Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

This is America dude. Human life costs $7.25 an hour here. We can't even do anything to keep children safe from their number 1 killer here.

Nobody cares. Those who do care are completely powerless to change anything.

Yes. Mistakes will happen. People will die. People die every day right now. Many of them because they can't afford life saving medicine. I'd happy take a risk on this before I'd saddle my family with $50,000 a month for medicine that you can get in Canada or Mexico for $50.

By this the parent commenter means "car crashes," by the way. Car dependent zoning is literally mass-murdering more children than school shooters ever did and we're doing almost nothing to fix it.

Canada doesn't accept just anyone for no reason.

Can confirm. I tried. Long time ago. Spoke to a lady at a Canadian Embassy.

I didn't meet the education requirements.

Instructions unclear, moved to Alberta and I’m surrounded by Trump flags and austerity measures.
