If anyone is wondering why Canada has lower drug prices than the US, here’s some background on the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board, which regulates prescription drug prices. http://www.pmprb-cepmb.gc.ca/about-us/mandate-and-jurisdiction 

Had Elizabeth run I could have cast a vote for a nationalist, a populist, a thoughtful and honorable person who carries with her no sense of superiority or pretension. She is noble in her actions and usually in her words. Hell, she wrote a personal finance book that is still working its way through my mind.

False Equivalency Alert

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

Hat off to you sir for not going in there once, not twice, but THREE TIMES, to teach people the different ways of dealing with that situation. Very informative, thank you (although I live in Indonesia so won’t be having any similar experiences any time soon).

Yea, when you cede the moral high ground to fucking ARAMARK, you might want to reassess your life.

Baseball is the only sport that actually looks like America.

“Sent from somewhere over the rainbow”

Donald Trump - star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” and ex-owner of the USFL’s Generals franchise - is now the leader of the Free World. I don’t know how a Jewish socialist is so far-fetched.

Yep. Over the last few months I’ve realized through facebook posts that most of the Trump supporters are the idiots who didn’t pay attention in class.

They really aren’t any different than the people in the back of the class in middle school. Always being disruptive and hating authority. Come to think of it, those people never evolved past that.

Thankfully, the Democratic establishment, of all things, may be rejecting this sort of racist pacification of racists.

If people admit that they tacitly supported racism, sexism, xenophobia, religious bigotry, and utterly incomplete policy positions, then, yeah, those people took it seriously. KKK members saw at least a candidate willing to invoke white supremacy for gain, and they voted seriously. If you are not a racist, sexist,…

Fuck the Democratic Party for not actually developing a bench. We were choosing between a flawed candidate (at least in terms of public perception — which is all that matters) and a 75 year old guy who mostly identified as socialist.

For the life of me I’ll never understand why the democrats cleared the decks to anoint a candidate who had already failed miserably in 2008 and who revealed herself to be isolated and utterly out of touch with the electorate.

In fairness, he did embrace an untouchable.

Conservatism: Pushing back against objective reality since St Ronald of Reagan descended from capitalist heaven in the year of our lord, nineteen hundred and eighty.

If “saving my own things” includes my life I’m shoving your ass forward.

I have to ask, why would losing your handbag cost you your job?

Na, the truly critical things are kept in your pockets. Keys, wallet/passport and phone. Everything else you can replace. Everything in your PC should be backed up. The rest of it is not worth risking your life or (more importantly) everyone else to grab and carry a bag as you’re trying to exit a plane that’s on fire.
