Government isn't supposed to make money like a business.
It's supposed to serve the people.
The whole point of taxes is for govt to do things to support society that cannot be run as a business.
Govt raises money through taxes.
In most nations, the rich pay more.
That's fair.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

I was trying to explain to my brother that statins don't carry a risk of cognitive side effects, when he (correctly) pointed out that there was a box label suggesting that they do.
What's the backstory here? Why do they have that warning?

![Cognitive effects
Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses have concluded that the available evidence does not support an association between statin use and cognitive decline.[77][78][79][80][81] A 2010 meta-review of medical trials involving over 65,000 people concluded that Statins decreased the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and even improved cognitive impairment in some cases.[29][needs update] Additionally, both the Patient-Centered Research into Outcomes Stroke Patients Prefer and Effectiveness Research (PROSPER) study[82] and the Health Protection Study (HPS) demonstrated that simvastatin and pravastatin did not affect cognition for patients with risk factors for, or a history of, vascular diseases.[41]
There are reports of reversible cognitive impairment with statins.[83] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) package insert on statins includes a warning about the potential for non-serious and reversible cognitive side effects with the medication (memory loss, confusion).[84]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73aicoale2mqwrap63rdzwep/bafkreidqivizpbtwx3vmempdrzqkrczllnw2yh2vxuybpqlw5jnk6kt2cy@jpeg)
