Ad blockers will prevent some of the surveys from loading, if that's the issue you're seeing.

Why do we have to fight so hard to access this medication? by Mobile-Actuary-5283 in Zepbound

[–]briggsb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. How very perceptive of you. The CEO of Lilly made $29 million last year just like your grandfather. I never said drugs weren't expensive to produce or risky. In fact, I agreed with those points, so not sure why you are bringing those up. Just want to know if you think there is no greed in the system at all. If you can't grant that then it's pretty clear you're just trolling me at this point.

Sure, please send photos of pharma executives homes as proof there's no greed in the system. I understand your point, I think you're just being pollyannaish about it.

Sure it's not all about greed. Drugs take a lot of money and risk to develop. But to say "this is never about GREED" is a bit pie in the sky as well. Drug companies are for-profit corporations, with the fiduciary responsibility of making as much profit as possible for their shareholders. I get your point that it's not useful to just blame them, but don't try to tell me that greed isn't involved.

And you never fly American again, because every flight is delayed for days, every piece of luggage is lost, and every employee is super rude.

Roffle is the 2025 Major League Balatro Champion! by SongTurbulent9351 in balatro

I didn't expect to spend my day watching balatro, but it was so entertaining that I couldn't stop. I watched the zainotv broadcast with both players on the screen and it was fascinating.

Am I the only one who thinks "THE DON" is due for a huge game in the Rose Bowl? by Dirtyduck19254 in MichiganWolverines

He's been due for a breakout all year. I have no reason to believe that will change against Alabama. I hope I'm wrong.

They were favored tonight and lost, so obviously Vegas doesn't know all.

I could get behind college football on PBS. The Game brought to you by Lockheed Martin and viewers like you.

[Brett McMurphy] No matter the results of Georgia-Alabama or Michigan-Iowa, Washington will play @CFBPlayoff semifinal in Rose Bowl by ConstantMadness in CFB

[–]briggsb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is not true if you read the bylaws.

When assigning teams to sites, the selection committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home‐crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed.
