    Isn’t Ozempic already mad expensive in the US compared to Denmark where it comes from?

    Perhaps he thinks Ozempic actually is harvested in Greenland? :-D

    I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?

    FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.

      That was the first thing I thought watching it. Eerily too close. Makes it a bit more difficult to be entertained by it.

      Oh also, apparently Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist. So, eck. Unsure if I’ll continue.

        I’m not convinced that someone at the Heritage Foundation didn’t read the book and think EUREKA!!! It’s too on-the-nose for it to be a coincidence.

        Or Atwood is a time-traveller and that’s why she has a secret book in a time capsule to be opened in 100 years. On the day of it’s opening, she’ll pop up in a surprise since it’s before she travelled back in time, thereby closing the paradox loop.

    This motherfucker is literally gonna kill me by making my already unaffordable cancer meds really insanely unaffordable.

    Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.

      Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I’ve only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.

      Hope you manage to beat the cancer!

        Look, I’ve been worried about being under surveillance for my political views and personal connections since the Bush era (made friends in college with middle eastern exhange students who went back to their home country and kept in touch). Technically (not really) being part of the queer community because I date transwomen (transwomen are women, duh) further complicates the matter. Not looking to be the first white cisman US citizen to be disappeared to El Salvador, thanks.

        If I manage to leave the country I better god damn have a plan to not have to come back and to get some form of political asylum elsewhere.

    Great! Medicines will now be even more expensive for patients in the United States. Genius!
