I saw someone in the comments saying you don't need a license for those. I don't know if that's true, but it sure would explain things.

It's strange, isn't it? I was really into pop music as a kid, but I can't get into most of it now. I still hear a lot of new music that I like on KEXP's daytime shows, though.

Maybe? I'm not sure how many of the kids who were out early in the contest would've wanted their own dictionary (as opposed to using the family dictionary). I sucked at sports. Giving me a basketball for losing a free throw contest would've been a waste of a basketball.

I'm in Washington. When I tried to make an appointment online at Walgreens, it said I'd need a prescription. Then I did some googling and found an article with a list of states requiring it. I don't think I'll have trouble getting the prescription, but I need to bug my electeds about fixing that.

The article points out so many issues, but this was the first thing I got to that made me see red: "...bringing in tenants who could never pay a higher rent could lock them into a longer-term financial problem." The mentality that the line in the chart always has to go up is MBA brain shit.

Pharmacists are licensed, and insurers are regulated, by the states. Blue states need to defy the FDA (and likely the CDC) and require pharmacists to administer COVID vaccines to all who want it, and require insurers to cover the costs. Alternatively, free public vaccination clinics.

She's rightfully pissed off, but for God's sake, do the bare minimum and collect your paycheck—and possibly severance if you don't find another job right away. Don't tell your boss you're "ready to burn down every bridge on [your] way out."
