Big man. Props, and have a good one!

I think it's 25 now :(

Mfw you are more out of touch with language than the man you're portraying as senile.

Have you honestly never heard a sarcastic "look at __ over here"?

Sure, just remove the department that manages the nations nukes, nbd.

You've already gotten a few corrections from other folks, I'll just add that in the 70s there was no secondhand smoke from smoking either.

Tbf I would assume there's not much volume being sold, considering it's definitely at most a serving being packaged. Afaik nobody is out there buying a handful of these to eat as a snack.

EDIT: based on the other comments, it seems like the average consumer buys at most one of these in their lifetime, haha.

Because this is a social good that results in ROI over decades. If something is not immediately profitable, it is difficult for the private market to be leveraged to find an optimal solution. Situations like that are typically where government has to step in.

One of the things I've learned over time is people can have vastly different perceptions of what being "poor" is, and I suspect that's what's happening here.

I think there are those who could not afford to put down the 1.5k you're quoting.

Not sure if it's your cup of tea, but fair phone just announced that they're committing to supporting the fair phone 5 with 8 years of updates

I never had the pass, so I might be wrong, but IIRC a key point was that for a fixed monthly rate, purchasers of the pass were guaranteed upgrades every two years. That means that Google offered to cap the cost of their phones.

They got rid of this plan, so I suspect the next pixels will be released at higher price points.

The fact that it was cancelled a month before even the very first of the folks on the plan would've received a key offering of the plan makes it seem like google offered this in bad faith, and when viewed in the context of them removing grandfathered rates, etc. That view is only reinforced.

As someone who has had a nest security system and dropzone cameras discontinued, as well as removal of grandfathering status on multiple plans, I still appreciate googles stuff, but I have no expectancy that anything I am enjoying will be continued in the future, and that lack of consistency is concerning.

Seems like it's been that way for a while...

Transplant candidates must also receive the seasonal influenza and hepatitis B vaccines, follow other healthy behaviors, and demonstrate they can commit to taking the required medications following transplant.

Nevermind you trying to misrepresent the subject by saying it's a flu vaccine.
