Maturing is realising that absolutely nothing of substance is happening here.

A false pressure valve is being released, to reset public anger so as to buy additional years of time to implement an agenda that was decided long ago, elsewhere. The frontman is utterly expendable.

[Forest Park Pharmacy @ForestParkPharm]

My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.

A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."

The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.

So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.

Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.

My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.

Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.

This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.

Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.

That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.

The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.

This man was told his lost dog was spotted in a local field. This is what happened when he picked him up

@SamCKx Don't worry, he'll be able to spend much more time with those he cares about - gay male Ukrainian prostitutes.

This is a wild victory lap.

Step 1 - essentially legalize all drugs - overdose deaths skyrocket.
Step 2 - Criminalize illicit drugs again - overdose deaths drop by half.
Step 3 - take credit only for step 2.

I am once again reminding Americans that we share a 5500-mile, unsecurable border with our northern neighbor, and it's going to be a serious national security problem if they keep going increasingly retarded.

@HumzaYousaf @RupertLowe10 Motive unclear. Mental health episode.

[DougieOh @DougieOh]

@Bushra1Shaikh Something happened in Edinburgh?

Don't think so, mate.

[Max Sterling @MaxSterlingJr]

This is a mental health incident, the man is clearly not fit to stand trial

I’ve also heard he was called a cracker and therefore we must see arrests for hate speech to find out if this was true.

[Paul Weston @PWestoff]

Starmer: "The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred." Contempt of Court Act 1981:

"Publications that create a substantial risk of serious prejudice to active criminal proceedings can amount to contempt. This includes public comments that risk influencing jurors, witnesses, or the administration of justice."

MOTIVE is often a key element the prosecution must prove. Commenting on it publicly — especially from the Prime Minister — can be seen as pre-judging or endorsing one side’s narrative before evidence is tested in court. High-profile comments carry extra weight because they reach a wide audience and could affect potential jurors or public perception.

Starmer has stated the motive was anti-Muslim hatred. He has acted, as PM, for the prosecution. Ditto the police.

Do your job @metpoliceuk and arrest Starmer. There cannot be one law for us and a different law for them.

@Keir_Starmer "Suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred"

I don't think he has, mate.

🚨 According to the current Pardon Attorney of the US, Anthony Fauci was begging for a pardon literally minutes before the change of powers on January 20th.

On the morning of the inauguration Fauci was emailing the Biden Administration for a pardon. What crimes did Fauci commit?

🚨🇬🇧 Bro cleaned all of this rubbish near London voluntarily & faces up to 2 years in prison

"He was operating heavy machinery and modifying a waterway without a permit" — UK police

‼️But, I guess, the real reason for his arrest was this statement:

"This river's been left to rot by the authorities, filling up with silt and rubbish and covered in knotweed. We removed decades of filth, silt, rubbish, and invasive species. We've got a message to the Environment Agency: COME HERE & DO YOUR JOB!"
