Uber is a cab service where every day people can use their cars to drive. You have to register with uber in order to drive, and they track who you pick up and where you go. So it's... safer than just a total stranger, but it still seems a bit odd to me after being told to never do that for my whole life. Like, if they kill you, they will probably be caught. But you'll also be dead, so there's that.

I agree that he's proven himself to be a racist.
However, just because all racists disapprove of illegal immigration, that doesn't mean that everyone who disapproves of illegal immigration is a racist. Illegal immigration is a genuinely important topic because it is wreaking havoc on the economies and safety of the border states (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, SoCal). Most people who treat it as just a racism issue are not from those areas and don't really know what they're talking about.

It's in the article I linked to. But basically instead of letting capitalism work the way it's supposed to work, they stepped in and added extreme costs for companies to get approved to create a drug that has already been approved. Because of this, no other companies could get approved. There is no patent on the drug - any company could make it if the government would allow them. But in the US, this douche saw that no other companies would ever be able to compete with him, so he could raise the price as high as he wanted. This is what happens when there isn't competition.

The guy is a douche for sure, but the real problem is that the government got involved and made it possible for him to do it in the first place. The same pill costs only a few cents in India, and not much more than that in Europe.

Yet all the people who are angry at this guy want to give more power to the government to keep this from happening again. Brilliant, sheeple. Brilliant.

I'd be 101.
But my grandma remembered the 90's in her 90's in the 90's.
Well, I mean, she sort of remembered them.

She looks like that sad ass frog after it's been decomposing for a few months.

An outlet won't kill. But it'll give ya a good shock and scare the living daylight out of you.

Part of me wants to experience it just to understand. But the rest of me is happy with the eyesight I have.
