This reminds me of a few experiences (absolute fucking retards) in my AF career
-
I sense an important point here. What is it?

At bare minimum it'd be easy to say to the pharmaceutical companies they cannot charge the US more than the lowest price they sell their drug for in any other country. Not a price control. Just a balancing of the scales and an evening out of the "markets." Wanna sell your drug for .15/pill in Zimbabwe? Cool with us. That's our price too. The differential price structure is what's fucked. It allows triangulation of the American taxpayer via the mechanism of Medicare, Medicade, and all our other socialized healthcare. I get to work everyday and pay a lot of taxes at the threat of gunpoint for the privilege of lining these massive drug companies' pockets so they can deliver "healthcare." If anyone thought this was a free market, they were consuming mushrooms.

Touché… and sad to hear. Although it shouldn’t, I guess it depends on who you work for 😢

Shiiitttt, this guy hasn’t been TDY almost anywhere. He’d have an aneurism if he went to SE Asia or Eastern Europe.

I’m definitely interested in how this pricing plan plays out.. it’s definitely an unusual approach. Hope it works out.

The PSDM has the nomination process. Had a buddy get denied from applying with 1.5 years TIS and 11 months TOS, just an FYI.

Probably right Flew the -8 MAX, it’s a good jet, not a Bus but good, good high hot takeoff performance, landing is ok, give the right seat a HUD and tiller if Big Blue buys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clearly the author has never been TDY to Romania or Pattaya…..

My theory is nationalized health care systems could not afford or would not pay what U.S. health care insurers would pay so pharma would price gouge in the U.S. because they could. How the drug pricing settles out with leveling the playing field will be interesting.
-
If they are going to set the price of the drug, that's bad. Price controls are never a good thing. But if they are going to establish rules by which pricing must be fair across trading partners, that's an entirely different thing altogether. This is a perfect example of how other countries take advantage of the United States by methods other than tariffs. We don't participate in the same sort of fuck fuck games, so using tariffs as a retaliation are a simple way to make the problem go away.

What's wrong with the Air Force?

I think the universal reaction to seeing a dude butt flash is 'aw man, I didn't need to see that, you got me." Or something like that. The fact the reprimander (Forest Gump?) chose to call it sexual misconduct, leads me to think they were aroused. Maybe is was a lady butt. Butt most likely, I'm guessing the flasher is a troublemaker and paper is being generated for their tossing. Nonetheless, shockered, I am. -

Come on brother...you are smart and there are better ways to make an actual point about economic policy. Think critically...this is a FAR more complicated issue than Communist price control. This is more about trade and ending a sweet heart deal the Pharmaceutical industry has had for FAR too long. It is not a free market when the rest of the world limits the price and the only "free" market is in the U.S. The United States represents 4% of the world's population but we generate 66% of the profit in the pharmaceutical industry. The high price of new drugs has always been falsely explained as the cost of research...true or not it is now time for the rest of the world to share in that development cost.

PSDM 25-44 (the pdf is posted towards the beginning of the thread) has some of the answers you’re looking for. Do you have your letter of recommendation and personal letter drafted as well? And have you talked to your leadership about your interest in applying?

At the bro level, we have been talking a lot about what could replace the C-40 and C-32 as they start to get long in the tooth. Apparently, Boeing originally had an idea for a 787-300 that the Japanese wanted for short dense inter-island flying and it would have been the basis for the 787 BBJ as well. The real big issue is the foot print of a 787, be it a fictional -3 or a real -8/9/10, is way bigger than a 757 or 737. We are talking an extra 70 feet of wing let alone PCN issues. Airport flexibility goes way down, hell, we already sank a C-32 into the pavement at MDW because of a PCN being wrong in the Giant. A 787 wouldn't even be able to land at MDW, let alone park. I fear the MAX9 or 10 is really the only replacement for the C-32 and it simplifies crewing because it's a shared type. But it will come with a performance and capability hit. Best to bring it online right as we change administrations so there isn't any growing pain...like that'll ever happen.

Yeah, for the survivability and other requirements i don’t know of exactly I can see the quad being preferable, might not be required but as 747s are available here we go… Split the mission double the bill and make several CODELs happy 😉 747s for overseas and 787s for domestic / near abroad

There should be no keeping it. That is simply insane to me.

Hello all! This is my first year applying to the UFT Board. I have completed all tests, finished my F1C, filled out my DD215 and am ready to submit. However, I never received any emails detailing the program and received no info on how the submission process actually goes. Could someone send me the emails they received detailing the process and/or explain what my next steps are? My email is jacob.holt.4@us.af.mil Also, is there a TIS minimum for this application? I''m only at 6 months TIS at the moment.

I hope the maintainer hangs that LOR proudly on his wall. And to the guy who wrote it, you’re a douche.

I don’t think price control is the right answer, but I do think erasing the PBA position and reining in big pharma playing games with pricing (which seem illegal to me, but nobody challenges it, I don’t get it). Ultimately the best thing for people is to stop buying big pharma’s bullshit, literally and figuratively. They’re an evil industry with zero give-a-shit for anything beyond huge profits, people are generally better off without them and their products.

Buttox? If you're going to reprimand someone in writing, at least use spell check.

I watched as I am in the market form a small carbine and it looks like it comes up short. As he mentions there are numerous MP-5 knockoff coming so I will likely wait.
