Was confused by their post too. Not to mention, generics typically say that they’re trying to replicate xyz extended release or xyz extra strength.

Generic meds vs brand meds.

Brands pay a lot for branding, and thus charge more. The formulas are moderated and regulated by the FDA, so unless you enjoy paying for ads, get the generic.

Time to ask it to repeat hello 100000000 times then.

Bigger picture is eat the rich, don’t let them divide us. Age and generation isn’t the problem. It’s a side effect of the income gap. It doesn’t take a saint to empathize, it takes a human. If you spit the same shit back at them, you’re as bad as they are and the next generation will look at us the same way.

Income gap is and always has been the problem. Eat the rich.

Queue “they’re taking our jobs” and “no one wants to work anymore”.

If you’re a government saying we can’t afford to cover healthcare within the country, but also looking to import healthcare from outside the country, then maybe the issue is that healthcare is too expensive and you should force Wall Street to care about better prices/care rather than better stakeholder returns.

Remember we’re probably not talking about a single person, but an company. His company is likely over valued because of how famous his books/seminars are. And yes, while he probably has real estate, it’s probably not the same business. When they come after him, they probably hit one side of the business and not the other.

It’s very possible someone gave him a ton of loans that are undeserved because they overvalued the names. We see it all the time in the stock market.

I think the bigger part is it lowers the barrier to entry for others.

There are spots where, if I wanted to build a 10 br apartment complex, I’d have to have a 20 space parking lot. That means I either need more land or more construction for a parking deck. Expand that out to 100/200 units and you can quickly see where this becomes a barrier.

Not to mention, this further necessitates parking because now my nearest neighbor is further away, which could have simply been a bar or grocery store.

Now I’m not someone that can afford to build something that big, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see new builders move into the market.

So in this case, I cannot open a company called 𝕏 that uses social media to share elons flights, but I could open a company called Elon Tracker and use the logo 𝕏?

Speaking from the pharmacy perspective.

Banks wove their way into drug transactions as a middleman called Pharmacy benefits managers. They stand between insurance and pharmacies to prevent collision, but instead, what we see is insurance companies pay a lot for drugs, while pharmacies see very little for that drug. Over 50% is being taken by the PBM because they’re “preventing” collision. Don’t even get me started on the vertically integrated pharmacies like CVS and United who abuse their position to force consumers to use their pharmacies instead of competitors or use “technological advancements” to keep their prices lower than their competitors.

NYC is currently trying to pass legislation to fix this, but that’s only at the state level.

Wall Street needs to get the fuck out of healthcare and healthcare needs to stay the fuck out of Wall Street. Once a healthcare org talks about share holders, we’re no longer talking about patients.

I definitely had charge anxiety, but my ioniq 6 comes with a simple wall charger that does the job nightly. It’s like plugging in your phone.

Just bought an EV from a local dealer. Went in on Saturday because they had a 2 month used listing on their website for about 10k under MSRP. They told me, oh no that sold, but please check out the new cars. I entertained them and told them they’d need to bring down the price 10k to get me to sign because it’s simply out of my price range. They also mentioned these things (ioniq 6) are selling extremely quickly and they only have a few on the lot.

They insisted and played games for a week, with offers OVER msrp, so I let them waste their time. They pushed me to come in, so as I was about to sign, I told them, actually, no. I need an offer 10k under MSRP or I’m leaving. At this point that was a 15k cut. They’ve now wasted a week of negotiation and suddenly found the used one I originally requested, but it was at their off-site lot.

We drove over there, and it was a large 5 story parking deckcompletely filled to the top. They even had cars parked in front of cars. They tried one last game and made me wait for 3 hours to get it out.

All that is to say, let the fuckers bleed. If they can’t afford Christmas, maybe they need to learn what the fuck capitalism really means. If they can’t afford new years, it’s time to make a new resolution and if they can’t afford spring break, it’s time to find a new job.

If you kill hospitals, you kill a generation.

I go to concerts/look up who’s touring with the band. It ends up being more than the subscription cost, but it goes to the venue and band rather than Spotify and Joe Rogan.

To add, you have to become a partner before ever seeing a penny, which means you’ve fronted all the start up costs.

Not just that, imagine something with a lot of users like universities or hotels. Who the hell is supposed to take accountability there?

PPP was notoriously fraudulent. Big corps we’re taking PPP loans

You mean never get awoken in the middle of the night by a dying fire alarm? That’s got to be at least bottom of A tier.

I replaced it with fuck spez. Half the posts got flagged, and the other half will sit there for future answer seekers to find :)

Exactly, thanks to Lemmy, I now face a life dilemma of either scrolling the same posts for an hour or starting my day. Fuck.

If enough people program bots to repost to Lemmy, literally nothing. Right now, reddit’s only success over Lemmy is historical conversations/recommendations/tips.
