I’d believe everything Walgreens said long before I’d believe anything the Department of “Justice” said.
“This lawsuit seeks to hold Walgreens accountable for the many years that it failed to meet its obligations when dispensing dangerous opioids and other drugs”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Dangerous drugs like mRna vaccines?
Something does not read right about this. I am not saying Walgreens did no wrong, but seriously they want us to believe Walgreens is the reason for the opioid crisis? Reads like a Deep State DOJ psyop
Sigh.
Just one more asinine order for Pam Bondi to overturn when she takes office.
Monday can’t come soon enough.
Clot shot?
opiods
Slightly off topic but Walgreen’s, like CVS, has a stupid business model. They both have huge stores, but 95+% of the people who go there only go to pick up medicine. They don’t even think about buying any of the overpriced other items that make up the rest of the store. CVS has been closing stores right and left. Expect Walgreen’s to be next.
Rats are upset Walgreens is closing stores in thieving democrat cities. Keeping stores with wanton ‘shrinkage’ is unsustainable.
They won’t stop until the only thing a Dr. Will give you for severe pain is advil. I hope I never get another kidney stone.
Is that really up to the pharmacist? The doctor writes the Rx.
Yes
States regulate doctors and prescriptions.
It is up to the state to regulate the doctors.
States can limit the amount of a drug sold in their state.
A state can outlaw the import of a drug into the state.
A state can require prior approval, just like insurance companies do.
This is just a money grab.
My oral surgeon recommended a combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen as I recollect.
Don’t have a wisdom tooth cut out and assume it won’t be painful afterward.
All the Rite Aids in Michigan closed.
Many CVS and now a lot of Walgreens’ are shutting down, too.
I want them to be open and convenient for me.
Not a government delivery scam with all online or whatever they have in mind to replace drug stores.
I know the overpriced health and beauty aids and the convenience store level food and beverage prices in the non-Rx part of the stores are being passed over by consumers. But I want real brick and mortar stores open. (As all know I am a Luddite.)
Two of my fascinating true stories:
Elderly Chinese woman’s long delayed diabetic supplies from the online supplier ended up somehow in my package bin at my apartment building. Apparently delayed for a couple of weeks and sent to another wrong address first._So I walked out and looked for her address one cold night and her maybe 19 yr.old niece hesitatingly came to the apartment building glass door after I held up a box.
She said she is going to college here and is now taking care of her aunt who lives with her, and the aunt has been crying because the online place insisted they already sent her supplies and they were marked “delivered” online and she couldn’t get more. Now I solved it by taking the package to her building.
2nd. Husband of my coworker also had a “delivered” online record but it was NOT delivered. His medication was vital but the doctor refused since he gave the Rx once for the online place and his computer said “delivered”, the online place would not duplicate it, and his old in person brick and mortar pharmacist said he could not just supply him any. At the last minute before running out
his doctor considered the effect of his patient ending up soon in the ER, he relented and was able to convince the appeals department of the online company to send the medication. Highly stressful.
I hate the internet age.
Yeah. That was my reaction too.
[[I hate the internet age.]]
It’s good in some ways, but yes, very bad in other ways- i think the bad may even outweigh the good

I remember CVS gobbling up pharmacies such as DC’s People’s Drug and opening big stores like crazy.
Unfortunately for the drug stores, insurance companies prefer mail prescriptions.
About five decades ago Dart Drug took advantage of special Sunday openings for drug stores. By 1990 the Sunday laws were changed and Dart Drug’s business model collapsed.
I don’t understand why Walgreens and CVS tend to locate across the street from each other.
Walmart’s with Pharmacies seem to be the only combo stores to have no problem making a profit everywhere.
