  • Writing history is more than just what's actually written down. Stories passed through word of mouth, that stick around, are a part of history a la German Scientists making themselves seems smarter after losing. Which is a reoccurring trope throughout Media.

    So yes, history is sometimes 'written' by the losers

  • Actually History isn't always written by the victors... This is the origin of a lot of persistent and false memes...

    You may remember history but your reading comprehension needs a little work

  • France was literally trying to swim in the river so they would have to build anything and people were complaining. There's no winning, is there?

  • Love is when you'll still do something even if it's 100% not what you want to do because it'll make them happy

  • Luckily, so far, I never had to. Although I only arrive like an hour before my flight and only missed a couple due to traffic. Both times I was rescheduled on the next flight no problems.

  • I traveled the world for years and missed several flights

    1. just off of that line I would assume the dude's made way more flights than missed
    2. he went on to say it's not the end of the world if you do miss a flight. As it's not. Since there will be more flights soon; so there's no need to panic
  • Max and Lando looked like two happy kids until George stepped into the cool down room haha

  • Trump did start the lower cost of insulin train, but when he started it was only for "1,750 standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans." ^(1)

    So yeah I guess he started it, but Biden actually did it with his Inflation Reduction Act, which Democratic lawmakers pushed through Congress in 2022. ^(2) (3)

    Edit: sorry for the format on this one. I copied it from an earlier comment where I was being snarky

  • He only capped it for 1750 patients for 1 year. Biden got it done for everyone

  • While the Final Rule implementing EO 13937 was intended to increase access to affordable insulin and epinephrine, it did not fully understand FQHC operations and 340B Program mechanics, nor did it consider the possible negative consequences. If the Final Rule is implemented, it will do more harm than good in terms of ensuring access to care and medications for underserved populations
