Why is New York having such a major shift towards Islam? Explain it to me like I’m 5. New York has a large LGBTQ population, a large JEWISH population and last I checked a large FEMALE population. Who’s voting in their elections? I’m very confused.
The max payout for soc sec is $62k per year. For two income earners that’s $125k paid by the federal government annually. I have zero problem helping out the genuinely poor, but that is genuinely insane. Adding a 12.5% flat tax on income to perpetuate that system is crazier.
BREAKING: David Steiner, the US Postmaster General, has informed Congress that USPS will NOT deliver mail-in ballots to states that refuse to comply with Trump's EO, which ensures that people receiving mail-in ballots are US citizens.
Democrat meltdown incoming...
Had a root canal today, but had to come see this for myself.
Have seen a lot of people posting about Indians taking over the Horse Country of Texas (Aubrey/Pilot Point).
I can say Aubrey has surrendered. Pilot Point is heading that way. They already own every gas station.
A few people came up on a couple of Indian guys dumping this shit IN A STATE PARK.
Completely unacceptable.
But H1Bs for the brightest and best.
Our cripple piece of shit governor and blowhard President share equal blame.
Garages are where things are meant to be fixed and also where tools, cars and wood for the cold winter months are stored. They aren’t meant to be empty. They’re meant to be packed like sardines. Period.
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.
If conservatives are so sure being a tradwife is what makes women happiest, then why are they hiding the middle aged tradwife? Why not show young women what their life would look like 20 yrs from now?
