HAPPY LABOR DAY

theconversation.com

The first Labor Day occurred in 1882 in New York City under the direction of that city’s Central Labor Union.

You're a commie cocksucker but we still be homiez lulz

It was entrepreneurial capitalists that embraced technological innovations who paved the way for a 40 hour work week, not socialists

Not really. Things like satellites space exploration contact lenses insulin are socialist advancements.

This is a day for the workers in the US. Without whom there would be nothing.

Not sure why you're calling insulin "socialism."

Insulin was initially discovered in a research label and the patents sold for a dollar, but pharmaceutical companies have continuously improved on it, by developing formulations for better glucose control, more convenient injection regimens, fewer side effects, coformulations with other non-insulin drugs for better diabetes control, pumps for continuous infusion, longer duration, and more. They're as different from the initial insulin purified from cow pancreases as the Model T is to a Honda Accord.

For a long time, insulin was approved under the NDA (small molecule) pathway rather than the BLA (biologics) pathway, even if it's a biologic, which kept generic versions off the market. This has already brought the costs down.

The Chinese invented insulin

Anyways nice to see you shit on workers too

Oh Icee. Any time I think to engage you on an intellectual level, you show you just want to stir shit. I'll make a good faith response for the sake of others on this thread who might want to learn something.

Note I didn't say anything about "workers," not unless workers = socialism, and only there I said one of your examples was a touch misleading.

Insulin was discovered by three Canadian scientists who noticed what cells were destroyed in type 1 diabetes. It wasn't synthetic, it was purified from cow pancreases.
diabetes.org.uk.

The article you cite isn't the discoverer of insulin, he was the first person to synthesize it from scratch. That's a much different advance. Oh, and another own-goal, your own article says he was persecuted by Mao, who "considered the Nobel Prize a symbol of Western decadence." Some socialist!

Can you spot iceydougee in the video?

The first synthetic insulin is a huge socialist advancement. Don't belittle it

Well of course you can't but he's there in spirit Lulz

For my homie iceydougster.
Some inspiration while you troll tuscl.
Since you troll 20 hours a day you'll have to play it twice Lulz

10 Hours of Chinese Communist Music

Icee, you don't know the relevant significance of jack shit. You probably Googled "socialist accomplishments" and came right here to start shit.

I've been in and around drug development for decades. As is clear from our posts, I was pulling all-nighters to study and analyze this stuff while you were jerking off in the back of Mrs. Johnson's remedial science class.

Total chemical synthesis is a different discipline than drug discovery. These products are already well known--they might be difficult to isolate from nature, hard to find, or scientists just want to improve them. But it's the same molecule.

Again, the communists forced Wang to shut down his research for ten years and study Mao Zedong thought. Right from your article.

Wang Ying Lai is a hero for what he did. Go suck corporate dick elsewhere. Don't ruin a labor day thread

^ Waah waah how dare Tetradon sully my thread with facts!

Wang Yinglai was a great scientist who suffered persecution from communists, as you shared with us.

Chinese space exploration

Wang accomplished what he did under socialism

Other great socialist accomplishments

In 1993, Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter, wrote that "the failed effort to build communism in the twentieth century consumed the lives of almost 60,000,000."[58]
In 1994, Rummel's controversial book Death by Government included about 110 million people, foreign and domestic, killed by communist democide from 1900 to 1987.[59] This total excluded deaths from the Great Chinese Famine of 1958–1961 due to Rummel's then belief that "although Mao's policies were responsible for the famine, he was misled about it, and finally when he found out, he stopped it and changed his policies."[60][61] Rummel would later revise his estimate from 110 million to about 148 million due to additional information about Mao's culpability in the Great Chinese Famine from Mao: The Unknown Story, including Jon Halliday and Jung Chang's estimated 38 million famine deaths.[60][61]
In 2004, historian Tomislav Dulić criticized Rummel's estimate of the number killed in Tito's Yugoslavia as an overestimation based on the inclusion of low-quality sources, and stated that Rummel's other estimates may suffer from the same problem if he used similar sources for them.[62] Rummel responded with a critique of Dulić's analysis.[63] Karlsson says that Rummel's thesis of "extreme intentionality in Mao" for the famine is "hardly an example of a serious and empirically-based writing of history",[64] and describes Rummel's 61,911,000 estimate for the Soviet Union as being based on "an ideological preunderstanding and speculative and sweeping calculations".[65]
In 1997, historian Stéphane Courtois's introduction to The Black Book of Communism, an impactful yet controversial[52] work written about the history of communism in the 20th century,[66] gave a "rough approximation, based on unofficial estimates". The subtotals listed by Courtois added up to 94.36 million killed.[67] Nicolas Werth and Jean-Louis Margolin, contributing authors to the book, criticized Courtois as obsessed with reaching a 100 million overall total.[68]
In his foreword to the 1999 English edition, Martin Malia wrote that "a grand total of victims variously estimated by contributors to the volume at between 85 million and 100 million."[69] Historian Michael David-Fox states that Malia is able to link disparate regimes, from radical Soviet industrialists to the anti-urbanists of the Khmer Rouge, under the guise of a "generic communism" category "defined everywhere down to the common denominator of party movements founded by intellectuals."[70] Courtois' attempt to equate Nazism and communist regimes was not fruitful on both scientific and moral grounds, because such comparisons are generally controversial.[71]
In 2005, professor Benjamin Valentino stated that the number of non-combatants killed by communist regimes in the Soviet Union, China, and Cambodia alone ranged from a low of 21 million to a high of 70 million.[72]
In 2010, professor of economics Steven Rosefielde wrote in Red Holocaust that the internal contradictions of communist regimes caused the killing of approximately 60 million people and perhaps tens of millions more.[73]
In 2012, academic Alex J. Bellamy wrote that a "conservative estimate puts the total number of civilians deliberately killed by communists after the Second World War between 6.7 million and 15.5 million people, with the true figure probably much higher."[74]
In 2014, professor of Chinese politics Julia Strauss wrote that while there was the beginning of a scholarly consensus on figures of around 20 million killed in the Soviet Union and 2–3 million in Cambodia, there was no such consensus on numbers for China.[75]
In 2017, historian Stephen Kotkin wrote in The Wall Street Journal that 65 million people died prematurely under communist regimes according to demographers, and those deaths were a result of "mass deportations, forced labor camps and police-state terror" but mostly "from starvation as a result of its cruel projects of social engineering."[76][77]

Of course Biden called for the expansion of labor unions, it was Labor Day and he tries to be a simpleton on every holiday. Maybe if you worked Icee you could celebrate it too.
