It’s easier to accept when you realize it’s not really their money in the first place.

“The bill just opened the door for imports from Canada. It never did anything to address the major issues that cause US drugs to be more expensive”

Saying you think it’s a shitty bill (it was an amendment) doesn’t make it so. And your argument is based on the precedent that it would harm a state’s economy, which is completely unsubstantiated. Trump has said he supports this very thing, so your claim that he would veto it instantly is equally specious. In short,…

“Yep if you actually break down the people who voted nay, a large portion of them take huge sums of money from the Pharma industry.” FTFY

“In this situation, the bill was put forward with no thought on the economic damage such a move would have on various states where the companies labs and manufacturing plants reside. “

Yes, the economic health of pharmaceutical companies should take precedent over the actual health of his constituents. Great take.

I agree it makes this newsworthy, but not for the reasons everyone seems to have glommed on to. The unsubstantiated smears contained within the report itself are getting the “OMG, huge if true” treatment, when the real story is that the IC is circulating what appears to be utterly bogus tripe produced by an oppo…

Albert. If I had a “dossier” of unverifiable and anonymously sourced bullshit on you, would you publish it? I promise it would be huge if true. You’re arguing that the media has absolutely no mandate to be arbiters of truth. That the media’s only mandate is to vomit shit that’s “newsish” onto the web at high volume.…

Perhaps the most impressive illusion neoliberalism has ever succeeded in perpetually pulling off is that poverty is complicated. That the solutions are byzantine programs that require specially trained wonks to understand. When instead, it could be solved tomorrow. Take money from rich people and give it to poor…

I’ve had a partially torn ACL for going on 20 years now (shit) and used a brace for much of that time. I always worked out without it, but played basketball with it. For awhile there a few years ago, I decided to try playing without it for a season of my rec league. And completely tore my ACL. Whether prophylactic…

Never going to happen. They trot this thing out for the goodwill you talk about. Just showing these at car shows is sufficient to generate that goodwill. It’s marketing.

How many times could you have your Cadillac “stolen” before they booted you out of the program?

These are very nice family vehicles. I ended up going with an Ecoboost Flex because I prefer to go 0 - 60 under 6 seconds in a shoebox for no reason at all.

Resist copaganda.

Let me introduce you to Fran (lol) McCaffery.

I’m inclined not to shit on guys working in shit conditions for a shit company. Who among us has not given no fucks while doing a shitty job? Slow down folks!

On Sunday during our winter storm here in Michigan, I drove past two different salt trucks going the opposite direction that were spreading salt. It sounded like someone was throwing buckets of rocks at the side of my newly purchased vehicle. I also said, “c’mon man!”

If these cars are going to get scrapped, these folks are doing a great service to future vw owners and the planet. That they profit off of it is just icing on the cake.

VW Golf Sportwagen. Can get them in manual and they are quick enough.

Draymond lives solely on the sustenance provided by the takes of his haters. You’re only making him stronger.
