Regulate them to reduce what, loaning out money? Paying interest? The system described above only mentions those two bank functions. What would you be regulating them to make them do, essentially?

So what kind of system would you replace it with? And who would you go to to get financing for a new business?

It felt like a lot longer than you might think to process. I did not have to dive or panic- just got underneath, grabbed a desk leg, and then the rocking started. It went on for maybe 13 seconds, and when it stopped I stood back up and went back to work.
A solid 5/7.

I got the alert with enough time to get under my desk at work. The epicenter was somewhere near San Jose, and I was in SF. So YMMV, but for me, given the height and location of my building, it really did feel a lot better to he under something for the quake. Idk if it was a full ten second warning, but it was enough.

Reply to comment by KamikazeArchon in eli5: How does GoodRX (or any prescription savings group) work? by fourtwenny2389
I work for a doctor's office and we do have a significant patient population that benefits from GoodRx coupons.
I use the provider page to search their drugs and send the coupons via print to PDF and email them. It seems to be working just fine, though I am sure the data coming from my IP address must make me look like a pill fiend.
