because they have so much in common.

"Redneck"? Liberals do exist in red states too, just not in greater numbers than right wingers. My friend John from Oklahoma is a "redneck" who is a liberal both socially and economically and not one bigoted bone in his body. Some of those Trump supporters can be and are from trust fund families like he came from himself. 

I think on average worldwide, xenophobia is geographical, the more open and urban or suburban a place is the more diverse. But the more closed a society is or homogeneous it is, the more fear of outsiders their is. The more rural and homogeneous the more xenopobia on average.

But liberal "Rednecks" exist too. Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton as far as I know socially are liberals. My mom raised me in Northern Va outside of DC, she still has a history of voting republican and she raised me in a very diverse society growing up. My street was less diverse, but Fairfax County and Alexandria are right next to DC which has been an international magnet.

The south has been solid republican since the Civil Rights Act was signed.  About the only thing that stops the deep south from being Bangladesh is federal spending.  But these people continually vote against their own economic interests.

You know, they don't ALL have to be redneck assholes.... just a majority of the voters.

There are so  many vile slick tactics the GOP uses to do that.

If you don't mention party labels in a conversation, most people agree on wallet issues as far as cost of living. Social issues are how they keep pulling that scam. My own mom agrees with me on just about everything, but then when I ask her "Then why do you keep voting republican", she shuts down and says "I don't want to talk about it".  John can say the same thing about his own family and co workers where he lives too.

They are the masters of the "wedge issue."  Flag-burning.  Boys kissing.  The Equal Rights Amendment.  The confederate flag.  etc.

But as Drumpf is showing now, what is really at the heart of it, is racism.

But worse, bigotry piled on with demagoguery WW2 German style. What is laughable now is his sudden "we care" about minorities. So after a year of all that hateful bullshit, now he sees fit to care? NO, someone finally through cold water in his face and said "YOU'RE BLOWING IT".  What the GOP wanted was for him to be edgy enough but still mask the bigotry in code like they were before he ran.

The medicine it self still costs next to nothing, pair that with a cheap syringe and you have a solution that cost less than a 1/3 of what the epi pen cost before the price increase.

The media and spoiled or stupid parents are the only ones who feel entitled to the convince the epi-pen provides. I say F-u to those too proud to learn how to use a syringe. the creator of the pen should be allow to sell it at any price, so long as the base drug is still accessible and affordable.

As someone who was once married to a diabetic, I do think everyone should learn how to give an injection.

That being said, not everyone does, or would even know the correct dose to load up into a regular syringe.

If you have a life threatening allergy, and you keep you medicine and needle with you at all times, then you pass out from said allergy and the only person around happens to be the 17 year old next door neighbor, or some elderly lady passing by with her dog ( and if they do nothing but call an ambulance, you will die before they can reach you), do you want them to have to attempt to correctly load the syringe and accurately inject you?  Or just have a device you stab into a thigh and it does it correctly for you?

This device saves lives AS MUCH AS THE DRUG ITSELF.  That is why it is such a big deal.

And fu too, you selfish little man.

:Roflol:

And what if said 17year old or elderly lady does know how to dial in the correct dose in your epi pen? They like you (if the guy does not have his pen/syringe marked) calls 911 and they step you the caller through the process of administering the shot. The ONLY difference is dialing a dose rather than extracting with a plunger.

The devise only saves lives because it is used. If this device were not available do you really think everyone needing an injection would die?

Again Proud, greedy entitled douche bags demand that they be allowed to remain ignorant, and have cheap access to epi pens. Rather than allow simple capitalism at a little time to adjust the price on it's own.

If a proud parent allows his kid to die because they are too proud/stupid to learn how to use a syringe then they need to get the chair.

If the cost is that expensive, my insurance company might decide that they are no longer going to pay for it. So if that happens, my life just became worthless to my insurance company simply because the drug company is too greedy to lower the cost to something reasonable.

It is a sad day when one's own life is threatened by the greed of a pharmaceutical company's desire to keep their bottom line full.

I wish I didn't have to depend on an Epi Pen, but my allergies don't give me any other option.

Same here.

See Aroura's response, you vile, awful...

On top of it, because of the growing cost of Epi Pens, I was going to Mexico to obtain epinephrine and syringes. When I came to Florida, TSA wouldn't let my epinephrine on the plane. What do you suggest one do in a situation such as that? And do you suggest I trust some stranger to administer a syringe full of the correct amount of epinephrine? When my throat is closing up and I'm panicking because of it, how do you suppose I'll administer my own?

What is wrong with you??

I'm sure at first their will be a thinning of the heard, but Know that your 'loss' will be for the greater good. That by your death/example you will be made into a PSA for people flying with special needs to get special dispensation or a special allowance for your condition before you fly.. OR if your allowance happens to be on the bann substance list then your PSA could be a reminder to make 'other' arrangements... The public should not be put in danger because of your handicap.

After all if the drug itself is bann then it does not matter how you administer it you should not be allowed on the plan no matter how you plan to administer it.

Remember a wise person one said the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the 1.

Fuck you. First off who gives a fuck, I don't care if it is the drug itself or the delivery device itself. There are drugs that are marked up in any case, and medical devices are marked up too. A fucking toothbrush in a hospital which would cost $1 at a dollar store gets marked up to 5 to 10 bucks. It is still bullshit overpricing for nothing but greed.

So... You think no one should make money ever, and only sell what it costs to generate?

I think they are doing that in venezuela why don't you go down there and see how that plan is working out.
