… A name poorly chosen, or deliberately chosen for clicks?
People want democracy.
Authoritarian state known for overreach tries to kidnap critics living in other countries.
I hope these people manage to stay safe.
Russia’s Ministry of Justice’s list of extremist materials spans more than 500 pages and contains over 5,000 entries. These include songs that praise Ukraine and blog posts by the feminist rock band Pussy Riot.

Friendly reminder that the US needs to replace its fundamentally broken first-past-the-post voting system.
WeChat or Alipay
A bad thing, then.
unintentional arson
It seems somebody is using words without knowing what they mean.
That’s internal US politics that I have no interest in starting my day with.
The exposition that you’ve latched onto is typical of news articles everywhere. As with countless others, the article conveys more than that. You don’t have to value the exposition. The headline conveniently gives you all you need in order to decide whether to skip it.

We’re discussing things purchased at retail, as stated in the first sentence of the article and indicated in my comment by the word scalping. Not wholesale markets.
How about we make scalping of anything illegal everywhere, with a mandatory punishment of community service hours, valued at minimum wage, until the scalper pays back double their cumulative scalping profits?

That’s quite a leap of reasoning.
