The Philadelphia water department is studying how best to raise freshwater mussels. Why? So they can raise an absolute shit ton and put them in our rivers. Freshwater mussels are incredibly important for filtering excess nutrients and particulates from water. By deploying a million mussels a year the water department hopes to use these critters to improve our city’s water quality! Right now they raise about 10,000 mussels a year and hope to scale up to a million a year soon!

Edit: These are native species of mussels that belong here!

I laugh.

You laugh.

We all laugh. Loudly.

Less than three months after U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and her colleagues launched an investigation into the four major American manufacturers of inhalers, three of the companies have relented, making commitments to cap costs for their inhalers at $35 for patients who now pay much more.

25 million Americans have asthma and 16 million Americans have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), meaning over 40 million Americans rely on inhalers to breathe.

Inhalers have been available since the 1950s, and most of the drugs they use have been on the market for more than 25 years.

According to a statement from the Wisconsin Senator’s office, inhaler manufacturers sell the exact same products at a much lower costs in other countries. One of AstraZeneca’s inhalers, Breztri Aerosphere, costs $645 in the U.S.—but just $49 in the UK. Inhalers made by Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, and Teva have similar disparities.

Baldwin and her Democratic colleagues—New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján, Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders—pressured the companies to lower their prices by writing letters to GSK, Boehringer Ingelheim, Teva, and AstraZeneca requesting a variety of documents that show why such higher prices are charged in America compared to Europe.

As a ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Baldwin recently announced that as a result of the letters they had secured commitments from three of the four to lower the out-of-pocket costs of inhalers to a fixed $35.00 rate.

“For the millions of Americans who rely on inhalers to breathe, this news is a major step in the right direction as we work to lower costs and hold big drug companies accountable,” said Senator Baldwin.

A full list of the inhalers and associated drugs can be viewed here.

It’s the second time in the last year that pharmaceutical companies were forced to provide reasonable prices—after the cost of insulin was similarly capped successfully at $35 per month thanks to Congressional actions led by the White House.

Truth Social investing is about faith in Trump, not business fundametals - The Washington Post

Jerry is idiot is 71 years-old and Jerry the idiot says “I know good and well it’s in Trump’s hands, and he’s got plans. I have no doubt it’s going to explode sometime.“

Oh, Jerry. It’s going to explode, just not in the way you think. Get ready to die in poverty, buddy!

If Jerry didn’t have his head so far up Hair Shitler’s ass, he would easily recall how the IPO for Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (THCR) fleeced another gaggle of suckers who lost it all betting on a con man and his overvalued brand. The stock debuted at $35 per share and went on to net The Donald® tens of millions of dollars through questionable inside stock sales, executive bonuses, and dubious accounting. The company was a Taj Mahal size White Elephant and went on to lose hundreds of millions of dollars before the stock was delisted when its value plunged to 17¢ per share. The company declared bankruptcy 4 times between 1991 and 2014 and bondholders got stiffed for around $1.5 billions.

Hello welcome my ADHD themed gameshow, "So you were holding it literally moments ago but now it's gone" the where YOU look for whatever you were just holding while going increasingly mad

I put a smell on you

And now you’re mine

Won’t lie, if I were having a rough time and the office himbos brought me mac and cheese I would be cured.

Small, clumsy kindnesses, earnestly given, are more healing than you would believe. More adults should be willing to show the tender caring that a little kid expresses when they say, “You looked sad, so I brought you a rock.”

yes

If you see this message on your timeline, I wish you unconditional love and great success.

“i don’t think we can use this one, guys. who exactly is the target audience supposed to be???”
