Those were classy. Probably the classiest bowls anyone has ever seen. Classier even
Oh hell yeah!!! Not getting ahead of myself but this should be one damn fine season.
Sorry about the paywall. Basically, these PBMs are cornering the drug market and making prices artificially high.
There are three major PBMs. CVS, Express Scripts, and some other one I can't remember.
CVS is considered the largest. CVS owns Aetna. CVS owns pharmacies. This is termed, "Vertical Integration", where the same company owns the insurance companies, pharmacies, and other parts of the drug supply chain which gives them the ability to falsely manipulate drug prices. They can also use it to shut down the competition, like mom and pop drug stores by forcing their insurance customers to use their stores. They also give rebates on their drugs and then keep the rebates through their pharmacies, thereby cheating the books. They are also guilty of collusion.
So, yet another example of why anti-monopoly laws need to be enforced ASAP. It might not completely solve the problem but it sure would help.
15B "investment" by Japan but US remains in control. Nippon hasn't commented on whether they accept the US control provision.
Strange deal. Not excited about Japan owning US Steel, but if they allow US Steel's competitor to buy it, US Steel will be closed in order to raise domestic steel prices.
U.S. Sen. David McCormick said Tuesday that an arrangement that will allow Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel will guarantee an American CEO, a majority of board members from the United States and U.S. government approval over certain corporate functions.

US government to have control in Nippon Steel-U.S. Steel deal, Trump and Sen. McCormick say

Don't give up on those boycotts. They are feeling the pain.
Companies are warning investors about the risks of becoming the next target of angry customers.
Corporate America is required to disclose risks to their businesses in their annual regulatory filings. This year, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Corona-parent Constellation Brands join an increasing number of companies advising investors about customer and legal backlash to their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. They’re also giving notice of the risks of rolling back these programs.

No, they are the middleman in the equation.
The beauty of the covid power grab scam was - it wasnt even new. It was literally global warming scam repackaged and resold. All the way down to the "experts agree", "trust the science", and "we're in this together".
They had the most important characteristic, which is key to any liberal scam: an incurable disease (global warming/climate change/climate disruption, racism, etc). Thats because the power was in the problem, not in the cure. If it looks like the problem might get solved, it morphs into another rainbow with an unattainable pot of gold.
Then ya know...maybe he should be arrested.
Right!? I'm an unhinged loon, and an idiot, but even I can figure this out. Why dont they stop fkn around already!
Maybe the Swamp runs coast to coast to coast... and comey must have some serious juice behind him.

"Doom loop of losing business". Lol oh gee you mean like allowing lawless insanity for years?
Post of the week.
So, my ex-wife, who lives on the KY-TN-VA border, is remarrying next month at age 65. Happy for her. Maybe she'll leave me alone.
Her future hubby sold his Harley-Davidson and threw away all HD accessories in protest of HDI policy on gay inclusion. Personally speaking, and as both a shareholder and Hog owner, I view the move as a business decision. None of my concern what goes on behind closed doors except if children involved. Apparently some folks believe otherwise. That's the beauty of the great country -- believe what you want unless others affected.

Might be the best post here until next April...
Perfectly states the difference between Repubs and Dems.
Repubs: go ahead and do what you want... be a freak, whatever... just don't bother me.
Dems: DO WHAT WE SAY AT ALL TIMES!
You know what , that about sums it up exactly.
I was a little worried about Oweh but I guess common sense kicked in for the man. I still won't be completely happy until all 14 are enrolled and attending class. Nearly 3 months away anything can happen, i.e. Acaden Lewis. There's only 200 minutes of playing time per game which will make for some intense practices. I'm sure Pope sold some of these guys on a 2 year or more plan because I just can't see keeping all these guys happy if they expect to play and not warm the bench. Young athletes have a lot of confidence and won't back down from a challenge. All probably think they're good enough to start.
Probably the deepest team in UK history now that the scholarship limit is 15. Excited as I've been in a long time and the first game isn't until November.
Go Cats!

Mayor Gorton w/ another ribbon cutting yesterday at the new "park" by the river, Kelley's Landing.

The master plan estimates the total cost to build out the park to sit between $11.8 and $14.6 million.

So they were protesting migrants being deported AFTER immigration case hearings. Isn't an immigration case hearing the "due process" these people claim isn't happening?
He should go to prison for it, should have been in there long ago, but was able to wrangle immunity from it all if I'm not mistaken, which is partly why he can be so damn smug and pompous about it all.
Interesting...considering I thought the cameras supposedly were not on at the time he died.

Practices are going to be like High level games. Even if a couple of teams have a bit better starting 5, we are three deep with little drop off and will just wear teams out by being relentless.
Building stuff ain't cheap anymore. I don't pay Fayette County taxes, but I see no issues with tax dollars being spent on projects like that for the community to use. If a private investor was to do that, you'd likely have to pay an admission to get in. That's how i expect my tax dollars to be spent to improve the infrastructure and provide ammenities for the communities use. I'd rather it go into that than into overpaying bureaucrats, shelling out millions to settle lawsuits for the shitty actions of your police force, DEI initiatives, and all that type BS.
Aren’t most HD riders gay? The chaps, leather vests, fancy patches, sleeveless shirts, leather boots, etc.
I just assumed they were all big bears.
Normally, perhaps, but this city has numerous issues that $14M would be better spent on than a park by the river.
Maybe they can put in a whole bunch of vans for homeless folks to live in… down by the river…?
*Chris Farley approves*
I don’t live in Lex, but this is the sort of thing I would want if I lived there. I like the greenbelt parks in Louisville and like the improvements to the waterfront.
I give an annual contribution to the Parklands in Louisville, because I use and enjoy the park. I believe that park is a mix of private and public funds. The website says more than $70 million comes from private sources, $38 million from federal funds, $10 million from the state, and $1.5 million from Metro government. It does not receive taxpayer funding for annual operations.
People can debate the legitimacy of any of that public funding, but the mix of private and public funding for projects people want is probably good.
I would think Lexington could do the same. If you cannot raise a chunk of the cost through private donations, it might not be a project worth doing.
*Yawn*
I’ll believe when I see people in cuffs and charged with crimes. Until then it’s the same ol’ dog and pony show we’ve seen for years. I simply have zero faith the powerful folks in the Swamp will EVER be held accountable for anything.
My issue is that the spread of disease, children born out of wedlock (especially to the young and/or impoverished), and other “side effects” of things that go on behind closed doors b/w “consenting adults”, do impact all of us in the nanny state we have created.
We cover healthcare costs for the poor, we pay to feed and educate any child who needs it, etc.
Actions have consequences, and we all share the cost of those consequences.
