They have pills now


This is going to be a game changer. Not only is the handling of pills easier (no refrigeration), they are also much easier for generic manufacturers to replicate. The prices are high now, but in 10-15 years the price on GLP-1’s should drop significantly.

People that label everything they don't like or don't support as "socialism" need their heads examined.


The definition of socialism is “Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.”

I provided a specific example of a government run entity and its ineffectiveness.

You really are retarded.

It’s perfectly clear what the OP did, I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to grasp it.
OP, one variable I can think of is that at such a large volume you might be entitled to a bit of a discount.
Not sure about Texas, but there’s already infrastructure in Georgia and Tennessee. Most films are done outside of California already. The cost to film in California is already prohibitive (permits, labor, etc.), a studio isn’t going to lose as much as you think. If Paramount goes I could see other studios go as well. The only one that won’t is Disney.
20 years were above 5 as well. Tempted to move some of my fixed income investments into these.
At the DMV. They have 5 staffers that take the photos sitting there with no one. They have one person processing everyone coming in the door (renewals and permit tests). Your government at work. The line is probably 80 deep. Government efficiency at its finest.

I think it has a lot to do with this. It wasn’t available on TV back then, I remember my parents taking us to see it in 1971. First (and maybe only) time I went to a movie with an intermission.

The fact we didn’t do it after Covid is disgraceful.

Getting a kick out of some of the Philly shutouts - Gritty, Tastykakes, wit wiz, Wawa. People need to drop the snowballs at Santa Claus thing though. It was almost 60 years ago, and it was due to the team dragging a drunk guy from the stands in a Santa Claus suit onto the field because the one they hired got caught in the snowstorm and couldn’t make it. Not to mention, the team was 0-11 at the time.

Actually I did that instead of buying a vacation home. Paid their college tuition as well.
They’re already there. It’s called a toilet.

Buried just in case zombies are real
I think it depends. If I found a house I really wanted I’d probably do it. Homes in my neighborhood are getting multiple bidders above asking before there’s even an open house.

He’s 36. Craig was 38 when Casino Royale came out.

They do...I know 2 researchers who found a cure for cancer and when they presented their findings, were told to bury it.


If true I could put them in touch with dozens of biotechs and pharmas tomorrow that would be willing to pay them millions. Venture capitalists are about $’s. They’re not holding back a cure if they can sell it.

The more likely scenario is that they had some sketchy preclinical data that didn’t hold up to scientific due diligence.
Apparently Paxton is pissing donors off in Texas. He’s been a lazy campaigner and they’re getting fed up.

Hopefully. Then it won't matter if the GOP nominee is Vance or Rubio.


Either of those two would embarrass her in a debate. It would be the equivalent of Joe’s debate in 2024.
