Have you also looked at to what the dollar is doing? Dont forget that euro is still stronger and if western Europe gets cut off, who’s to say they won’t pay more than we do for a barrel. and since the euro is still higher than the dollar, that means that much more profit. sure they get squeezed but so do we.
in the end pedo, if your wallet is hurting, time to make lifestyle changes as all of America should be doing. I doubt things are going to get cheaper and easier within the next 10 years. might as well start now while you can before it becomes more exponential(not that it hasn’t some already). you aren’t the only one feeling the squeeze and I know some people need to vent but I haven’t seen you post anything that you’ve to offset the added expense.
The NHS doesnt and should not pay for overpriced drugs, most of which are manufuctured in america. Its as simple as that. American pharmaceutical firms are known for intentionally hiking up their prices when they sell to the NHS.
I’ve paid for drugs whilst at the same time receiving free meds on the NHS. It depends on the situation, and in her situation she wanted a drug that could only extend her life by a few months (if even that). An overpriced drug that was far more expensive (for the NHS) than the treatment she was already receiving. Basically the NHS were implying that the drug wasnt worth the money by telling her to foot the entire bill.
Anyone who is bored should type in “Ron Paul war with Iran” in youtube. Brings up an interesting 5 minute bit with Ron on the house floor. He draws a few parallels with impending Iranian conflict and the previous Iraq war. He gets brushed off as a kook but a lot of what he says needs to at least be heard. I don’t fully buy Israel being a helpless puppy argument.
its well known that US pharma companies sell to canada and europe at lower prices than stateside. Basically the US, in effect, subsidize the discovery and development (which costs upward of billion dollars to bring successful drug to market --and most fail miserably, and its only getting worse) for you guys. You should thanks us. Keep reading daily mail.
im glad youre comfortable with the govt making the decision of how much value your life has, even if takes the govt years to decide while your condition aggressively metastasizes. I have heard the brits vigorously defend their hospice care/coverage. Meanwhile, reagarding those who decide to take the matter into their own hands, they decide arbitrarily who they are going to take coverage away from and who gets to keep it.
never change europe
never change
hahaa
I knew we was fucked the moment people started having billions of dollars instead of just millions. When you have people who are different than other people, simply because their bank account has an extra 9 or 10 zero’s on it, the world has gone to shit. I used to always laugh at countries where their dollar was so shitty, stuff costed like 50,000 of it. I wonder if rich people look down on the rest of us and do the same. “LOL look at that guy counting out his change to see if he can afford $22.98 with taxes. I own the store that sells that thing he is buying.”
?
so inflation makes rich people more condescending?
Actual value is dwarfed by the effects of nominal value?
surely this cant be what you are trying to say
Yeah I know. Inflation is now hitting us hard for real. But its that gas prices shouldn’t be this high, and its ridiculous. Our government isn’t making things easier for normal people, and its only encouraging this bullshit behavior.
I have looked in to those lifestyle changes. I’ve been using them for years. But i can’t just stop driving. I wish I could get a motorcycle but I’ve had to many close calls in my Accord from dumb shit drivers that im not taking the chance. Fuel efficient cars look and drive like shit, I can’t buy a more fuel efficient vehicle because I can’t afford it. I can’t take public transportation, its much to expensive and I can’t afford the 2 hour commute to school because I have to stay on top of my studies. I have to take my siblings to school that’s not thier home school, because the local schools are absolute shit. I’ve already tried maximizing the efficiency of my car. There is only so many things I can do before its not enough. and as it stands, its not going to be enough. getting 25-26 miles in a 20-21 mpg car isn’t enough.
you are being obtuse.
more money makes people more condescending and arrogant. Its a simple fact, and its a damn shame that it takes a bunch of silly pseudo doctors to confirm this so that the masses can believe it.
Three Strikes Law is a bogus crime deterrent. A decline in alcohol consumption is a much better indicator for the reduction of crime.
Great, make a smaller percentage of the population educated while increasing the funding spent on prisons and keeping non-violent criminals in there, potentially forever.
