@SteveBHolt Reminds me about how wealthier people can buy more efficiently, eg afford Costco membership, able to buy & store in bulk, have transportation, etc. This also reduces the number of shopping trips. Seems like the more one earns, the ‘cheaper’ life gets, saving money & time.

@__frye As someone who has done business in Japan this isn’t quite true. If you show proper respect in the business card exchange ritual, then a subsequent murder may, in fact, be quite respectful. It depends on how long they examine your business card.

Jesus, so less than 24 hours of the SOTU address where President Biden called out drug prices, Republicans in the welfare state known as Alabama decided to increase all prescription prices?? 100% chance Republicans will blame Biden for Republicans raising drug prices.

Alabama lawmakers have advanced a bill that would add a $10.64 fee on all prescription medication purchases in the state, calling it a "dispensing fee". Opponents argue that such a bill, if passed, would cost the average family upto $1100 in additional medication costs per year.
