    I can personally attest to the cash price of drugs going through all kinds of batshittery lately. Circlejerk about insurance all you want, but the actual cost of health care needs to be controlled somehow.

    Obama's. The buck stops there, mostly because that VP gave it to him. (I do wish that government officials had the moral strength to not be swayed by lobbyists/donations/whatever. I also wish unicorns existed.)

    So the private sector has mechanisms to hold its actors accountable, except when it doesn't. Okay.

    Are you implying that one of the problems with the current state of government is private influence instead of a generic widespread public incompetence?

    So my pharmacy has a guest that gets vial of insulin for their cat every few months. Several months ago, that vial was $130ish. Then $150ish. Then $160ish. Then $180ish. Today, that vial was going to cost the guest $210ish before I ran it though a discount card, bringing it back down to...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    Sigh. Generic Levothyroxine has been $4 for 30/$10 for 90 tablets for the three years that I have been working at my current pharmacy. Within the past week or so, the price of 30 tablets jumped to the $10-$13 dollar range, depending on strength. Good luck refusing to do business with...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    You left out the part where the people in the business side feel entitled to their gigantic piles of money. Like, if I made $10 billion one year and $8 billion the next... I wouldn't really be complaining, you know? That still seems like a pretty decent amount of profit. Quick, someone...

    I posted aboutNaprelanon FoH, but I'll do it again. Naprelan is... I think the pharmacy I work at charges $250ish cash price for 30 tablets. The cost we pay for 30 tablets isn't much below that. Naprelan is a slightly higher dose of Naproxen. Naproxen isnotterriblyexpensive...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    Sure, I feel sort of bad for the chemists and the people who do actual work. But fuck the business side of pharmaceuticals. Whenever something is about to go generic, the company swoops in with fresh new stupidity at $30 per pill. Sure, there's an argument to also lowering the costs of R&D...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    [Obligatory Wal-Mart comment] I'm going to avoid brand name medicines like the fucking plague, especially since so many of them are two generic medicines mixed together or an old generic that has been "reformulated" to be extended release. I guess that's as close as I'm getting to a boycott.

    Open bombs? Generally... White is pretty weak as a main, but can be a good splash. Red rarely seems much better. Black, green, and blue can hold their own. But Sealed is generally about what you open, so... just make sure you're running enough creatures, or something.

    For my account, those rolls are almost too good. Like, I don't think I have the right gods to make a whole team, so Blue Odin is sort of a waste. (I have Hermes, Michael, Ceres, Hell Queen Persephone, Anubus, and SoD Lucifer.) Dark Metatron + SoD Lucifer seems facerollingly obvious, but I'm...
