No they can’t just force drug companies to lower prices with a an executive order. Executive orders aren’t laws, they are orders to the parts of government that the President has power over. The president can order that agencies to look into ways of lowering costs, but Congress has to actually pass laws to legally limit prices.
The W name feels intentional to me- they didn’t want to call it World 2 but it works for people abbreviating it MHW2.
They would be nowhere if they didn’t have his money. Otherwise Musk actively hinders his companies with his idiocy. This is well known from SpaceX employees.

The companies’ success is from being in fields that the employees are passionate about so they’ll grit their teeth and put up with it to be able to work there.
And fighting for free speech, are you kidding? He’s fighting for his own speech period. Anything he doesn’t like tends to get journalists temp banned or shadowbanned from Twitter for example.
Because in most places adults are allowed to make unhealthy choices. It’s the same principle as not being allowed to market alcohol to kids.
The enemy of my enemy is a useful temporary ally.
The context is the SK President suddenly declared martial law.
Flip 5, love the form factor and haven’t had any screen or hinge problems. The crease doesn’t bother me, but I do wish the battery life were better (though it’s not much different than my phone before it).
Yeah if that’s all that needed replacing. The entire system is ancient, not just the disks, like:
Much more critical than the dated use of floppy disks is the system’s loop cable, which transmits data between the central servers and the trains and, according to Roccaforte, “has less bandwidth than an old AOL dial-up modem.”
The SFMTA’s website adds:
The loop cable is fragile and easily disturbed. This makes subway maintenance more difficult. This also means the system cannot be extended outside the subway, along surface rail, where currently we don’t have automatic train control.
Well then reply to them, not the other person replying to them. You’re causing the confusion here. You don’t always need to reply to the latest post in a thread.

Got it, giving an opinion that someone should not be invited to speak at a specific location is apparently not an expression of free speech, it’s suppression of free speech. Just like how if someone comes up to you on the street and starts yelling in your face, it’d be suppression of speech for you to ask them to do that somewhere else.
You’re literally claiming things that are not true. Voicing your opinion against a prospective (as in it hasn’t even happened) action by the Speaker of the House is a right afforded to everyone, including representatives. Speaking against something is not perversely somehow suppressing speech. Saying someone is not allowed to speak against something is suppressing of speech.
You have not explained your reasoning at all on how saying they’re against Netanyahu speaking in front of the House is subversion of free speech and not just those representatives exercising their own freedom of speech. That is exactly what freedom of speech is, the right for everyone in the US to voice their opinions.
In contrast, there is no right to speak in front of the House, especially not for a foreign politician. The Speaker can invite someone to speak, and if anyone physically interferes with the invitee’s speaking or shouts over them, that would be a violation of House procedures, not any infringement on their freedom of speech. They would not have been silenced or punished. They would not have been gagged (physically or otherwise). They would still be able voice their opinions.
Actual examples of speech suppression would be searching and questioning pro-Palestinian journalists at the border, and arrests of peaceful non trespassing protestors.
Did you sit down and watch the whole movie and not just the dramatic moments as YouTube clips? Outside of a few good Denzel moments, the movie was just awful in terms of dialogue, pacing, and blunt ‘foreshadowing’
Oh they found him dead, and was there a speedy trial of the entire village in absentia that afternoon? Dark parallels to mass lynching of black people in the Jim Crow south.
These are normal whole melons with normal nutritional value? And I can vomit an infinite number of them? For one watermelons are delicious so I could have one on hand at any time. I’d learn to develop my power over time so every melon I vomit would be the most delicious watermelon anyone’s tasted. I’d fake a hydroponic growing operation and start selling them at $30 a pop. Eventually I’d be so good with my power I could vomit a hundred watermelons a minute and with that kind of throughout I could just start using watermelons frivolously. I’d make them into fertilizer, make a plastic replacement from watermelon, use them as landfill to build artificial land in the sea. Watermelon Man would rule the world.
It’s a bank not a hedge fund. The investors would be the regular people that made deposits- you know, the victims of the fraud. So your knee jerk reaction is “investors bad” without thinking about anything?
That was one scene out of a whole trilogy of Stormtroopers having terrible aim.
In early depictions of Batman, there were times in which he freely killed criminals and times where he was an officially deputized state agent. In contrast, most depictions since at least the late 80s and 90s were much more progressive, with Bruce Wayne being the biggest philanthropist in Gotham, helping to provide low cost housing and healthcare, as well as funding criminal rehabilitation and direct job placement for ex-cons with Wayne Industries. Writers were aware of the other aspects of justice that Batman needed to embody long before it was trendy on the internet to edgily portray Batman as a billionaire who enjoys beating people up for fun.
No he’s being a blowhard as usual, saying he’s doing things that he’s not. He can sign an executive order but that’s not going to do anything to get drug companies to give to their profits, because he has no direct legal power over them.
