cost-plus pharmacy and tech
Pittsburgh, PA
Joined July 2012
Middlemen eat up 90.7% of this "Cost Plus" margin! Explain that to me please, @mcuban. The pharmacy pays labor, rent, etc. but only makes $2.80. Cost plus is the future...but without middlemen. #costplusfuture (yes, I know, credit card fees are still part of that future)

This yearβs Christmas card was inspired by Home Alone. That's partly because itβs fun, nostalgic, and brings a smile, but also because the story holds an uncomfortable parallel. In the movie, the threat is obvious: burglars breaking into homes, taking what isnβt theirs. In
We canβt tell you how much joy planning, putting together, and delivering these cards brings us. This Christmas season, weβre wishing you health, happiness, and blessings. We hope your holidays are full of warmth, laughter, and maybe just a little harmless mischief. πβΊοΈ

Liar. You are not the only one. And you know that, jagoff. And @Blueberry_Rx was doing it well before you and @alexosh stole the idea.
The ONLY way drug prices go DOWN based on volumes, is when the cost @costplusdrugs pays go down. Because we are the only company to pass on cost reductions , with a standard markup , and charge everyone the same amount , with no membership fees. This is why we are the only

I agree, Pittsburgh has a new favorite football team. It ain't the @Steelers, it's the @RiverhoundsSC!
NEW: Trump suggests the NFL should come up with a new name because there is "no question" that soccer is actually football. "Soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football." "But

This is awesome. "Including everyone to ever play for the Flyers ... "
Including everyone to ever play for the Flyers, only 38 skaters in NHL history have more goals at Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly Wells Fargo Center) than Sidney Crosby's 27. π€― Crosby is the NHL's all-time leader in goals (58), assists (78) and points (136) against the Flyers.

The Steelers have now gone 62 games (!!!) without scoring more than 7 points in the 1st quarter. An NFL record. Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat.

Not excusing it, but everyone is wrapped up in the Minnesota DHS fraud... Did we forget about the defrauding of @HHSGov that @UHC, @CVSHealth, and @Evernorth commit every day?

We need to think of BMI like this too.
If you think Lars is crazy, the equations for aircraft design are 10x more sensitive re mass. Zipline is willing to add $3-5 to the cost of an aircraft to save a single gram. Itβs worth $10 million to an overall aircraft design program to cut a kilogram π€―

After finishing up a kids podcast on the road tonight, my 7-year-old asked to listen to "the thing about Tesla". I said I didn't know any podcasts about Tesla. He said "you know that thing about Teslas, cybertrucks, and robots." I then realized he was talking about the 2025

Poverty can and will be eliminated, but envy is eternal
There are two kinds of poverty: absolute and relative Elon is right that we can solve absolute poverty. In fact, we largely already have, especially in the developed world. Relative poverty is about envy. Itβs a spiritual rather than economic problem and will always be with us.

Be a maker
@RolandForTexas You are a taker, not a maker. All youβve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it

You need a catastrophic policy along with an expanded HSA to pay cash for your healthcare services. Congress, make it happen!

Time for us doctors to stand up and take back the house of medicine from the dirty rats who stole it. Stand with us.

Instead of publicly displaying how much from pharma, it should be how much from insurance company. Insurers dictate care more than pharma does. Most docs don't even get to "practice medicine", they just do what insurance tells them to
Of course, there is a special database for physicians to track how much money we receive from drug and device companies. The average physician received $48 from industry, and that trivial amount allegedly causes us to lose all control and to be unable to think independently.

βthe $9 Billion Gorilla.β Thatβs billion with a βb,β β¦Thatβs how much UnitedHealth paid AARP in a one-time payment in 2024.β 31x the amount they collect in membership dues. No wonder AARP speaks against membership desire and speaks for PBM kickbacks. Thanks @kerpen
