This is all government enabled. Lantus launched in 1999 at $38 a vial cash. It has 3 other competitors in the long acting insulin market and it's now several hundred dollars a vial. How? George W. Bush and Barack Obama's signature health care laws stated that the government wouldn't negotiate drug prices and, unsurprising to anyone who understands economics, the corporations who paid heavily to get that wording into law raised their prices, hurting Americans.

And every last fscker in Washington knows this. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act acknowledges it by stating that the Feds will start negitotiating drug prices....on 5 drugs in 2025 and up to 20 by 2030. Thanks for nothing.

You got an experimental drug going after amyloid plaques and the amyloid plaque data as a cause of alzheimer's is under significant scrutiny.

Demolishing buildings and putting new ones up produces a metric f-ton of carbon. The greenest buildings are the ones with the longest life.

The person that valued the truck over their life seems to have died. Not sure what your point is.

The schools aren't massively under resourced. They're massively over administratored.

I live in Alabama. We're not known for spending a lot of money on kids.

Our state spends about $8900 a kid a year and our average classroom size is 29. $8900 x 29 = $258,100 per classroom.

Other states metrics look just as bad.

The department of education has been a measurable failure since its inception.

Gotta let these young whippersnappers feel the pain of trying to uninstall that bastage.

DTCA really helped destigmatize erectile dysfunction and depression amongst the general population.

This whole situation is precisely because of government intervention.

You have the regulatory burden driving up costs known as the FDA.

Then you have George Bush's Medicare Part D where Big Pharma wrote the law and said the largest purchaser won't negotiate drug prices - so pharmaceutical companies are then free to raise prices because the largest purchaser will pay whatever.

Then Barak Obama's ACA implemented the same language from Medicare Part D in the commercial space and drug inflation really took off.

And then the Biden administration undid that language - kind of. In a few years... For 10 drugs at first then up to 20. Big whoop.

10,000 is nice but it's not generational wealth and does little to nothing long term.

Pot, kettle. ;p

Just seeing his user number made me feel really old.

Good thing Starlink gonna do what the government couldn't.

Who ever said Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc is anonymous currency?

There are anonymous currencies. They're fungible.

Those are rookie numbers.

Now do the US government.
