Would Jesus like Alligator Alcatraz?
Joe Ferguson forever replied to SectionC3's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think he would speak out against it. At a minimum he'd use the abusers in a lesson about how not to be. -

Probably the best collection of ancient middle East artifacts on earth. Most a bit older than Jesus but still relevant. https://armstronginstitute.org/29-touring-the-bible-at-the-british-museum -

They fought many wars to define borders back then. They were brutal times. And Jesus was still teaching to accept the foreigner and turn the other cheek. -

They're not buzzwords, they're truths. Those things that maga's choose to ignore. -
The author is "a midwestern doctor". Awesome! Could have a PhD in astronomy or have graduated Grenada med school... Two things can be true. Drug companies want to make money. And the drugs they produce can be life saving or drastically improving. Decent treatment for alzheimers is way overdue. Could save billions on nursing home care (which is losing capacity due to shipping off so many immigrant workers). Everyone is not out to get you. but please don't take any life saving drugs. We'll all be better off.

For the same reasons Dr Scott Isaacs is. They are revolutionary drugs. The benefits far outweigh the risks for most people. All drugs have adverse effects. tylenol can cause liver failure. Aspirin can cause major bleeds. They're still available OTC while glp 1's are carefully supervised by doctors. re the discontinuation rate, most of it is due to cost https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/high-costs-likely-lead-early-semaglutide-discontinuation-2025a1000h5s stop reading cartoon articles and read the original papers....

Here's an original, uncherry picked article by Scott Isaacs. He's a big fan of glp 1's: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/scott-isaacs-md-facp-face-ba16278_glp1-glp1ra-activity-7248689710997323776-Laeq "appetite regulation, influencing insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and gastric emptying. The therapeutic use of GLP-1RAs has evolved significantly, offering various formulations that provide different efficacy, routes of admin- istration, and flexibility in dosing. These agents reduce HbA1c levels, facilitate weight loss, and exhibit cardiovascular protective effects, making them an integral component of T2DM and obesity management."

the stock was at 16 in May. If you bought at 24 earlier in the year(you posted in February), you were down 33% in May. Now you've doubled after a 20% increase last week. things change. maybe it goes up, maybe it goes down. if I was interested in the stock, I would have noticed the spring slide and reminded you.

some of the market agrees. from Jefferies, Aug 18 “We estimate the buyside could be baking in ~1GW of sales in ’27. With BE expanding capacity to 2GW (1.3GW for product, rest for service) by YE26, hitting that target is possible. However, cadence and timing of deals matter, and we question whether investors are getting ahead of themselves. With BE +20% last week: expectations are ramping with DC deal & efforts by PJM to require new supply with new load. At current levels, we try to determine implied volumes. The stock is currently trading at ~22x ’27E EBITDA of $526mn. The median multiple for data center / hyperscalers adjacent cos is ~18x (Ex – 2). To justify a more ‘normalized’ multiple, investors might be baking much higher EBITDA growth vs sell-side cons.” There's always risk. No such thing as a sure thing. but good for you.

Trump voter remorse.
Joe Ferguson forever replied to 4th&long's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
it's either atrocious or it's not. there is no "very atrocious, JD. lower income trump voters will eventuallylly understand what the "Beautiful" bill is doing to them. from "The Hill" “First of all, the Congressional Budget Office, sometimes they put out reports that are absolutely atrocious, and I think this is a good example of a very atrocious report,” he said to applause from the crowd. The CBO report, which was done at the request of Democrats, found that the top 10 percent of earners in the country will see an average boost of $13,600 per year over the next decade as a direct result of provisions in the law, while the bottom 10 percent will see an average annual decrease of $1,200. -
and how are you going to personally benefit by what you forsee? How are you prepared? are you one of the short bus morons from Jan 6? trump did give some jobs in his admin. Is that what you aspire to? fascism and dictatorships are antiquated. Democracy is relatively new. I'll stick with democracy. there are plenty of other sources for the timeline including the minutes of the Jan 6 committee....

Her point is that one instance is as bad as the other, dumbass. btw, where's "doc"? did he give up on his charade? -
from Politifact The U.S. president, defense secretary and U.S. Army secretary are the only people authorized to activate the District of Columbia National Guard. The House select committee on Jan. 6, after its 18-month-long investigation, concluded that official records and witness testimony showed Trump didn’t make that order Jan. 6, 2021. On the day of the Capitol attack, Paul Irving, then-House sergeant-at-arms, first asked Pelosi’s chief of staff for permission to contact the Pentagon for National Guard support at 1:40 p.m. — about 30 minutes after rioters had broken through the barricades surrounding the Capitol. A few minutes later, Pelosi approved Irving’s request. But because of delayed approval from Pentagon officials, National Guard troops didn’t arrive at the Capitol for another four hours, The New York Times reported. how are you going to benefit from the fascists winning?
