UPDATE—Just learned that Eli Lilly executives are raging and furious at losing $20 billion in market cap from this stunt with @TwitterBlue. It’s too bad they don’t see their own damn insulin price gouging as the actual problem. Karma @LillyPad, karma.
.@JoyAnnReid: "There is a lot of soul-searching we need to do in Western media about why some wars, and lives, seem to matter more than others, and why some refugees get the welcome mat, while others get the wall." #TheReidOut
ATROCIOUS big pharma price gouging of insulin:
This crying mother can’t afford the $1000 for her son’s insulin.
📌yet, it only costs pharma $5 to produce.
📌Insulin was invented 100 years ago by Fred Banting—who donated patent for $1 to make it free for all.
Let that sink in.

@NYCTBus Kinda ridiculous that passengers had to wait around for 30 mins — no signs posted or online posts about where buses were being detoured to. Meanwhile buses kept passing without stopping.

Gabby Thomas graduated with a neurobiology degree from Harvard, has an interest in racial health disparities and is getting a masters in epidemiology. And tonight won the 200m finals to qualify for the Olympics! Amazing!!!
serious question; how do cobblers (shoe repair) shops stay in business? every city seems to have them. there’s one across from Starbucks near me. Commercial rent here is major $$, how many people get their shoes fixed? how is this still a profitable trade in 2021?
