Criminals are anyone who is breaking the law.

It's why I never liked the term as it applies to drug users, but it is true.

Other countries mostly pay less for brand-name prescription drugs than the U.S. because they have government health systems that set drug prices. By and large, the U.S. doesn't set prices, so the drug companies can charge what the market will bear.

This means they will fuck us as hard as we're willing to get fucked. It has nothing to do with putting food on the table.

This is the way.

I'm noticing pretty much all issues with trade are issues with the management. They want to restrict and interfere with as many steps as possible so they can skim just a little bit 🤏 more off the top every time.

many of whom rely on that income

Keep in mind, it's a 6-figure salary and they'd rather live a higher quality of life than save or invest that money for later.

It's not about needs, it's about wants. These people are all richer than us.

If members of congress were not paid, the richer members could use a shutdown to coerce the poorer members,

Pretty sure all congresspeople get paid at least 6 figures per year.

They can survive their entire term off of just 1 year's salary.

But! They won't be able to waste money like idiots/most people on social media.

Keep in mind, she's saying that while living at a higher quality of life than most of you.

It's not an on/off switch, it's a gradient where people try to live as lavishly as possible for as little effort as possible.
