    Like I said last time you rooted that out: What's its cost to market?

    Until you can show that you've got no idea what the price should be.

    Not quite, it is safe to assume the drug is hugely overpriced. That drug has been around sixty odd years, it's not new. The papers mention that is used in AIDS cases but that's just the press doing their sensationalist thing. It has been used for other people with reduced immunity such as infants and people on chemotherapy for a long time.

    Just a few years ago the drug cost US$1.00 per pill but the price has risen as the company that produces it has been bought and sold several times. The only explanation I've seen for the increases was that each successive new owner has upped the price. The latest effort by far the largest at $5000%.

    Shkreli is a greedy little prick, this is not the first time he has done something similar. He is reportedly involved in a criminal investigation as well as multiple civil actions.

    The cost to market the pills is almost irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. If you want to know more just Google "5000%"

    Failing to pay tax is Illegal, Using Legal means to pay less tax is Legal.

    The same legal means that are open to you and I - if you are really upset about it, by all means talk to an accountant at ways to reduce the amount of tax you pay.

    If the problem is those legal means shouldn't exist (and there are decent arguments to be made that they shouldn't) then petition your local MPs to get the Tax loopholes closed.

    but complaining about someone doing something that is perfectly legal by simply saying 'well they shouldn't do it' is silly - as a suggestion - if enough people exploited the loopholes and the Government was really hurting for cash - then maybe there would be more of an incentive to do something about them.

    Shkreli is a grabbing bastard. Lowest form of exploitationist arse going. take something people need and will really struggle without, and increase the price by that much? What other reason is there?

    He claims investigation into new and replacement therapies. This is probably something he has decided is necessary as the medical and pharmaceutical industries aren't aware of any demand for a replacement. Of course, that assumes he is telling the truth...


    Back on the TPPA - it seems we have gone from a position where Glorious leader told us this was the best thing since sliced bread, and a must have for NZ's future. That has gradually degraded past "we'll get the best deal for NZ" (not the same thing at all) to the point where NZ will now be in the best possible position post-agreement. One more step - the "this might be good for us eventually" statement - is all that's left.

    It increasingly seems a very short shitty stick with two shitty ends.

    Again - if there is a way to do it that is legal - then its all okay. If you have a problem with people using the laws to benefit themselves, then change the law.
