How's that worked for Tiano and his giant scale/jets so far? Or any of the SIGS so far. Remind me which ones have broken off on their own over the past 80 years.

In general, competition has never concerned me, I'm all for it. It's good for consumers, and strengthens the marketplace, regardless of the widget being offered. We see what happens when one company holds a monopoly....the Epi pen situation of late highlights that reality.

If you recall I've asked and asked til I'm blue in the face where the alternative to the AMA is? I keep knocking on the door to the secret invite society Plan Jim has talked about..I've huffed and puffed but he won't let me in! I wonder, will they have shirts, pins, and decoder rings? Hmm...

I'm waiting for the fabulous 14 signatories to that epic open letter to the AMA to get something together other, alas it doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon. Just more talk, no action.
