I don't know. I just know I'm not touching that money for 20+ years

and then they drop even harder and you've run out of money to put in. Now what?

Wait for the market to inevitably go back up to new highs and retire early

Have you been claiming this for years now?

2024 hasn't been as good so far

What s year, what are your predictions for next year?

Oh wait, I just remembered that I rolled my old job's 401k into my IRA, so now I don't feel so bad that my current 401k is where it's at

Congrats! Seems like a long way away for me but looking at how much it's gone up over the last two years makes me see that it's possible.

it's been such a good year, I hope 2024 is more like this than 2022

Agreed

Great time to buy?

Is your enzc finally below it's original purchase price yet?

Let's go

Is CBS not literally a standard channel?

It is an over the air channel you can pick up with an antenna. I guess if it's through a provider, they still have to negotiate to have it available to customers through the service.

I fucking hate Alabama

I wonder if people will think back to them when the next big scam comes along. Or if they'll be frenzied by the idea of getting in early.

Probably not, they'll probably think of Bitcoin and "imagine if I bought that when it was a dollar"

Why do you assume that they haven't talked and both had the same thought?

Is this average or median?

No, I just use the Bing Dalle 3 and mess with the prompt language

@serperiorthanu

Variations of this prompt. This got at least one of those pics

princess Jasmin from Aladdin as a prisoner. she is in a dungeon and wearing red. moonlight streams in through a barred window glistening off her on a summer night. there are cages hanging from the ceiling and chains on the walls. she is attached to the wall clasped with some chains around her wrists and neck that are attached to the wall. gritty noir style. draw as a hyper realistic picture.

In Missouri we're used to legislators trying to ignore our passed amendments. Luckily our courts slapped them around when they did.

Pretty sure the constitution overrules anything legislature would have passed.

And if the reimbursement rate is "lol get all the way fucked" then pharmacies can absolutely not fill the prescription. Again, it is suggested that they lie and say the drug is not available in those situations.

Lying about the reason implies that you are doing something wrong.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

If the pharmacy contacts a network with a PBM, then they fill the prescriptions for the members in that network and are reimbursed at the rate the pharmacy has contacted with the PBM.
What did I miss?

Do you have this issue more with brand or generic drugs?

hockeybub89 posted...

Whatever you say, bro. Not our fault the federal government is too deep in the pockets of insurance companies and Big Pharma to stop them from fucking up healthcare more and more. We're not sacrificing the many to help the few.

Major chains, that don't need the money, get multiple times more reimbursement per fill. And like I said, pharmacies aren't ordered to sell at a massive loss. They are told to lie and say the drugs are not available. I'm gonna challenge your notion that independent pharmacies are legally required to lose money until they die. We can manage a certain amount of loss and offset it, but not hundreds of dollars per fill. That's not tenable

None of this addresses the fact that you are in breach of contact for cherry picking claims to fill and telling patients to go fuck themselves when you're not happy at the contracted rate for a specific fill.

It's definitely been a cause to rally around and it does seem there is more engagement and voting, which is good. But I'd rather all people just have their rights back.

yeah because the last 4 years have been amazing

I think it's going as well as could be hoped for realistically.

does this mean you think bottled water is not okay to drink because it's been sitting in the bottle for months?

As long as the seal hasn't been broken then it's fine

Giant_Aspirin posted...

wait, what? as long as i wash the bottle regularly, i've never had a problem coming back and drinking from a closed bottle, even if the water sat in there for a few days.

I haven't either, but it's still possible for bacteria to grow in there if it sits too many days

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Water put in a water bottle that sits for a few days. It's not okay to drink that.

It's good that you're concerned....

...but, water cannot be created or destroyed.

Wut? Then why are all the lakes drying up?

Sariana21 posted...

No, I pour water into a container for my house plants or into a rain barrel for my outdoor plants. We also collect water while waiting for the shower to get hot and use it to flush the toilet.

I try not to waste water.

I should get a rain barrel

GeminiDeus posted...

Dump old water where, down the sink? It gets cleaned repurposed. And what else are you going to do with it, if your concern seems to be for people without water? Drinking it yourself, using it for something else, or dumping it still doesn't get those people water.

Of course, but the visual is me just upending and watching the water go do the drain brings to mind all those that would never dump out water if they had it

R1masher posted...

Nah, I shit in water and flush it away

Some things are unavoidable

MrResetti posted...

Water a plant or something idk

That's a good idea I guess. Somewhat related, I've always thought that watering your lawn was extremely wasteful

Second post wins again

Knowing how scarce the resource is for many people in the world, I always feel bad when I pour out old water. :(

We don't have an obligation to go out of business by filling prescriptions that lose tons of money. We're not some multibillion dollar chain. We see the profit (positive or negative) of every fill in real time. We shop for the best deals on drug purchases every day and constantly modify inventory points to minimize the amount of drugs sitting idle on our shelves. We don't have the power to negotiate individually with PBMs. In fact, the coalition we are part of has completely cut off from one of the major PBMs because independent pharmacies aren't going to keep the lights on by hemorrhaging money. When patients ask their insurance company why independents are no longer in network, that company basically tells them that those pharmacies were given an offer and refused to cooperate.

Also, I have literally heard about PBMs suggesting pharmacies blame backorders if they can't afford to fill a drug at loss.

You actually do if you are contracted to do so. I know that there are prescriptions that the pharmacy does make money on and ones that they lose money on. You don't get to cherry pick the ones you like to fill. I hope the member complains and the pharmacy gets slapped legally.

You don't get to refuse a prescription just because you lose money on it. If you are contracted with the PBM and in network, you fill the claim.
