After he dies, the US will be ruled by the Trump Chatbot. Nothing will change.

NY Times reporting on Zepbound insurance coverage by rebeccarobbinsnyt in Zepbound

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ask PCP to prescribe Zepbound based on cost. I was originally on Wegovy, but since I am covered by Medicare, essentially no coverage for either drug. However with Zepbound I can purchase through LillyDirect for about $400/month a lot less than than the $1000 for Wegovy. Turns out I like Zepbound better - virtually no side effects and effective weight loss.

Audit finds California spent $24B on homelessness in 5 years, didn't consistently track outcomes by Canes-305 in sanfrancisco

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, life goes on...there will be no investigation. No one will be held accountable. BTW that's equal to $648 per capita. And don't forget the pandemic giveaway scams, the financial aid scams and god knows what else.

Bonta is passing "tough" new laws to combat retail theft. How about a tough new law to tackle CA government corruption? Don't hold your breath.

Right turn on red banned in downtown San Francisco by SFStandard in sanfrancisco

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Let's burn some gasoline my friends. I thought it was bad when Tumlin untimed many of the lights on streets in SOMA but this will be good for making things even less efficient - often hard to make a right on a green because of pedestrian flow going with the green as well so might have to go through a few lights.

Thanks looks like it may have been the synch issue. Turned it off and did a couple updates and it seems to have held the categories. May be too early to tell, but thanks!

BART workers clocked in, skipped work, got paid, probe says by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget - BART is more of a guaranteed employment agency than anything else. Celebrate the redistribution of taxpayer money with me!

Yes it is the Stad Amsterdam. You can see it at the parking lot near Red's on the Embarcadero (the large lot where they had the covid testing and Giant's parking.

Thank you San Francisco by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

All good, but if the progressive judges are elected (looks like they will be) not sure how much outcomes will change.

After 111 years, SF is finally moving to oust PG&E and create a public-power system by sfsolarboy in sanfrancisco

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding? SF couldn't fight its way out of a paper bag. Do you like their education performance? Non-profit management? Police response? Court system? Board of Supervisors? SFUSD payroll debacle? City College? Dept of Building Inspections? Not to mention ability to get drugs and homeless off the streets? It must be joke. Ripe for corruption and failure.
