The U.S. House of Representatives introduced a bill Thursday which would loosen Obama-era regulations on e-cigarettes. The proposal was brought about by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) of California, a vocal and longtime supporter of the use of e-cigarettes, colloquially known as “vapes.” Under Barack Obama, the Food and Drug Administration began classifying e-cigarettes as tobacco
A tragedy occurred at the federally funded Jessie Trice Community Health Center when baby Earl Reese-Thornton was born with a severe brain injury after Dr. Atogho failed to offer and perform a C-section and “continued the administration of the contraindicated delivery drug Pitocin.” Fortunately, the law firm, Mallard & Sharp, P.A., that represented the heartbroken parents, won a “$33.8 million verdict on behalf of a brain damaged baby,” and the Court found that “Dr. Atogho’s failure to offer and perform a C-section was gross negligence and caused the brain injury that resulted in baby Earl Reese-Thornton requiring 24-hour care for the remainder of his life.”

Not only would these changes make widgets cheaper for people with lower incomes (like most of us were destined to become), we were just transitioning into a service economy, and new jobs would be easy to find as long as we were ready to retrain and think outside the box.
