Socialize the risk, privatize the profits.

6ft and others, please tell me again why you think this isn't the dumbest thing our nation does? Give this stupid publicly traded company $70Million+ for R&D...and when it pays off? We don't take an equity stake for the investment.

Who the F "invests" like this? How Fing stupid are we as a nation? We have to wear swim trunks to deal with all the nonstop drool coming out of our collective mouths...that's how stupid Americans are.

Unfreakingbelieveable.


Gilead is pricing its COVID drug remdesivir at $3,120 for patients w/ insurance.

That's *10 times higher* than the suggested benchmark price.

US taxpayers have paid *at least* $70 million to develop this drug.

this is the part i liked best:

We believe that we had to really deviate from the normal circumstances" and price the drug to ensure wide access rather than based solely on value to patients, O'Day said.
https://www.cnet.com/health/us-to-buy-5 ... 2340-each/

so evidently hhs made the order and either worked with or agreed to their terms.

knowing there'd be some backlash, are they simply going to weigh that and see where it goes? flip it into a bill if it gets too hot?

"To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it," HHS Secretary Alex Azar said in a release.

to the extent possible is my fav in azar's released statement.

does the hospital bill come with a pre-print of the trial?

how are we doing on clinical trials for all drugs? we have 2.5 + million patients now?

could have sworn Typical Lacrosse Dad was pushing Gilead stock a few weeks ago...........of course he did, why would I bring up something I was unsure of? This time, he can't pull the , "why don't you ask......" when, he knows ALL about that hot fitness guru.

You have me confused with PB. I haven’t pushed any stock here. I mentioned I know a company working on a therapeutic for COVID 19 but you don’t hear anything about it. Lots of companies are working on something and I wondered why Gilead was so prominent.

Yes, PB was the one touting the stock, and also the one arguing with a fan about socialism...

U.S. Pediatricians Call For In-Person School This Fall

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronaviru ... VZLu1MP394

The nation's pediatricians have come out with a strong statement in favor of bringing children back to the classroom this fall wherever and whenever they can do so safely. The American Academy of Pediatrics' guidance "strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school."

The guidance says "schools are fundamental to child and adolescent development and well-being."

PLEASE tell Cuomo!

Excuse me... please tell King Andy.

At least it wasn’t Waffle House! I was at Waffle House over a year ago. I took one of my oldest friends there for breakfast when I was back in town. Wanted to get some of that “back at home” experience. Had a nasty waitress as usual. It was a cheap breakfast....maybe $20.00. I left her a $12.00 tip. She perked up. Nothing like a fight at Waffle House. Someone described it as a truck bathroom with a restaurant attached. I try to go once every time I go back home. Luv’s gas stations are a treat too.

I will never forget going to Alabama for a youth soccer tournament and going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast with another parent. He was from Spain but came here to play soccer in college. Anyway, he tried a biscuit and grits for the first time in his life and loved it! He couldn’t pronounce biscuit. He called them “bis-quits”...I would say biscuit and he would say “bis-quit”. When we finally headed back out to the airport, we stopped at a Waffle House so that he could get more bis-quits. The only other memorable aspect of that tour my was seeing Gideon Zelalem and Jeremy Ebobisse play on the same team. They were both playing up.

I knew a guy who would stop in Waffle Houses near Fredericksburg and Dumfries, Va after the bars closed...claims to have had great odds.

A lot of these southern food institutions seem to be wildly overrated unless one is hammered at 2am. Waffle House, Shoneys, The Varsity, whatever that little blue bldg BBQ Place is in Lexington NC off I64, Chik FIL A.

Best thing about waffle house is a greasy sandwich of any kind on the Texas toast. The whole smothered, layered, covered, scattered, duece dropped, etc doesn’t do much when the hash browns are as dry as an old lady’s underparts. Gotta love the perpetual layer of dried syrup on every single counter and table top too.

That $12 tip is huge, I see a lot of $1-$3 tips dropped when I’m at waffle houses which unfortunately my kids love...

Teeth optional but a sure Ive seen guys get lucky. Spent a week in Tampa years ago for my bachelor party at a hotel near a certain establishment called dollhouse and the walk in between sat a Waffle House. Every night at 4am we’d be there, fall down drunk (one guy got a tattoo on his calf completely blotto one night after we had dinner at this LEGIT Cuban joint called Columbia in Ybor City which is as sketchy area if anyone is familiar) and we’d be hoping the workers would come in for a meal after a hard nights work. Never happened unfortunately. Or fortunately.

That week we did pick up a couple at either a club by the water or a casino, guy mostly bald and a hot blonde wife, we’re going to drop them off from the limo at their houseboat and the wife is pulling me and one friend out of the car with the husband saying to the most sober friend of the group “my wife can take a couple of you but can’t handle all of you”. Thankfully the one sorta sober friend kept me from going onto the houseboat. I blacked out that night but am told they had to struggle because I kept going “no it’s cool, they said it would be a cool party at their boat. The dude seems like a nice guy”.

Love Ybor city, especially the lady that rolls cigars on her inner thigh. If you are fortunate, you can score some Cubans. But Covid effed that up. I did get a great deal on some Perdoma’s during the protests. Casa de Montecristo was selling a ton of stock a few weeks ago during protests in the event they got looted.
