It’s been a year since I stopped using Cigna’s insurance. They still sent me an email about that health assessment yesterday.

If you look at satellite photos of the Katy PD facility that seems likely. (I deleted my original snark for that reason.)

It’s become so miserable to deal with Walgreen’s that I’ve searched the web to see if they’d been acquired by private equity multiple times in the past couple of years.

When you differentiate yourself from Walmart by your politics for years - and then immediately roll over and abandon those politics, what do think your customers will do?
I’m spending additional time and money to avoid enriching Target and I don’t see an off-ramp. They earned this.
