Speak with someone today by dialing 988 to connect with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
In this episode, we dive into Clint's journey with semaglutide, a drug that has transformed his life in several ways. Clint shares his personal experience with using semaglutide, detailing how he discovered the drug and the significant weight loss it enabled him to achieve — an impressive 70 pounds shed. Clint's journey began when he found himself struggling with health issues such as diabetes and faced challenges with weight management.
Despite the transformative effects of semaglutide, Clint encountered obstacles along the way including a suicide attempt. Moreover, Clint's experience underscores the importance of reporting adverse events through platforms like the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). His struggle with depression and skepticism from medical professionals about its link to the drug raises broader questions about patient advocacy and healthcare transparency.
Clint's story offers valuable insights into the complexities of managing health conditions, navigating treatment options, and advocating for oneself within the healthcare system.

FEEDBACK to robert@peachnews.co
I’m interested to see how your travels on JetBlue go. My bff’s brother has been Mosaic on them for years, and as you mentioned, the idea of upgrading to mint is new. Back around 2018 he was flying FLL SFO weekly and the only way to upgrade was to buy it. He claimed you couldn’t even use miles, at least back then. It was cash or nothing and since his company wouldn’t pay, and he didn’t want to pay out of his own pocket, he was never able to get it
Flight attendant is in TLV with a tour group on vacation. Trying to figure out how to get home. She didn’t bring her company ID so she can’t use non rev or jumpseat privileges. What airline employee would ever travel without their employee ID?

Benjamin: AA's Upgrade List can be long, especially at Hubs or on popular routes. I think the longest I've seen is 50 or so. I'm luckily, normally at the top or the top 3. It goes off of status level, then LP point accrual over the last rolling 12 months. I had a BUNCH of LP's last year, less this year. I'm sure I'll fall off soon. Lots of small businesses throwing ALL SPEND onto AA cards. I've met people with Millions of LP's.

We Three "Dixie Dems"
Bob Gatty from his Lean to the Left Podcast is based in South Carolina, moving there from Maryland a few years ago, and has since been involved in local Democratic politics – an uphill battle, if ever there was one.
Joining us on in this episode is Arthur Hill, from North Carolina. I guess you could call us the "Dixie Dems", except that two of the three of us are NOT native southerners.
Listener Supported https://www.peach.deals/sponsors
Arthur Hill is communications chair of the Brunswick County, North Carolina, Democratic party, who recently wrote a book on the history of St. James, his hometown since 2014. Before he moved to the Tarheel State, he was a public relations professional and freelance writer in Washington, DC. Back in the day, Arthur also worked on Capitol Hill.
So, while it’s crazy in South Carolina with a Republican Congressman having to defend his vote to impeach Donald Trump against several rightwing candidates, one of whom was endorsed by Trump, it’s even wackier in Georgia and North Carolina. At least SC doesn't have a Madison Cawthorn or a Marjorie Taylor Green! Now, with this apparent Roe v Wade decision that’s been reported, it’s probably going to get even worse.
The discussion unwraps the draft abortion ruling and the political implications, ranges into the argument over what can and cannot be taught in schools, Republican candidate misadventures, Trump's influence, and much more. There's lots of insight, but plenty of laughs along the way, as well.
As Hill says in the episode, "The Republicans sit on a hill with a flintlock rifle and say 'no,' but they have no new ideas." So that's just a sample of the tenor and tone of this conversation.
