Looks like little Justin got banned from here again by KMIZ. Yet again he changes his name. Pathetic he has to keep changing his log in just to make childish, idiotic posts. Must be getting his hours cut at McDs to have the time to do it so often.

What gripes me is that the big pharmaceutical companies charge US citizens through the roof for their drugs, but then they sell the same drugs to other countries at a fraction of the cost

Why don’t they just print more medicine?

We have 3D printers that crank out ghostly guns, surely we can clone a pill.

No. Big Pharm makes a killing on this crap they bring in from China and they have to pay off all of the Reps and Senators who are on the take plus 10% for The Big Guy. Don't expect any miracles.

The profits go to R & D. Most of these people drive broken Chevy Cruzes with failed turbochargers. The wealthier drive used BMWs. And they don't care about the poor only the ones they can get money from.

Pharm companies already make billions of dollars. Far to many people in this country can't afford their prescriptions. Absolutely congress should step in and regulate prices

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
