Stupid World

So... that'll be before the great 2014 market crash, right?

Oh how droll. To all intents and purposes it crashed... yet at the 11th hour it was bailed out to prevent collapse. Sound familiar? Coz it should if you were bothering to pay att... ooo squirrel.

We’re in Business of Shareholder Profit, Not Helping the Sick

The pharmaceutical companies trot out the old saw that they need to make big profits to finance research. Many drug companies are bought by investment entities with no intention of doing any research. Their sole aim is to maximise profits, eg Shkrelli and more recent the Epi pen saga.

There are reportedly 1400 pharma lobbyists in Washington DC and an estimated trillion dollars has been spent buying poilticians of both parties. Not much chance of reform of the drug market there.

All businesses are there to profit the shareholder(s).

Which might stand some chance of sticking, except for the fact that they spend far more on advertising than they do on research.

Maybe we start linking the value , and maybe the duration of patents available to any given manufacturer with availability of their subsequent product.

We should also make them non-transferable, to prevent further trade in what's essentially a govt protection mechanism and provides zero further return for the higher price.

With the sheer quantity of perfect market crash predictions you and the rest of the Chicken Little brigade around here have come up with you must all be fucking rolling in it.

Or full of shit.

One or t'other.

Cunts could pay for their own shit and not expect someone else to do it.
.

you should vote for it.

[Ocean1]

you should vote for it.

Most honest workers do exactly that, every chance they get, opportunities to reduce the parasitic drag of cunts like you shouldn't be wasted.

Most parasites, on the other hand, can't be fucked rolling out of bed to vote, and then make like all later-day-hippy an' stick it to the man an' don't vote. Which tactic fuckwits have never bothered to observe has never worked for any past generation of fuckwits, either as a valid argument or cover for not being fucked rolling out of bed.

youll give yourself a hernia carrying on like that.
so youve voted, done everything you can, its out of your hands. its with brighter minds than you, so relaaaaaax man.

or, y'know, you could whine about shit on the internet.
that's been known to cure all kinds of shit. like this one time, my little cousin timmy, had a sprained ankle, and he posted it on farsebook, and got a million likes, and the next day he got HIV and wasn't worried about his ankle any more.
small miracles.

Gotta pay for them lobbyists somehow.

I know. Stupidity tends to cause such trends.

I'm not surprised that you leave only 2 options as per usual dear myopic head up yer erse man. It shows just how stupid you truly are.

So making a profit is stupid is it?

[Katman]

So making a profit is stupid is it?

It certainly is when it becomes more important than peoples well-being.

[mashman]

So making a profit is stupid is it?

Not the stupidity I was referring to, no... but that's certainly still pretty stupid.
