GLP-1s aren’t “forever drugs.” They’re eliminated so fast from your system you need to keep taking them to keep the effect. That’s the opposite of a forever drug. If you go off them, you just return to the way you were.

Economically, it’s to avoid free-rider effects. This benefit largely seems alien to tech people because the industry inherently has other moats: network effects, data and code in a server instead of a product sold to consumers that competit

The article even addresses that: > The yacht crew had been operating on a different radio channel, Baker told Forbes. “The assist was already under way” by the time they reviewed the broadcast, he said. It’s just naked propaganda.

What you’re describing is “pretext” and it’s a different thing than disparate impact. You can find liability for pretext even when something is facially race neutral. You have to show circumstantial evidence that the race-neutral rule is be

Why would you accuse me of making it up? E.g. , https://www.evictpro.us/blog/how-long-does-eviction-take-in-... . This says that in Maryland, a typical timeline for a contested eviction is 90-150 days. Why do people al

My wife comes from a lower middle class family so she’s a big deal finder and coupon clipper and cooks at home. We spend $1,100 a month on groceries, for 2 adults and 3 kids. Lunch for me most days is some bread and cheese, or a hot dog, or
