I have fantastic insurance through my wife who has a job with NYC. It’s a game changer. You stop worrying about the cost and start taking care of yourself. I’d lose this coverage if Medicare for All rolled out and, even then, I’d be ok with that because it’s better for the country.

The brand took a hit but most of those morons shifted to Modelo and…well guess who owns Modelo? lol

From the article:

In May, on Costco’s earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip told investors that about a third of Costco’s sales in the U.S. are imported products. Millerchip said items imported from China represented about 8% of total U.S. sales.

Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices “because they are key staple items” for its customers.

Some of those fresh food items included pineapples and bananas. “We essentially held the price on those to make sure that we’re protecting the member,” he said.

In September, Millerchip told analysts: “We continue to work closely with our suppliers to find ways to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including moving the country of production where it makes sense and consolidating our buying efforts globally to lower the cost of goods across all our markets.”

I’m on a 3 year cycle with the iPhone, now. Last one I held on to for 3 years and the 15 Plus I have now is going to be in use until, at least, the iPhone 18.

I don’t really give a shit about the impact on the economy.
