You might not have to pay $.02 in taxes every year to accommodate transgender prisoners, but at least egg prices are down...right?

...right?

Oh my God. Eggs are expensive because people aren't buying them!

Ye olde inverted supply and demand, just like my econ professor taught me

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 16 points 1 month ago

Idk what could possibly be causing a supply problem, all the chickens in the country are as healthy as can be.

The DOGE said so.

Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.

I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
Right?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's absurdly actually come down significantly in the US since 2021.

That $98 is a major improvement.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Probably not staying at that price for much longer.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's literally against the law for Medicaid or Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. They have the largest insurance pools, and therefore an incredible amount of leverage, but nope. Gotta pay those insurance companies!

yeahhhhh.... hasanabi was right, targeting trans sports was the easiest and dirtiest way to bring transphobia to the normies. people that don't even give a shit about politics and don't think about trans people one way or another can say "well at least sports are fair now"

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Trans sports is where the boundaries between what people do with their own body is crossed into interaction with others. This is why it has become the favorite point to attack for conservatives.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

They're cool with school shootings, though.

[–] moon@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

That's the perfect way to explain this

Badminton is criminally underrated

[–] Prime_Minister_Keyes@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It might have better PR if they renamed it to "Goodminton."

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They really bury the lede with the whole "shuttlecock" thing. When I learned that shit, it gave it an immediate boost in my teenage brain lol

Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.

Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.

Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

So men don't have to be embarrassed from being beaten by a woman.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk man when I see professional badminton they are smacking the fuck out of the cock

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

I see what you did there, setting up the punchline for your fellow lemmings, now that's what I call service.

This meme is way less impressive for someone living in Europe. Ryanair will take to to either for like 19 euros.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Next you're going to say insulin is only €10

[–] Tja@programming.dev 22 points 1 month ago (4 children)

No, that's a university semester, insulin is 5€.

Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.

No, americans are just speed-running it.
