The $35 cap on the price of insulin, established by the inflation recovery act, is still in place. Not sure what this caller is talking about.

I agree that $20 million a year to protect a multi-billion dollar industry, and probably safeguards thousands of jobs, seems particularly wasteful.

I do have some empathy for people who don't follow politics much, are mostly uninformed, and bought the stuff about inflation and immigration. There's going to be tens of thousands of stories like this.

One thing I think is hard for non-ADHD people to understand is that motivation often isn't the problem. It's inertia that's the problem. Overcoming inertia is the battle. Once you have momentum on something, it's easy to keep going.

It's more watched than any NHL game with reliable measuring metrics ever (most watched ever was STL/BOS Game 7 in 2019 on NBC which did 8.723M). Honestly as someone who has followed NHL TV viewership for a long time, that's beyond bonkers.

If Canada loses this game, they're gonna spend the GDP of a Baltic state on player development.

Good grief. Musk is not a supervillain. He's a deeply insecure narcissist and compulsive liar. He has a long history of making absolutely ridiculous statements. Calling him a supervillain makes it seem like he's some kind of mastermind. He's not. He's 3 dogs in a trench coat.

Binnington playing the game of his life tonight because he's still fuming that the US guys wouldn't let him join the call with Trump.

This is going to be a HUGE test of the CDC under RFKj & Trump. There are millions of kids in the US, like my youngest, who have received 1 dose of the MMR vaccine but not both. Parents like me need to know if we should go ahead and get our kids the 2nd dose ahead of schedule.

Auston Matthews can not be the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs if he doesn't speak out against the 51st state stuff. Not that he can't play for them, but he can't be the captain of the team. Not the team with a maple leaf on its crest.

Tonight don't miss it as the Canadian and US hockey teams battle for the love of Donald Trump, a man every single one of them thinks is cool as hell

Bond 26: His Majesty's Government has been infiltrated by corrupt Leftists hell bent on the destruction of the House of Lords and landed titles. Teaming up with Biff Jizzos, the ripped American billionaire astronaut, and his new Q (a LLM), Bond must unmask the terrorists and save the aristocracy.

I'd love to know why some of you are still hanging out over there

A lot of people I've talked to keep asking what Musk has over Trump, and I don't buy that. Musk needs Trump. He needs to eliminate the regulatory capacity of the feds investigating his businesses and finances; he needs to keep lining his pockets with gov't contracts.

I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit here. Every economist I read is sounding the alarm about the market/economy, and we haven't even gotten to the truly insane stuff. I cannot believe we're talking about destroying single-family home ownership.

Chatting with a colleague this morning, I think I've reached the conclusion that the only way people in this country will accept that [many] federal government functions are good and necessary is for the things to start to break down. To be clear, this'd be very bad and I don't want this to happen.

Even *if* the FDA was beholden to big pharma interests, I fail to see how gutting it improves the outcomes. Removing its capacity to evaluate the safety of new drugs doesn't make anyone healthier or safer.

I hope Vlad moves on and has a Miggy-like 2nd chapter. I'm sure they'll try to trade him now, but I think I'd prefer to get one last season from him as a Jay.
