Kamala not promising the teamsters to keep Lina Khan is one of the most insane unforced L's of a campaign that consisted entirely of unforced L's I swear to god

If anything happens - how long until the Trump administration blocks the lowered price? And then - of course - the dems will say they tried and... Vote!

Edit

Can a judge step in and kill the lowered price?

I think if somebody drops something heavy and the noise removed the parliamentarian then they have to shred the bill

I assume Trump forgot all about the parliamentarian. If one day soon seemingly out of the blue he starts saying how the GOP needs to fire the parliamentarian on "day one" of his administration - we'll know he saw them mentioned on Fox News or somebody in real life reminded him that the parliamentarian exists or or he saw a parliamentarian joke on Hexbear.

I love to beg, plead, and grovel for what should already be a human right.

Fools think vaccine series at $100-1000/each per person per lifetime is where the money get made....

When I see the Breztri has 120 doses/device I already know what the dose is going to be:

The usual Breztri Aerosphere dosage for adults with COPD is 2 puffs (sprays) twice per day.

4 doses/day x 30 days = 120/device ; $676 = 1 month supply

= $8112/year

In the marketing materials the largest number 52% is attribute to "one study of people with COPD,† most of whom did not have a history of flare-ups in the last year". So people who are not really very sick, if you can get them started on some med now they could be on it for 10 or 20 years! Others will get added along the way so this cost will be double, trippled, etc; and this for just ONE disease.

So basically the way these things work is they don't necessarily get a patent on any actual new drugs, you can use any old drugs. (Sometimes they make new drug though.) They make the little plasticdoohicky you squeeze to get the medication, and the mix of medications. (This is a very rudimentary understanding, please correct me if you know better details.)

Under communism, the plastic doohickies should be reusable and refillable.

After working for the US government for a few years now, the second they start talking about "fighting" and not "results" is a huge fucking red flag.

They can fix the issue, they are just choosing not to and are finding their parliamentarian to kill it.

"fighting" and not "results"

Ah, that's it. I couldn't put my finger on why Bluesky libs annoy me 10x as much as r/politics libs. They love this shit...

They get so mad at me when I ask the tiny question "How?" Also - it doesn't help that I have a visceral hatred of the BIG FONT IMAGE. I don't know why I hate it so much but I do.
