It's pretty obvious what they UK should do. But then, that was also pretty obvious in 2016 before they voted the other way.

Some more info about the discussion about big pharma:

One more baseless assertion. Who in the left, is claiming big pharma are pure as the driven snow? You are making it up! 😀 NB It's not the left which blocked a cap of $35 on insulin (it's $12 in Canada), it's the GOP. I only see Yellowtail's comments when someone replied because he is on my ignore list. Seeing some of his comments like this it only confirms that it was a good idea to put him on that list.

Really? How long are those advocates concerned already? For the rest of us, this was and is obvious since decades. What do you expect from a lazy corrupt police force? Nothing!

I asked AI: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/why-is-medication-a-lot-more-e-FGUn.GNjSOSFF0B.N6Fhag#0 I use this AI because it shows all the sources where the information come from. They are listed in above link. "In summary, the combination of unregulated pricing, a fragmented healthcare system, profit-driven motives of pharmaceutical companies, the influence of PBMs, and strategic legal maneuvers all contribute to the significantly higher costs of medications in the United States compared to other countries."

That is a very strange guess. Try again!

IMHO prostitutes in western countries, as far as I know, behave very different from so called prostitutes in Thailand. Many girls just see it like dancing, drinking, having fun, and f@$@# for money. Let's party and get paid for it. I think most girls in Thailand go maybe with one customer per day. In "the west" 10 or more customers per day seems to be not unusual. The business has the same name, but it is very different. Obviously not everybody is the same in each country, but there are in general huge differences.

Many love to drink. That's what they call a good time. And when those boyfriends and husbands were still their customers that also called that a good time. The problem is that some of those husbands thought their wife would change...

Then why are people all over the world be able to buy insulin and many other drugs so much cheaper? A hint: It's not the cost of the production; it's the profit margins of the companies.

And should all those people with chronic disease make the pharma companies rich? I understand that you argue people should pay themselves. But should they pay what the actual medicine cost? Or 10 times more? "According to a recent RAND Corporation study, the gross price of insulin in the U.S. is more than nine times higher than in 33 high-income comparison nations."

But what is she is great?

I hope they do that. But somehow, I don't have much hope. It's so much easier to blame those bad racists and misogynists and all that.

Really? For many it seems to be a mix of new girls, and if one of them is especially existing, then more of the same for a couple of times, and then a mix again.

Maybe that's his pronoun. 😉

I think it's pretty easy: Follow your heart. If you see the same girl again and again, and want to see even more of her, then maybe ask her to be your girlfriend. And if you don't see "the one and only", then see more than one. And then there is of course the option to have a girlfriend/wife but from time to time an hour or two of entertainment. I think by now the trouble with short time is that there are a lot less girls out there who I want to be with. Maybe I experienced the good times when the girls were younger and slimmer, or maybe I am just getting old. And going out to bars and buying drinks is not exactly cheap anymore. And if you see the same girl or girls for short times again and again, then you have most likely also part of the drama which you want to avoid.

There are many posts from me where I criticize the stupid woke, DEI, etc. As far as I see they are the extreme left. And unfortunately, there are not enough center-left who tell the far-left that they are crazy.

If you saw her there in 1982 then better manage your expectation if you want to see her again. 😉

I was at the Samui airport in 1994. Domestic only at that time. I remember the airport fire engine was watering the plants at that time. 😉

I am sure I am not 100% neutral, it's impossible to be. But I can assure you that I see good and bad politics and good and bad actions on both sides of the US politics. And similar for the politics in other countries. Personally, I am against that narcistic serial liar Trump. How can anybody trust that guy? I am not against the GOP. But then, I have difficulties with those spineless politicians who all said Trump is bad in 2016, and then over the years they pretend he is the smartest guy alive. He's not!

He is lying, lying, and lying, and maybe sometimes accidentally telling the truth. What the point of trying to figure out what he said?

Please tell me again why it is a good idea to vote for a narcistic serial liar convicted criminal? If you like the GOP politics, why not vote for someone who is not a convicted criminal? It is stupid to vote for a criminal serial liar to lead a country. That is obvious to most of us.

It is almost impossible that there won't be problems between them. I wait to get the popcorn out for that show.

Let's see what Musk will do. In principle I like the idea. That's my point.

I am no American taxpayer. But if I would know that I will pay next year maybe 10k less tax and I would know that Trump and Musk make each 1k extra from every 10k saved, I think I would still like that idea.

Ok, maybe you are right, I don't know all the details. But do you think the idea to make the government more efficient and cut cost is a good idea - even if they come from Trump and Musk?
