you framed your opinion as the perspective of someone in healthcare and spouse of someone with insight into pharmaceuticals. Why else would you give the preamble with that background if not trying to frame it as if you have some insight that the average person doesn’t? That was all fluff to try to bolster others…

your former job and marriage gives you less than zero insight into how drug pricing works, just like my wife being a nurse gives me zero insight into patient care and my former job at a civil construction company gives me zero understanding of structural engineering.

I work for one of the world’s top pharmaceutical…

The total numbers reflect permitted brewing companies, so I suppose breweries that contract brew would be included, yes. 

If you’re a renter, you pay property tax. You don’t get a bill from the county tax assessor, but part of your rent pays your landlord’s property tax bill.

I mean, it sure *seems* like you’re the one obsessed with Bernie. Weird. This article was just about how Biden is a creepy fuck and how quick so many “WE BELIEVE WOMENNNN” liberals are to be like “Oh wait, a woman of color is accusing a white dude of doing something we literally have video of him doing repeatedly ...…

My recycling fills up twice as fast as my garbage, yet my garbage is picked up once a week and recycling only once every two weeks. This means that if I don’t crush my cans, I will just put them where there is space, my garbage. Change the size of city required bin, change the frequency that they pick it up, let me…

Don’t do this, don’t do that. Rules for how to be a good human.  Seriously, my own personal view here is that nothing will ever change the bulk of what people do - you need to work with how people are. We should work on having sorting robots and machines that can get the job done whether a can is crushed or not. And…

But...they weren’t corporate contributions - they were contributions from people employed by corporations in that sector. It isn’t the same thing. It’s apples and cucumbers.

What do you want us to do - murder him?

This is so infuriating. His reasoning for not paying people a living wage is that they’re going to school as though they don’t need money to afford that. People can’t afford to go to school making 15 an hour let alone 7 this is disgusting.

Does the study separate out women by weight? Like, comparing overweight women who drink diet soda to overweight women who don’t, and non-overweight women who do and don’t? 

“It’s difficult to have laws forced upon you.”

Cool. Move somewhere else? This is a country of laws, the people of the state of Washington voted, democratically, to have these new laws, and it is YOUR job, as an employee of the state, to enforce THOSE laws.

Why is this so difficult? I left SC to get away from shit like…

I was there for a wedding and Brandy Old Fashioneds were a staple of every bar menu. It was the only liquor available at the wedding bar. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO WISCONSIN?!?!?! DO YOU EVEN EXIST?!?! DO YOU SMELL TOAST!?!?

A vegan serving meat doesn’t violate these things either...

“They are entirely different things. Not accommodating a vegan means that the vegan has nothing [they want] to eat. Not accommodating an omnivore means...they can still eat everything there, there just [aren’t things that they want to eat.]”

I believe the point they are making is that they have been to dinners where the host is expected to accommodate someone who is eating a certain diet by choice, but when going to that same person’s dinner, the previously thoughtful host is not given the same thoughtfulness.  It’s kind of rude.

Yes, I’m allergic to bullshit and idiots.  Plus I just don’t like veggies.  I eat meat and animal products as much as I possibly can.  

This is not how jokes work. Some jackass quoting racist propaganda verbatim with zero context is not a joke.

Any news outlet that doesn’t devote at least some time this evening to bringing up those two tweets (from a government agency, no less,) needs a good hard kick in the pants.

Government oversight was deemed non-essential by Durr Furor.
