You are assuming that the greedy Wall Street folks are actually contributing some of their smarts to improve the product of the industry in some way, and not just sneaking in and extracting value from the medical industry as Shkreli does.
- rayiner 11y agoI'm not saying that the Wall Street folks are improving the products of the drug industry. I'm saying that a lot of very bright folks go to Wall Street instead of into science because of the opportunity to make a lot more money. And they're not even really greedy people. We live in a country where even a PhD making $150k still has to stress about saving for college and faces potential bankruptcy from medical expenses. You don't have to be greedy to want to stave off that risk by getting a high-paying Wall Street job.
