• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah so basically what you’re saying is that poverty compounds which I agree with but in that case it’s not just $800 that sits between you and insulin, it’s a whole life filled with financial woes. Losing your house is a far worse situation than not being able to get $800. So let’s not pretend it’s $800 that killed someone.

  I would 1000% sooner take out high interest debt than die. What kind of question is this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  contracting is an interesting choice of word since it could mean decreasing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify acquires music database WhoSampled | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
