  1. Because it's subsidized over there by charging so much more over here.
  2. Watch the doc Cocaine Cowboys and how many banks popped up in S. Florida and how deeply tied they were to the drug trade. It's wild.
  3. It was Merck that got sued over a faulty drug, but in the discovery this exact statement was made. I want to say it was Vioxx? Where they knew early on it was going to mess people up, but the profits from the drug would outweigh the penalties. They ran with it, tens of thousands of people died, they got sued, but yes, the profits did in fact outweigh the lawsuit amounts.
  4. The Sackler Family - yes, evil fucks. May they forever rot in hell. The entire opiod crisis. Fuck every last one of them involved. J&J's 2022 $26 billion settlement GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer J&J again in 2013 All predicated on lying, submitting false claims, failing to report safety issues, misbranding, doctor kickbacks, and overall fuckery that killed and/or ruined millions of lives.
  5. Would have been better if you had a handful of blue pills and said Mrs Brat, i'm coming for dat ass!
  6. This is a little on the nose. Let's not conflate actuarial tables to Auschwitz. It's all based upon risk assessment and ROI. Not defending these fucks, but they've been able to conflate the processes and compartmentalize everything so much that very few individuals are making these decisions. In the vein of keeping this as simplistic as we can, it "seems" the entire healthcare system is designed to keep you alive for as long as possible, but in a diminished capacity. Pills for this, but not for that. A hundred different "specialists" that used to just get taken care of by your family doctor most of the time. I have to see this guy before I see that guy, to get this covered before I do that. It's fucked. I don't know who is actually at the top, pulling the strings - but the entire system is a giant self-licking ice cream cone.
  7. Yep, a targeted and specific attack on a person representative of a larger, corporate threat. This is Fight Club shit.
  8. Please don't HALO this. The script is there. The story is there. Just make it cool and awesome and don't try to get cute.
  9. I hear Duke has a recent opening....;)
  10. Assuming it's the 4-cylinder? 4x2? Bulletproof little trucks
  11. Great find, seriously. Good deals on Tacos are rare as rooster lips
  12. 100%, I'd say THE best, but I'm hungover from a vendor function and can't think of any others....
  13. They adapted, leaned on their defense, run-game, and Mahomes making plays with his legs. Kelsey is still a HOF TE, even if he's long in the tooth. That's the point. They are good enough to change how they attack other defenses.
  14. Yep. If only we had a mobile QB that could make plays if/when they break down with his legs. This is why QE has regressed. Happened last year when Brooks went down. Teams sell out to stop the run, disguise their coverages, and dare QE to beat them. Same as this year. Hell, if QE would just step up and into the pocket and possibly run for 3-4 yards it completely changes things.
  15. For what, your fantasy football league? They have one of the best defenses in the league, hosses on the O-line, especially the interior. Pacheco runs mad as hell, and their receiver corps over the years on the SB teams have been great. Everyone uses the same excuse they did with Brady - that he was superman surrounded by a bunch of spares.
  16. Let's also not think that Sark is the only one clutching to their starting QB pearls. Kirby HAD to make a switch and it arguably won them the game. Kid's not going to be able to continue to do that with tape out on him, but for that one game, it mattered. I damn sure hope Sark is working on formations and schemes that utilize both Arch and QE. Ewers is more experienced and it better at intermediate routes. Arch is bigger/faster, can run, is inexperienced, and throws a better deep ball. At the very least, use him like Tebow before he took over the starting job.
  17. Are you honestly saying all else being equal, both QB's get to play with this year's team, that the QE team beats the Ehlinger team? No way.
  18. The overall team is much better. The O-line is better. The receivers, the defense. What I want to know if why QE is still making the same costly mistakes now, that he was making last season?
  19. Oh, it's 100% on Sark. Shit play calling. Shit preparation. And shit development and unwillingness to make changes, especially mid-game.
  20. You're splitting hairs. Nobody is saying you can just grab anyone, what they are saying is relative to the surrounding talent, star-rankings, and hype around QE, he has vastly underperformed. There are dozens of lower rated QB's that are playing at a much higher level around the country right now that most fans would trade straight up for. I don't hate Ewers. I want him to succeed. I also want him to quit making the same GD mistakes he's been making over the last two seasons. I assume he wants to play in the NFL. Can we start with making quicker reads? Consistent footwork? Consistent throwing motion? These are the bare bones stuff scouts will need to address. How are they still a thing?
  21. THIS is what I'm pulling my hair out about - teams are keying on the run, disguising their coverages, and our O-coordinators and QB seem incapable of attacking them and picking them apart. The sole TD Saturday was a great individual play and a broken tackle.
  22. QE had some good games, but also shit the bed games as well. He's frustratingly easy (apparently) to confuse when his running game is contained. As mobile as he seems to be, he also seems incapable of moving around in the pocket to extend plays, especially stepping up and into the pocket. He flushes, often back and to the right and he's no danger to run anymore like he used to be.
  23. Last year's team and this, with Sam Ehlinger, you can make the argument is looking for back-to-back MNC's. QE is a good, but not great college QB. He struggles massively with making quick reads, recognizing defensive coverages, and staying healthy. He's not willing any team to victory. He's good enough to maintain success, but with the weapons around him, he's woefully inadequate. Hell, I'd argue a healthy David Ash on this team performs better than a healthy QE.
