It's good, then, that the non-profit pharmaceutical company called Civica Rx will manufacture the insulin under the brand CalRx.

California nonprofits are typically a special breed of corruption.
I feel like we’re trying very hard to dislike a good thing here
Have you lived in California?
Have you Googled Civica Rx?

> Headquarters: Lehi, UT

What does that have to do with living in California? And you know they have no track record yet right? They didn’t even exist until 2018!

The perennial issue is big promises, total shit delivery, way over budget and late - if ever. Regardless of where the subcontractor lives. They’ve already been talking about the insulin plan for several years.

But hey, maybe 2024 is the new promise.

Have you heard about our ‘high speed rail’ project, for instance? It isn’t even high speed anymore!

You didn't say living in California, you said "California non-profits". But sure, keep moving the goalposts if it makes you happy. Why are you even still living there?
Could you provide any information on that, rather than just vague remarks? Or more helpfully, information regarding CalRx specifically?

If you provided a link showing that some of its leadership had a history of corruption, that would be one thing, but instead we got an unsourced quip about "California nonprofits."

Good thing it's a Utah nonprofit, then.
Fucking got'em
Throwaway quip tripling down on vague aspersions about something good.

Sometimes things are good.
