@Eponine1973 @SquidSwenson007 @AdrianneCurry I love this for your parents must. You seem to be a very loving son. ♥️

[Michelle @ShellBellMiller]

@AdrianneCurry I disagree. My 2 kids & most of their friends own homes. I’m not blind to the fact that things are awful for this generation. But demonizing the boomers isn’t the answer. It smacks of entitlement. BTW, I was born the last day of the boomer generation, so I’m more of an Xer lol.

[Joshua Smith from Doomscroll @JoshuaAtLarge]

Aaron Rodgers really let the entire mainstream media scream into the void for more than two straight years over his "immunization status," waited until everyone thought he was done, and then dropped a four minute napalm bomb on Pat McAfee’s show while wearing a t-shirt that probably costs $12

Now every blue check journalist who spent 24 months writing 3,000 word op eds about his darkness retreats is currently punching drywall and screaming at their producer.

He didn't even hire a PR firm. He just sat in his seat, grabbed a mic, and single handedly made the entire media apparatus look like a hysterical ex. Elite level trolling.

@AdrianTwittman @liz_churchill10 Speaking of science deniers…

[Michelle @ShellBellMiller]

@xnemma292 @liz_churchill10 Nope.

But if a similar scenario occurred again, I would defend your right NOT to take it. And you would probably ostracize non-vaxxers again. That’s the major difference between us. I’m sorry you learned absolutely nothing.

@liz_churchill10 Editors are going to save the world. It’s easy to forget how we were treated until you see the compilation.

Editors make it possible to send a reminder to those who suddenly have bad memories in 2026.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Read this Fauci diary entry closely. Officials refused to admit the vaccine wasn’t stopping the spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates. That is not science. It is a cover-up to justify coercion.

[Dr. Jeff Barke @RX_forLiberty]

During COVID, I was called a quack. I was silenced. I was denigrated. The medical board was even alerted in an attempt to remove my medical license.

I spoke out against masking, which I believe has no scientific evidence to prevent the spread of a respiratory viral illness.

I spoke in favor of hydroxychloroquine first, and ivermectin, both of which have been around for generations and have PROVEN safety records.

I spoke out against the experimental mRNA COVID 💉, which I believe is now showing serious safety concerns, including what I describe as turbo cancers.

I chose to exercise my First Amendment right to speak out against what I believe is fraud!

Fraud in science, fraud in government, and to advocate for informed consent in an effort to bring you the truth.

If you believe in asking questions, thinking critically, and protecting informed consent, give me a follow and share this with your friends and family.

I smell a rat. The guy with all the answers had no answers. He’s got money and arrogance and he’s abusing the fifth amendment. And he’s telling Americans to go to hell.

🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️: “Conservative activist CJ Pearson suggested USA Today columnist Nancy Armour’s column bizarrely linking WNBA star Caitlin Clark to a racist 1955 murder and claiming a large chunk of her fans are white nationalists was so atrocious she must have been drunk when she wrote it.”

Pharmacist handed me someone else's medication and I didn't realize until I got home.

Opened the bag. Pills I'd never seen before. Name on the bottle said "Robert Chen."

I'm not Robert Chen.

Drove back. Different pharmacist at the counter.

Me: Wrong medication. This is for Robert Chen.

Her: Let me check.

She scanned it.

Her: System says Robert Chen picked this up twenty minutes ago.

Me: I picked it up. I'm David Park.

Her: Did you show ID?

Me: Nobody asked for ID.

She called the guy who'd helped me over. He looked panicked.

Him: I definitely checked ID.

Me: You asked my name and handed me a bag.

Him: (pause) Oh no.

Turned out Robert Chen picked up my medication at the same time. Same confusion. Nobody checked anything properly.

Her: I'll call Mr. Chen.

She called him on speaker.

Robert: Hello?

Her: Did you pick up your prescription today?

Robert: Yes, why?

Her: Can you check the name on the bottle?

Robert: (pause) This says David Park.

Her: You're Robert Chen?

Robert: Yes.

Her: And David Park is here with your medication.

Robert: (laughed) How did this happen?

Her: We're very sorry. Can you come back?

Robert: I'm forty minutes away. Can David just bring it to me and we swap?

She looked uncomfortable but agreed.

Drove to his house. He opened the door holding my medication and a coffee mug.

Robert: This is ridiculous.

Me: Completely.

We swapped bags. He invited me in for coffee. Seemed rude to refuse.

Talked for an hour. He told me about his daughter in Portland. I told him about my job.

Robert: Want my number in case they mess up again?

Me: You think they will?

Robert: That guy seemed very flustered.

He texted me two weeks later asking if I wanted to meet at the pharmacy to double-check our prescriptions.

We did. Both correct this time.

Got coffee after anyway.

We've been meeting for coffee every other Thursday for three months now.

My girlfriend thinks it's weird I'm friends with a seventy-year-old I met through a pharmacy error.

But Robert gives better advice than most of my actual friends.

Plus we both switched to CVS.

Just in case.

[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.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.

And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."

And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."

And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."

That's the U.S. government.

[Supersonic Redhead🛫 @Supersonic_Red]

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.

And honestly, it explains a lot.

We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.

We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.

That is not a small thing.

People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.

Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.

We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.

We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.

We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.

We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.

And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.

That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.

A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.

We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.

That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.

But we exist.

We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.

And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.
