We’ll see how many red-staters cross state lines to buy their evil, demonic $11 insulin.

Watch them take advantage of this while acting like “California is the worst state”

I have family that loves to say this. They moved from CA to live in a red, welfare state that siphons more federal funding than they generate.

I remind them often that my state pays for their state.

Socialist insulin isn't as good as the American stuff.

Yep, time to flee the leopards to save their faces from being eaten.

Shame there aren't as many farming opportunities on the Pacific coast as there are out midwest. Oh well. I'm sure those ones will just have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
