[03:16] Isambard_Prince I really wonder how Walgreens is in business though. [03:17] Isambard_Prince They're consistently the highest priced drug store if you're uninsured or have shitty prescription insurance. [03:17] Isambard_Prince Most prescription drug plans in America are such garbage you can do better with GoodRX Gold subscriptions, which aren't even insurance. [03:18] Isambard_Prince Some private insurance plans might be worth using if only because it counts towards your deductibe, but Medicare Part D is just prescriptions. Buying them through that doesn't help you anywhere else. [03:18] Isambard_Prince *deductible [03:19] Isambard_Prince I came to the conclusion that it's worth subscribing to GoodRX Gold for a year at $89 because the Gold prices are so much better that even with Medicare Part D, I'd pay about $400 over the year with Gold for my drugs (counting the cost of Gold) vs. over $1500 with Part D. [03:19] Isambard_Prince Just not worth using Part D.

[03:22] Isambard_Prince The news was talking about a woman whose husband had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Walgreens charged her over $300 for his medicine for a month's supply. [03:22] Isambard_Prince But the news said that with a drug coupon that would have also cost the pharmacy $4 to run it, it would have been $34. [03:22] Isambard_Prince So they would have accepted $30, but got her for ten times as much because she didn't know that. [03:23] Isambard_Prince And she was on a fixed income with a husband with Alzheimer's. [03:23] Isambard_Prince They're taking advantage of people. [03:24] MinceR also, pukki means goat [03:42] Isambard_Prince Hmm. The local Chevy dealer says that if you drop off a Christmas present for a poor child they'll enter you to win a Chevy Tahoe.

[20:00] Isambard_Prince I replied, [20:00] Isambard_Prince Trump's propaganda is breaking down largely because of the affordability crisis that people are witnessing in front of them, losing their job, or stagnant wages. On the phone with the bank trying to save their house or in eviction court with the landlord because prices at the grocery store have gone up 16% or so for items like beef and coffee. [20:00] Isambard_Prince The electric bills from all the AI data centers that he's trying to forcibly "invest" tax money into with his $1,000 per child Trump Scam accounts, the electric bills went up 27% in the summer and they're only getting worse. They can blame it on a failed auction through October. Did the price get better since October? No. Trump caused an aged coal plant that nobody needs to have to keep running, selling power at a loss so that [20:00] Isambard_Prince everyone in the midwest can again subsidize AI data centers they don't want, to create more unemployment they have to compete with a chat robot for. [20:00] Isambard_Prince Everything just sort of bleeds into everything else. Then Trump decided, hey guess what. Your health insurance that was $400 a month this year will be $1600 next year. Good luck being uninsured. He also is creating a program for Medicare that will make UnitedHealth's claims process look like a patch of Heaven. [20:00] Isambard_Prince As long as the USD is relatively strong compared to undeveloped countries, Americans *might* have somewhere to retire so they don't have to feature in Forbes's "90 year old woman pushes carts at Walmart and loves it" stories while she reads "100 ways to cook Alpo and love it", but shouldn't our own country be an option after a life of labor?
