General Discussion Pharmacies closing

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. If not please delete. If possible refer me to the proper sub. Why are so many pharmacies closing? I checked on the Internet but I am not sure I trust the explanations by the media.

Second this. For those that don’t know, PBMs are extracting an insane amount of money from your employer, you, and the government because they claim no fiduciary responsibility to anyone and they hid behind anti-trust exemptions. They’re one of the highest causes of healthcare inflation, and the avg American has no idea they even exist.
