Across the country, pharmacies big and small are closing. The closures have disproportionately affected rural and low-income communities, leaving residents with limited access to prescription drugs and creating so-called “pharmacy deserts.” We’ll discuss a New York Times investigation about the middlemen driving pharmacies out of business. Plus, should the American Dream be a townhouse? And, introducing the real “househusbands” of Wall Street.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Housing costs are rising everywhere — but especially in swing states” from The Washington Post
- “The new American Dream should be a townhouse” from The Washington Post
- “The Powerful Companies Driving Local Drugstores Out of Business” from The New York Times
- “The real reason Walgreens and other pharmacies are failing” from MSNBC
- “Behind Many Powerful Women on Wall Street: A Doting ‘Househusband’” from The Wall Street Journal
