I'm not familiar with them other than their signs. If I had to venture a guess, it would be that diabetes supplies prices are stupid marked up and some people get them subsidized through Medicare, etc. so aren't paying full price. They may have extra for what ever reason but no access to a secondary market so they sell an $20 item that they paid $2 for to an intermediary for $10 who then sells it for $15. Or something like that.

So everyone wins, except the tax payers, and who ever needs to navigate the circus act, and society at large. I'm not sure how Eli Lilly feels about it.

They’re great guys, for real.

They helped me with an alignment a couple times and even came on a 15 min ride with me to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating an issue. Their operation is really impressive and they’re nice enough to share tours of the shop.

I highly recommend them if you have a modified car, a JDM car, or are just into cars in general.

And yeah, they have some seriously awesome builds.

Museum space. Smithsonian has millions of things packed away in store rooms gathering dust. Get it out and show it off! Rotate exhibits every two years.

Far as I know, there's nothing as big as the National Air and Space museum for water. Lets have a genuine Maryland skipjack dock there for tours. Blue crab or oyster "farm" attached to the Aquarium, see their lifecycles live and inperson. Native plants and pollinators exhibit.

Take that leaky ass Convention center with it when it goes.

*Caveat : Had friends worked Otakon before the DC move. They had to play musical chairs with the Art show/auction stuff because of various substances dripping into the rooms. Been a few years since I spoke to them, don't remember if they said rain/sprinklers or other plumbing - considering the bathrooms were perpetually stopped up.
