This movie is going down as one of the most underrated. Rian Johnson hurt it tremendously. As soon as I heard a non-Abrams was directing VIII I predicted volatility and fail.
The SJWs who made the movie haven't forgotten about ordinary people, and they held back on their deviance to keep their jobs / profits. And their strategic advances in the film were misfires. When L3-37 starts attacking men/white people indiscriminately (e.g. 'get out of my chair you pretentious... [bloviating, etc]'), I felt like, "Oh wow, I don't think I realized how bad the progressives are".
Hollywood celebrates the growing number of homosexuals in their movies, but often they're represented in ways that are awful to the point where it is hard to see any qualities in their characters at all. There are exceptions of course... homosexuals are depicted as having longer/happier marriages when statistics collides spectacularly into that. In this movie you don't see positive depictions of these SJW characters.
Lando's peculiar label of the month just surfaces as a bunch of buffoonery, like a Frank Oz muppet or something. My inclination watching him was not, "Oh yeah, he's living the good life...".
Overall the movie contrasts the glorious ideas of the Enlightenment with the shortcomings of actuality and life. There's a lot of reminders about how often success hinges more on absurdity and will than anything else, and how a single hair-brained guy can accomplish more than all the communified misfits of the universe. These themes are much less clear in the prequel trilogy that debases itself into preaching about the Iraq war while shaming/triumphing about perfecting society.
I'm confused. Earlier you said, "Ban or severely limit profit off of it at all levels from clinic to manufacturer". So "all levels" there.
Then you said, "Just from the development process" in your second post.
I'm not sure anyone is currently making money during the development process of drugs. Are the employees spending money on the drugs they are researching and designing? If you could identify a business model there, the world would beat a path to your door I think.
The problem is poor organizations without capital/funding/profits get easily snatched up when money starts getting waved around in the faces.
Not that FOSS or low profit companies like this accomplish much in most cases. They don't.
If GitHub was turning a profit it would have been insulated from this.
This was exactly Disney's strategy in the early 2000's when they were afraid of getting bought out by a network. I'm sure there's a lot of the basement marxists on here that decry the hundred $s or whatever it costs to get into Disney, but they never got bought out and in fact ended up buying a major US network (ABC) among other high-grossing IPs.
Something like 80% of 2016 voters were motivated by government corruption... so it probably had some affect on the DNC, although Hillary Clinton's culpability in this was probably limited compared to other players.
We can't let people know the economy is taking off since we don't have our guy in the White House right now.
Move along ! Move along ! Please don't look at this !
Van Jones told us there's more important things than a good economy. Don't pay attention to that !
We need to focus on the real problems like how people are making evil amounts of money and how that just hurts everyone. And animals. And how we're not being mindful enough about ethnicity and culture and esthetics.

OK. I guess that is more or less coherent, although I disagree. I probably could have inferred what you meant if I had chewed on it a bit more.
Thanks for clarifying.
Eating something gross is no different than eating something gross.
OK, you got me.
Only outside the US and on slashdot do people talk about "delicacies" like they are good things.
... often true for status symbols in general.
Give me a cheapo cheeseburger over an expensive plate of fish eyes any day.
Just about always true for delicacies
I bet those ranchers are thinking, "Ah ! I HATE getting paid $1000 per stake!!"
Friendly reminder: the top .1% does not include people like Hugo Chavez who died with $2 billion in his pocket.
Those guys are cool, cool communists and are therefore exempt from our crooked little rules.
I think what he meant to say is dolphins are birds.

Did they toss it all?
When the K'ira gets asked what kind of fighting she was doing she mentioned it was Teras Kasi.
Lol !!

Isn't this the business model everything in Venezuela runs off (and everyone is starving)?
There's a reason there's no pharmeceutical innovation happens in Europe.
If you don't want to work for free, I'm not sure why you should dictate to others that they should work for free.
Given that I can't control the population, I'd rather have a small government than a hostile government.

So that's where the unrefined coaxium goes !
By "they" you mean tax payers?
It spends unethical volumes of tax payer dollars without anything in return. That's about as unethical as it gets.
Or perhaps you are suggesting we have a responsibility to let invaders waltz into our country so they can be greeted with wine and caviar.

If federal revenues are INCREASING how does that endanger government funding?
How does INCREASING revenue possibly drive the nation deeper into debt?
You claim sounds too incoherent for me to understand.
In Soviet Russia the trains always ran on time ... but was it worth having lots of innocent people sent to the gulags?
A long lifespan doesn't indicate a good life !!
The FDA is a massively expensive formality, an obstacle of saving lives with allegations of corruption all over the place.
If the FDA told me to eat undercooked meat would I do it. No way !
Did the FDA write The Jungle expose that uncovered the unsanitary practices of food handling? No, it was a private citizen, Upton Sinclair.
How many medical/pharmeceutical breakthroughs happen in over regulated Europe? None.
Does it do anything? Maybe, but better off without it.
Now that we "know" something must be done ... who should pay for it?
... I hate it when the government says awful, one-sided nonsense like that to me.
... that means you and I are paying for it in our taxes.
Is the government saying, "Something must be done, Amazon! And you shall pay for it without any monetary incentive!"
Boo
What about when the government says, "We shall pay for this thing to be done!"
Well
How about we just let the people who mistakenly think their products were FCC approved "pay" for this "who cares" fabrication?
What message does that send to potential future hires who are the brightest and the best?
...
"Come work for us! We'll pay you more than we can afford and then let you go!"
Pass
I wouldn't expect evolution to be a good predictor of happiness ... although I have noticed a lot of people with kids are happy or seem to be.
Health insurance companies have a 6% profit margin.
Imagine being able to keep 6% of your own money and do your own pooling !!
This is a small factor. Hard to get contract work past 50.
Companies don't pay contractors health insurance.
