I've already heard her saying I'm not friendly and I don't know who should I react.

I don't understand why we can't just do our jobs and go home.

Self aggrandizing people being gossipy and passive aggressive...sounds like grad school.

I guess we should just do nothing then.

The "argument" that something should be absolutely perfect to warrant taking any kind of action on it, has to be one of the dumbest possible ways of thinking about things.

Pretty sure he was about to do that, only to have republicans take it to the supreme court where it was struck down. I don't get why there's still this narrative of Biden being the bad guy because he can't just wipe out all student debt, and why some people keep framing that as his choice. I thought we all watched that SCOTUS case play out in real time.

Being born there, living your entire life there, your whole family and all your friends are there, you went to high school and college there so it's easier to transfer to a CSU for grad school, and cheaper because you won't have to pay non-resident fees, etc etc. The same reason people don't move from other places. Besides, it takes a lot of savings to move, especially out of state, especially when you have to keep going back and forth to look at places. There's also just not wanting to move. I am really not ok with being forced out of my home and away from my family because of bullshit like this.

And yes the weather really is that good - in Southern California.

It's true, but perfection is still the enemy of progress.

I'd remind you that lots of doctors made a lot of money by unnecessarily prescribing Oxycontin that the spiraled into the opioid crisis.

Wait, so where were these insurance companies then and why weren't they acting as "checks" on these doctors? It couldn't have just been a minor oversight by the insurance companies either, considering it did spiral into a nationwide crisis.

Used to be one in Citrus Heights. It was gross. Wouldn't expect any less.

And this is what everyone was bitching about when he was trying to do the one time cancellation. "Well that won't solve the real problem!" And now he's doing something to address that, and it apparently still isn't good enough. It just shows why so many dissenters actually find it offensive, and that's because it helps people.

What I don't understand is how some states charge the same excise tax rate on stop smoking aids that they do on cigarettes and vapes. For example, California's is like 25% at least, and I think that's the lowest of the states with the excise tax on "tobacco." I thought the whole point of taxation was to get people to quit? But it's only on stuff like Zyn and One pouches, Rogue gum, etc. which are tobacco free, while Nicorette as a brand seems to be exempt from excise tax. Their products are exactly the same, but twice as expensive and work half as well. It's also counterproductive to have to go to vape shops to buy nicotine gum and pouches because California has made it impossible to get them shipped. Obviously getting people to quit is not the real goal.
