- How many movies/shows would even remain if you removed the “pinned girl hits mounted attacker with unnoticed sharp/heavy object” scene … ?
- Costco, reupped on chicken and almonds.
- Average salary for a pharmacist is ~125k in our area.
- Education.
- You can’t declare bankruptcy on student loans.
- College is 2.5x more expensive than it was a few decades ago. Most of the bloat is due to administration.
- Now, in 2019, more information can be found online than in universities. In many cases, the quality is better as well. Individuals can give themselves the capabilities which merit a degree, but there’s no accreditation mechanism yet. A business that found a way to do this (likely a well-designed sequence of tests) would uproot all of academia (for the better!). Loans, inflation, tribalism, administration, federal funding – so many improvements.
- If you have a memory that’s a couple years old, and you still have an emotional reaction to it, you need to address it! What was the cause? What could you have done better? How can you improve yourself to improve that outcome next time? This introspection is huge. If you’re plagued by your past, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol, because it’s an alarm to a vulnerability. Cortisol makes you age! Once you isolate the cause and understand how to better act next time, your body literally becomes healthier.
- Notes from pharmarket meeting yesterday:
- Info:
- We’ll have an account soon to compare.
- Certain drugs have way better ROI. Go after those vendors first.
- Hold the money for a month until vendor billing cycle, then collect X percentage from vendor. Show original prices on our site.
- Offer service to feed prices, for the vendors without a frontend. They can update a google sheet or something and we can fetch it. This is a huge benefit for smaller vendors who want their stuff in the marketplace.
- Universal app wasn’t as complicated as we had thought, just basically need a license.
- Meds have way more regulation, that’s why amazon integration is hard.
- Ezrirx and amazon are both in this market, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a stab.
- Medline is another company that sells (non-rx) supplies.
- There is so much value in aggregating the search locations alone. Instead of buying 6 supplies from 4 separate sites, do it all in the same place.

- 3 companies account for more than 90% of the drug distribution market: AmerisourceBergen (ABC), Cardinal Health (CAH), and McKesson (MCK). These are the “Big Three Wholesalers” and each has a revenue of well over 100B alone (together almost half a trillion).
- Amazon’s revenue in 2018 for comparison: 230b.
- The next few large wholesalers: CuraScript, Morris & Dickson, Smith, FFF, Rochester, North Caroline Mutual, Anda.
- Action items:
- Finish the MVP website.
- Get domain name and host.
- Populate with fake data from multiple vendors. You might be able to get some public data for generics. Some sites even list their rx (like https://auromedics.com/products/ampicillin-and-sulbactam/, for example).
- Write template API that we’ll encourage vendors to use.
- Add basic user login which protects the price comp tool endpoint.
- Add basic landing page which shows the benefits for (a) pharmacies and (b) vendors (separate tabs?).
- Go speak with vendors. Get them onboard and get their data. Then go speak with pharmacies. Get them to use it. Then repeat and grow.
- Parlays. They’re simply a compound bet. Instead of betting for a single team to win (or a single line, or whatever), you’re betting for multiple. As long as none of them lose, you win. Because of the compound probability of failure, the payouts are usually very high
- James lost on jeopardy! He was 60k from beating Ken’s alltime record, and his average was 80k per night, so tonight should have been the night he became the GOAT. The opponent got both daily doubles, which was an inevitable misfortune eventually, but I still find it so strange that everything happened to fall into place tonight. After 32 victories, his streak ends on literally the night it should have become the record. Hm.
