Walgreen's December 5, 2009

December 5, 2009

They continued work on the new Walgreen’s that’s coming in at the corner of Brunswick Road and Sutton Way. They paved the parking lot yesterday, just in time. Snow and rain is suppose to be here this coming week, at least that’s the latest forecast, which changes according to how the weatherman feels. If he’s depressed, a storm is coming in, if he’s happy, it’ll be sunshine.

How much money is in drugs anyway? We seem to have eight or ten pharmacies right now. With CVS, Rite Rite Aide and now Walgreens, I think there is a lot of money in drugs. Legal ones that is. Why is it that in any other industrial country, you can get the same prescription you buy in the United States so much cheaper?   The argument is the drug companies spend so much money in research that we have to pay for their research. How come the rest of the world doesn’t? It seems the only business that is growing right now are drug companies and drug stores. Anyhow, that’s my rant of the day.

Enjoy the holidays.
