@theangrypharm We might as well start bagging groceries in the stores too to increase our worth! Maybe stock produce too for another diverse revenue base… these people want us to do everything except make money off what we’re supposed to do, which is prescriptions

Ummm... Immunizations -> More work for little pay (wE wErE HErOS of COViD!!!!!@#!@) Test-and-Treat -> More work for little pay Medical Billing -> What the fuck? Why are we getting involved in this?!? We're already getting fucked over with Medicare-B strips/CGM payments (as if you'd know anything about that) so we need MORE paperwork and MORE denied claims? You learned nothing from MTM didnt you. You can't "practice at the top of your license" (I hate that fucking phrase) when the store has to close because our bread and butter isn't making money APhA. I realize that this is the first time you all have stepped in retail in the past *checks notes* 20 years, but why are you adding more shit on our plates when you refuse to fix whats actively wrong? Stop taking fucking pictures and cut CVS Health from your fucking payroll. You're just CVS cucks, go sit in the cuck chair while they continue to steamroll retail/indy pharmacies.

This is the problem with socialism. The answer is always more money. Never a number. Never a limit. Never a point where voters are allowed to ask, after we spent all this, why are the results still mediocre? NYC Public Schools is already running a roughly $44.6 billion budget. Depending on how you count the all in costs, that puts spending in the neighborhood of $40,000 plus per student. That's more than most private schools charge. So what's the amount of money per pupil that will make New York public schools adequate? How much wealth should be redistributed to those Queens teachers to make the system "fair?" We see this in healthcare, too. Any potential cut to Medicaid is dooming poor people to die. @SenSchumer claimed over 50,000 people were going to die if we made even the slightest cut to Medicaid. Fine. Then say the quiet part out loud. What is the target spend per Medicaid enrollee? What happens when spending rises and patients still cannot get care? Let's get those numbers out there, find a way to fairly tax the wealthy to fund the safety-net, and then be done with it. $50k per student per year? $10,000 per Medicaid beneficiary with some age-adjustment? $200,000 per mile of high speed rail track? They can never tell you. One, because they have never run a business before, so they have no idea how to actually look at a balance sheet. But, two, they don't want the money to go to the teachers, students, patients, or choo choo train. They want wealth redistributed from class enemies like Bezos to their political allies. They want to fund things that sound nice. "Free childcare" "Free diapers" "Free Faith Healers" so they can take money from people they don't like and give it to people they do like. But, again because they have never run an actual business and because their only motiviation is to just not fail badly enough to prevent their re-election, the services come in way over budget and under-quality. They're spending other people's money on other people, and as Milton Friedman points out, that's when you stop caring about both price and quality. So the people to whom they promised free stuff look at their free stuff and are disappointed. "I was supposed to get healthcare but now I need to wait a year for my knee replacement." So they blame their class enemies and say "well it would work if we could just take MORE of their money and redistribute it." So they take more money, but the quality doesn't improve. Their political allies, the union bosses and NGO CEOs get big paychecks they then funnel back into their campaigns. And again, and again. Until all the people who actually produce wealth have been taxed into oblivion. You have no more Amazon. No more abundance. Just bread lines and poverty. And that teacher in Queens still isn't getting paid what they are worth.

California is a real time contest between the smartest people on Earth trying to invent the future and the dumbest people on Earth trying to return us to the stone age.

Christopher Nolan: Orchestras didn’t exist back then. We can’t use an orchestra for The Odyssey... Also Nolan: Helen of Troy is now black. Achilles is a 5 ft nothing tranny. Travis Scott is gonna rap. Robert Pattinson is gonna say “daddy”. Soldiers will have iron armor in the Bronze Age. Movie will be based on a modernized, feminist rewrite of the story. This movie will be a beautifully filmed piece of woke, liberal slop.

@fuller_brandon @ManhattanInst @david_goldhill @CityJournal the pharmacies' actual acquisition price from the wholesalers have not dropped.

Until treason is treated like treason, this will continue.

@kpharmd12 @Jeff_Pharma @WellcarePlans But the reimbursements will get better in 2029. After we’ve already been sucked dry

@Connor_Clark4 @Jeff_Pharma @WellcarePlans Walmart should be the ones to get $4.80. After all, they started the whole $4 generic bs decades ago

Just did a price check online through Medicare.gov for #60 pregabalin (Lyrica) 75mg capsules utilizing the Part-D Plan @WellcarePlans Walmart price = $34.47 CVS price = $33.60 Walgreens price = $33.60 Kroger price = $33.60 Genoa Healthcare (subsidiary of United Healthcare) = $12.45 Any independent pharmacy = $4.80 Does anyone see the problem here? Is @WellcarePlans comfortable paying large chain pharmacies 7x more than an independent pharmacy for the same prescription medication? Apparently they are. So much for @ExpressScripts “negotiating” lower prices for Americans. How many unsuspecting people get screwed when their local “cheap” pharmacy option closes because $4.80 doesn’t cover their operating expenses, let alone the cost of the drug? Then their only options are Walgreens, Walmart, CVS where they get to pay over $30 for the same drug. Small pharmacies aren’t negotiating to be the cheapest option. If we accept the insurance contract, they TELL US what we get to charge the patient. Make it make sense! @DrOzCMS @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump @DrMakaryFDA @CMSGov

