i'm not sure why you think that the drug was pricey cause it cost a ton to produce. there's no evidence for that in the piece I quoted

That's the default. Drugs only get cheap per unit dose when you can stick a billion dollar factory at the business end of a long supply chain of other factories and crank it out by the ton. Note that by 'expensive' here I mean 'expensive to a normal person', so probably 4-5 figures, not goddamn 7. Totally reasonable for a treatment that'll prolong lives by decades and prevent equally or more expensive hospital stays, by which I mean to say that this is all still a capitalist perversion of common sense and basic morality but some perspective is important. It will never be as cheap as ibuprofen.

It is an enhancement of the normal sunset in the area. They're not saying it's a good thing.

I mean, I’m sorry? It seems to me that our options are “lovely lady supported by Blue Dogs” and “Nancy Pelosi,” because Barbara Lee or someone like her isn’t challenging the Speakership. If she was, I would support her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Has there been much indication of how the behind the scenes negotiations are going and what Pelosi is doing?

Because from what I see the reps who are most committed to not-Pelosi are a bunch of self-important conservative shits and I am hoping that they are doing this primarily because they are mad that progressives are being given important roles which is interfering with the conservadems' ladder-climbing ambitions and desire to grandstand as "sensible democrats willing to work with bipartisanship".

I'm not sure how to read "enhancing" as anything other than a positive sentiment. They could have said "affecting" or "altering" and nobody would have batted an eye.

A lot of those Reps put themselves in this position by making campy promises not to support Pelosi while running in deep red areas. Now here we are.

Trump's statement about the Saudis paying $40-50 million for his apartments is actually a stunning admission of a massive conflict of interest, and is guaranteed to be used against him in the various lawsuits that have been filed regarding the Emoluments Clause.

she's been going around to basically everybody to see what they want done in the next 2+ years, as she should

the traitors challengers are couching everything in "pelosi old, we need new blood" and Tim Ryan tried to overthrow her once before, so while I find your narrative pretty compelling there doesn't seem to be any hard evidence that they're going "progressives! :argh: "

or rather, that that's what's motivating them to get a little more off their asses than last time

But the sunsets do objectively look better/more colorful. It's for a horrible reason, but you can't change the reality of how the sky looks.

Trabniskof a bit ago made the best Pelosi Bad argument I've seen, which is that the lack of other qualified people is at least a LITTLE bit her fault. I agree with this now that I have watered the wording down. :v: Even if we weren't all looking for a more progressive Democratic party we should still be hoping she prepares a new good Speaker because she's almost 80 years old and that's only really an acceptable age for Bernie Sanders, who will be kept strong and vital for another twenty years by the socialism burning in his heart.
Actually people have been making this argument for a really long time, but I'm glad it finally got through I guess :shrug:
