Because I have a hard time taking what he said seriously, yet he said  it and said he is a Clinton supporter....

On the surface, the convention is going great. Michelle Obama made a speech for the ages....The media is eating it like cake. All good, right?

I watched singer Alicia Keys perform her song Superwoman at the convention and experienced a sinking feeling. I’m fairly certain my testosterone levels dropped as I watched, and that’s not even a little bit of an exaggeration. Science says men’s testosterone levels rise when they experience victory, and drop when they experience the opposite. I watched Keys tell the world that women are the answer to our problems. True or not, men were probably not feeling successful and victorious during her act.

Let me say this again, so you know I’m not kidding. Based on what I know about the human body, and the way our thoughts regulate our hormones, the Democratic National Convention is probably lowering testosterone levels all over the country. Literally, not figuratively. And since testosterone is a feel-good chemical for men, I think the Democratic convention is making men feel less happy. They might not know why they feel less happy, but they will start to associate the low feeling with whatever they are looking at when it happens, i.e. Clinton.

On the 2D playing field – where policies and facts matter – the Democratic National Convention is doing great. And when it comes to exciting women, it might be the best ever. But on an emotional level – where hormones rule – men have left the building…that they built.

For the record, I endorse Hillary Clinton for president, for my personal safety, because I live in California where it is dangerous for people to think you are a Trump supporter. My political views don’t align with either candidate and I don’t vote, in order to protect my objectivity.

Wonder if he will need a benzodiazepine or Dramamine to jump into the net without a parachute or wing suit?

While checking my email I obtained an ad for what've thought was a pharmacist job. Then I discover the mom is the employer and she Is a pharmacist. I sometimes wish these job postings would filter by title and not by description.

Will machines or new technology put us out of work? Drug topics had a piece about automation. Is it friend or foe? This question has been around for a while.

I also saw an article about Whole Foods increasing with check out areas instead of people, which customers did not like. The justification was to be profitable since having people being paid $15 was making it hard to be profitable.

The term Luddite is derisive for a man whose followers tried to stop English technology. (In the long run they failed, but from 1805 to 1815 or 1816 they had some success) To an extent it depends on how accepted the technology is and if one can use it or not.

"The woman of the port," has a cameo of a gracious pharmacist and his wife. He gives a rx costing 2.50 (local currency) to a lady. His wife points out after the fact that he is giving away rxs and they will be broke. He says the rich will pay enough for it to keep them open.