I need people to understand that our tax dollars were used to train these foreigners how to scam our welfare programs

In 1913, when America started taxing income, you owed nothing unless you made more than $3,000 a year. In today's money, that comes to about $100,000. Less than 1 in 100 Americans paid a thing, because the whole system was built for the rich. Then a war broke it. For the country's first 125 years, the federal government ran on tariffs and taxes on things like whiskey. In 1913, the constitution was changed to allow income tax. If you earned over $3,000, you owed 1%. The top rate was 7%, and only on income over $500,000, which is about $16.5 million today. Out of 97 million Americans, almost no one paid. Because only the rich paid, the rules were built around how rich people lived. They owned businesses. They had offices, employees, equipment, travel. So the law let them subtract those costs before tax. The phrase, then and now, is "ordinary and necessary" expenses. If it cost you money to make money, you only paid tax on the profit. For 30 years, that was the system. The rich paid and got to write off their business expenses. Everyone else paid nothing. Then WWII hit. A 1942 law gutted it. The tax-free amount was slashed to $1,200 for married couples and $500 for singles. A new "Victory Tax" took 5% of every dollar above $624. People paying income tax exploded from 7.7 million in 1939 to 36.7 million in 1942, to 50 million by 1945. The Treasury knew people would resist. So they hired Walt Disney. He made a cartoon where Donald Duck reluctantly does his taxes, then races across the country to hand-deliver them so they can fund the war effort. About 60 million Americans saw it. Tax filings doubled the next year. A sequel followed in 1943, the same year paycheck withholding became law. Your employer would now hand the tax to the government before you ever held it. When the system was rebuilt for workers, only the rules that taxed them changed. The rule letting businesses deduct stayed in place. There was never an "ordinary and necessary" rule for survival. Rent, groceries, healthcare, the bus you take to the job you're being taxed on, none of it deductible. Today, a single person in 2026 can earn $16,100 tax-free. The 1913 version, in real money, was about $100,000. The shield that once protected ordinary people has shrunk to a sixth of what it was. The tax code had one job: tax the wealthy on what was left after their expenses. WWII rewrote who had to pay. The right to deduct survived for businesses. For the rest of us, it was never written.

Glad I’m working a job so people that weren’t born here, and have never contributed a single notable thing, can grift millions. Fuck every part about our government and healthcare systems

One company owns your insurance, your doctor, and your pharmacy. They negotiate with themselves. They pay themselves. They win every time you need care. This isn't a health system. It's a racket. I support breaking them up.

Someone explain this to me like I’m 5 years old. If I have someone who is on Medicare Part D and needs an Advair HFA inhaler- their copay is set at $387, which results a $44 LOSS on the drug to the pharmacy. Yet, if you have no insurance coverage: you can sign up for FREE on the manufacturer’s website for a help card and get it for $35.00. The pharmacy is paid $29.00 over their actual cost of the drug. Same drug, filled at the same pharmacy. Two completely different outcomes for the patient and the pharmacy.

This training is a good warm up pipeline for guys who want to get Forklift Certified. If you can get thru BUD/S you have a decent shot at coming thru the Forklift Certification program successfully, but BUD/S is a lot more laid back and all around easier than “The Forks”

I’m not kidding when I say we should pick up a random Small Business owner from the Midwest, give him total unquestionable authority for 1 year, and just see what happens. As long as the person is: - Male - Married - Has multiple kids - Practicing Christian - IQ over 130

Obamacare has drastically increased consolidation, administration, destroyed independent MDs practices, and increased overall costs (direct + indirect). And no one got to “keep their doctor”. What a scam.

James Cook's essay on feral hogs in college. An absolute legend at Georgia. 💀💀💀

I have over a thousand prescriptions that @CVSHealth has paid me less than $2.50 total in 2026.

Clay is 100% correct. Kentaji Brown Jackson is an illegitimate Supreme Court justice who was hired on the basis of race, which is illegal in the United States. She should be replaced. If I had a job opening for a new assistant and I said out the gate: "I’ve made no decision except one: The person I hire will be a Black woman" — I’d be sued the minute I hired her and I’d be on the hook for major legal damages. But this is EXACTLY what Joe Biden did. Here’s his own words on how he’d pick his Supreme Court nominee from BEFORE she was chosen (and keep in mind he said this during the campaign, after his election AND during the selection process): “We talked about the Supreme Court. I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a black woman on the Supreme Court." "I’ve made no decision except one… That person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court. It’s long overdue, in my opinion." “I’m keeping the commitment I made during my campaign for president—I will nominate the first Black woman to the United States Supreme Court.” That’s hiring on the basis of race. It’s illegal for any of us to do and the highest court in our land should be held to the same standard.

🚨 BREAKING: Chuck Schumer says the SAVE America Act will "allow ICE to kick TENS OF MILLIONS of people off the voter rolls" WOW! Schumer just OPENLY ADMITTED voter rolls are PLAGUED WITH ILLEGALS. The quiet part has just been said out loud! And he’s crediting @elonmusk
