>Chris Hedges

Sure is leftypol in here.

when you stop being such a fucking commie

>No expensive quality control testing
>No auditing to strict regulatory requirements
>No expensive Liability Insurance
>No salary or overhead expenses
>No profit needed for shareholders
>No marketing or distribution costs

Makes you wonder huh.

>implying he's not right
planned obsolescence is a part of almost every business strategy

All drugs face those costs, most don't cost $110,000 for 3.7 grams.

As always, creative left wing millenials BTFOing the fat, capitalist right wingers who control everything.

>gooks bake a cake

the high schoolers were australian

that isn't true, but I know its comforting to disbelieve that consumers to pay for R&D decades after the drug has been established.

They didn't develop the drug for $20; they made a carbon-copy of a drug after decades of R&D for a company who helps pay for the drug by footing the bill to the consumer.

Why this is difficult to understand and/or judged as a moral imperative is beyond me

>doctors destroy health
you mean insurance companies destroy health

>religion destroys morals
im sorry, what?

Its called a patent.

>the free market in action
>c-capitalists btfo
It's a shame that government enforced regulation will make it impossible for them to actually sell the drug manufactured in that way. I guess the answer is that we need more government.

it's called a problem. the same drup costs .08 cents in India. Yes R&D costs money, but considering that we all benefit as a society from this research and development I don't see why we shouldn't subsidize it or create public institutions for that purpose.

I see no reason why we shouldn't blame both the state and the corporations. they've been working together to make this possible, after all.

>religion destroys morals
There is this religion by the name of Islam

I figure he was talking about pedo scandals

some doctors make money off of false information and stuff

Psychiatrists in particular make money off of handing out ADD meds to anyone who asks really

>government destroys freedom
>press destroys information
>universities destroy knowledge
Only ones that are correct

Oh and banks ruining the economy

They recreated one active ingredient

>anti-leftypol rheotic
sure is fake news peddler in here

Nvidia and intell are great at it

Lmao thats rich, I bet you call yourself a devote christian yet eat pork, become a drunkard on the weekend, and have sex before marriage.

The reason muslims are "taking over" is because Christcucks have either become degenerates themselves or are too much of a cuck to do anything

>it's ok when da ""private sphere"" does it!
kill yourself

>it's called a problem. the same drup costs .08 cents in India. Yes R&D costs money, but considering that we all benefit as a society from this research and development I don't see why we shouldn't subsidize it or create public institutions for that purpose.
Yeah, I agree, it should be taxpayers funding the R&D instead of the consumer.
This way, I'll get all those sweet drugs invented by american companies for free.

I sure love socialism!

It costs 50p per pill, except the first pill costs £18million to get to market.

So either we fuck over the very first person who needs the pill, or we distribute the cost of getting a drug to market to everyone.

>recreate
and that is legally all they can do, good luck getting brutally raped by pharma lawyers

kill them. itso simple.

> governments destroy freedom
This one isn't a contradiction.

High schoolers btfo

private companies can use R&D costs as an excuse to kick up prices regardless. having it be a public expenditure would lower the costs for everyone.

Why do you have gay porn saved to your computer, user?

okay, so how does it work?
american pay the price of R&D, and I (french) get the drug for free? Or I don't get the drug at all?
Why should american taxpayers pay for me, and why should I pay for american taxpayers? What about country that will simply refuse to play this game and leech from the taxpayer funded R&D of other countries?
Your plan is shit, admit it and move on.

Just for fun haha

>want life saving drug
>doesn't want to pay life saving amounts of money
So you care more about saving money then your own life? Welcome to capitalism, where rich jews jew poor jews who try to jew rich jews.

>$20
they didn't research it, this costs money, they just did the easy part of following the receipe

why would you get it for free? you'd have to buy it from us.

Not to mention, America already does this for a number of goods, especially military ones. We might as well do it for something actually beneficial for humanity while we're at it.

why dont the people who need the drug just make it themselves if its that easy

it involves extremely hazardous chemicals

doesn't change the fact that the drug is sold for about 1 to 2 dollars per dose in every other country besides the US

M8, that's absolutely a scene from a gay porno.
Always nice to have fun.

I can draw wolverine although marvel sold for billions of dollars to disney!?!?

>not understanding intellectual property
>kungpaonigger tier

>M8, that's absolutely a scene from a gay porno.
if ya say so m8 I just pulled it off of google images

Okay, m8. You """got""" it from Google and had no idea what it was. Okay.

