How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives
Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.
More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx siteΒ have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRxΒ for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugsΒ for $16.65.

Iβve been reading my own gas meter for years as it helps me track my use and see how much the heat pump reduces my usage. I report it on time every month.
Yet Enbridge still occasionally says βthat CANβT be rightβ and estimates my usage.
January: 67 m3 used.
Enbridge: Naw, more like 484 m3.

President Trump has said he wants Republicans to nationalize elections in at least 15 states.

fossil fuels βbiomass (via rotting underground) βsolar
but

so really, all (?) energy on earth is nuclear energy

Rotting is most definitely an inappropriate way to describe the formation of fossil fuels like oil, methane and coal.
