I have about had it with everything being "woke". If only I could lob a rotten tomato at an R every time I hear the word.

Well, I mean -- look. If you're fed up with the way the word has been bastardized and repurposed to be pejorative, you're going to have to lay that at the feet of racist Whites who want to try to control everyone else's communication and understanding.

Because that particular usage did not belong to them. Much in the historical / imperialist / Confederate vein that precedes them, they STOLE it.

This is the only thing Haley and the others can talk about, because she can't talk about Republicans' real agenda, which is cutting taxes for billionaires and destroying Social Security and Medicare. It's all just performance art.

WTF; I've always had my prescriptions filled at Walgreens, and buy a ton of other things when I'm there picking up my drugs.Guess I'll have to start a search for an alternative pharmacy. I will let them know once I do, and tell them why they're not getting my business anymore.

In Chicago they still do, as well as booze.

Walgreens also does Medicare fraud--on one of my prescriptions, if I go I and pay cash for it, it costs $62 but they bill Medicare for $95,a 50% markup. The inflated prices also count towards the "donut hole" and shorten the time my copays go up so, a double whammy

Non members can use Costco’s pharmacy, among other services. I wouldn’t hesitate.

" It's all just performance art."

It's not JUST performance art.

It would be a lot more innocuous if it were "just" that. But it's not -- and part of the reason the harm is so insidious is that people continue to minimize it.

They figure if they keep their heads down and play nice with the crazees, they won't get DeSantised like Disney.

You know. "If the leopard doesn't notice my face..."

I could be wrong, but, (as a Newark-er born-n-bred), that Walgreen's (in the pitcher above), is occupying the old Opera House in Newark, DE. It's a damn shame, and a beautiful old building. (I can't stress this enough-- Newark, Delaware, used to have a f**king opera house!!)

Costco.

Some Safeways and other Supermarkets have Pharmacies. I think Costco’s Pharmacies aren’t necessarily member only. And if there’s a decent Pharmacy in a farther away town, they might ship by mail, maybe Costcos too. Kaiser does that for me.