>but considering that we all benefit as a society from this research and development I don't see why we shouldn't subsidize it or create public institutions for that purpose.
we already do this, the simple fact is that because laws prevent companies from charging so much in shitty Europe and other 3rd world tier countries that pharma companies make up all their expenses by ripping off the U.S. market
Meanwhile shit Euro's and Indian's enjoy the fruits of what U.S. consumers and gov pay to be developed

>he supports government sanctioned monopolies
pls end your life

Disregard that, I suck cocks.

I googled bootlicker five minutes ago so you could take a look in the mirror

R2D2 is just a trash can that boops and yet George Lucas sold the rights to star wars for billions!

A booping trash can!

>What about country that will simply refuse to play this game and leech from the taxpayer funded R&D of other countries?
that's already what the entire Eurozone and most every other nation does off of U.S. paid for and researched drugs

>why do we let them get away with this bullshit?

I don't know man, isn't it already illegal for some random student to make drugs?

I can print out the entire harry potter serious on my printer at home for like $1 in paper and toner and yet the author got millions of dollars just for writing it?!??

Literally what the fuck!

then this is exactly why we shouldn't let the pharmaceutical companies get away massive profits, we're funding the research to begin with

Yeah, you like bootlickers. You like shoving men to the floor forcing them to suck your boots.

You know what else is a government sanctioned monopoly? My monopoly on being the only person that can legally go into my house without asking. I also have a legal monopoly on being able to legally homicide anyone else that comes in unannounced and uninvited.

Fuck off to mogadishu lolbertarians

Hopefully they start a pharmaceutical company senpai, it would seem like they pharma jews got competition

or the other countries should pay their fair share but they won't. So it's either new drug development stagnates or things stay the same or even better we simply cut off the faggot Euro's and every other nation

Well of course it's cheaper to simply make a carbon copy of something that someone else has spent years researching.

The cost of any product, especially in pharmaceuticals, isn't just 'the cost to make it'.

In pharmaceuticals it's the cost of years of research, years of government red-tape procedures, and the eventual mass producing and marketing of the pill, as well as the deals and meetings between the maker and the provider (hospital, OTC shops, etc).

Are they an egregious amount of money? To the average person yes. Does it suck for some? Yes it does. Should the government force a price down that someone made because some can't afford it? That seems a little too much.

>.08 cents in india
>what is price discrimination

if you TRULY want a best of both worlds situation you lower how long copyrights can last on medical products in the states. If a company doesn't have a cash incentive to pay or R&D by having a short term monopoly on the product they more than likely won't make it. Closing the window on copyright may raise prices on new drugs in short term but generics are likely to hit the market in much shorter time.

copyright for art=patents on life saving medicine
you can't make a knock-off of a drug the way you can rip-off the hunger games without plagiarizing it.

I bet they made only a coupleasure of micrograms in a lab, very different from scaling up to full production.

~Chemical Engineering user.

If the faggots with AIDS don't want to die they can literally make their medicine for twenty dollars, said so in the article. Guess we don't need to feel sorry for them anymore.

>price discrimination
Yeah, it's worth a whole $1 in Australia.


they made almost 4 grams

Nothing wrong with this. This is what happens when you have a free market. Price gouging and expensive garbage gets outperformed by a few ambitious high schoolers

Except they're austrialian, in the US patent laws would prevent them from selling it

>the same drug costs .08 c in India

Are you sure those aren't made by a bunch of shit smeared hand Pajeets?

So you're just furthering the argument for freeing up the market by getting rid of Patent Law which is a Jewish invention. Thank you for agreeing

You want to make it on a scale of tons before going on about how much it sells for.

There's also a bunch of necessary control tests to make sure it's safe before even the FDA gets their money grabbing paws on it.

For example, optical isomers (can be really motherfucker deadly) and worse you can't separate them out after creation you have to factor it into the method of creation.

Because that is the drug that used to cost $13 until Martin raised the price 5000% retard.

You obviously do not understand how a free market works.

> what are insurance companies

>Shkreli is a greedy evil spoiled brat that wants to get rich from the suffering of others
>But he is not jewish so Sup Forums loves him

Makes you think doesnt it

Now let's see them try and mass produce it, acquire licensing, get it past FDA, and hire qualified workers.

>I don't see why we shouldn't subsidize it or create public institutions for that purpose.

Because the gov is incompetent.

they were Chinese. be honest. We know how good the Chinese are at making knock offs.
