I am interested in most phases of data processing.
Target has become way more trouble than its worth. Like it's supposed to be the aspirational middle-class Wal-Mart. That doesn't work if it becomes actually worse than Wal-Mart.

One of these days I'm gonna open a drawer in a hotel and find a copy of fuckin' Dianetics aren't I

I went to a chain hotel in Atlanta a few years back and they had a little bookshelf in the lobby full of copies to take. That hotel also had the book of Mormon thing going on in the rooms.

I peeked in the window of one of the scientology places around here once and the room appeared to be a library but every shelf just had a single copy of Dianetics on it, square in the middle with nothing else.

Estimated Sustainable Cost-Based Prices for Diabetes Medicines

That wegovy that costs people $1000+ a month?

Probably costs a dollar or less per month to make. Definitely less than $5.

In actual production costs, yeah. The issue is research, development, testing and approval, which costs a lot over a long period of time. The price is all about getting a return on the investment, not about production costs.
Which is why it should be a publicly funded endeavour to make medicine.
Also this is why it takes like a month between a medical patent expiring and generics becoming available at like a thousandth of the price.

yeah the makers of wellbutrin still paying off the debt they got into when another company came up with it in 1969 and approved in 1985... poor guys

The cost for Wellbutrin XL oral tablet, extended release (150 mg/24 hours) is around $2,113 for a supply of 30 tablets, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Quoted prices are for cash-paying customers and are not valid with insurance plans. This price guide is based on using the Drugs.com discount card which is accepted at most U.S. pharmacies.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
It's absolutely insane how expensive pysch meds are, even more so than others. Like, do you want people to be able to function at all? The answer of course, is no.

It's not even private, the door is glass. Otherwise, and assuming a lock and no cameras, it would be a great place for workplace masturbation.
I see how it's great for idiot top management, it has all sorts of measurements you can turn into KPIs! And a budgetable cost!

But if you actually want to send the message that you care, maybe try caring?

Honestly, a soundproofed room kept freezing cold with boxes of frozen french fries to punch while you yell would probably be way more effective and way cheaper than whatever that thing is, and on top of it you've got an extra big freezer for people to use at their own risk
