Thanks, but I couldn't figure out where in Flatseal this would be possible.

However I managed via the Discover software center, you can actually select to install from flathub or flathub (user), the first option seems to install it for all users.

Woah, thanks for that. Didn't have time yet to look into it and this is quite helpful!

I see, thanks. Then I will lookup how to install some apps globally. Won't need everything but a base set of apps that all users will need.

Yeah I get what you are saying, you are not wrong. But I have replied to a different person who said this specifically:

we'd have a research arm of the FDA that was employing scientists/chemists to develop drugs for the most basic health needs of its citizens and dispensing them at cost to keep drugs affordable but developing cures versus disease maintenance drugs

That is not just vaccines for me. All vaccines are drugs but not all drugs are vaccines.

And that is surely way to much to handle for the government. There isn't even a single large pharma company that does all that.

Yeah, how many different vaccines was that? Now multiply by however many different diseases you want to cure and take into account that some diseases require medicines to be tested in very lengthy clinical trials.

That is still a huge step up from the 31.6 billion you quote.

I am not sure you are aware of the immense costs to develop new drugs for diseases. At least that's what your comment sounds like, making new drugs. To do that as a state entity is completely unrealistic as it would take a massive investment from the government. Most drugs developed also fail at some stage of the process, meaning you lost all that money and work on it.

Now, if you meant that the government should produce already established basic drugs that are known to work, sell those at cost, yes, that would be a very sensible approach.

???

This is search. Lemmy isn't search.

That is not even it. It is about finding that novel thing that will lead research direction of a certain topic for years to come. To be THE expert that found THAT thing that could finally cure Alzheimer's. Not denying for some it is not also about money.
