  1. You think the insulin that you buy in France for 1/4 that it costs in USA is made in USA? I'm sorry but your argument holds zero water.... at the least they should open the market for drugs that are out of patent.

  2. My point was that a certain amount of self-interest is moral for both individuals and corporations.

  3. Re:Greedy...and self-defeating on Citing 'Moral Requirement To Make Money', Pharma CEO Jacks Drug Price 400% (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's not stupid. Raising the price sends a warning to customers to source the drug from some other company with plenty of lead time and no near term catastrophic consequences. Sure you can send a letter but who do you send it to? And what if it gets ignored?

    There has been no studies showing that vaping is 'nearly as harmful' as smoking. Please cite your sources.

  5. Not really. If a company is not profitable they will go out of business and whatever they are making will be unavailable.

    There is a theoretical limit on energy densities for batteries and the closer we get to it the harder it will be to improve. That clearly appears to be the trend we are seeing.

    Does the concept of 'blowback' matter, ie that the USA might actually be responsible for some of the bad things that happen to it? Would Hillary have been a stronger candidate if she had not taken part in globalist 'nation-building' activities?

    Even in a worst case scenario Earth will always be more easily habital than Mars.

  14. You don't have to post things on facebook to be tracked by them.

  15. Just because I think their privacy abuses are much more important than a handful of Russian political ads doesn't mean I support Russian interference. Enjoy the political theater if you must.... good times ahead when your internet history is shared with insurance companies and potential employers.

  16. Oh yes russian interference is worst issue in the world because we support this vaguely anti-trump narrative... but let's not talk about how we shit on our user's privacy for profit because we are modest!
