How did governments create pharmaceutical monopolies? And, if they did, why does that make the companies killing people by charging exorbitant amounts for drugs free of guilt?

Maybe my understanding is wrong, you’re telling me researchers keep the rights to patents they develop under the employment of pharmaceutical companies, and profit off of licensing? If that’s the case I was wrong. But as for your other poin

This comment thread is about gun violence

You’re saying this ironically but yes, I would. If there was an accepted living standard and every job paid according to that that would be amazing.

There’s no reason pharma research should be for profit. The researchers aren’t doing it for profit, they would do it either way, the only thing private pharma brings to the table is price gouging.

We both know it’s none of those things, it’s access to guns

Because it’s a stupid law that was thought of 200 years ago when there were actual reasons to have guns, whereas today you’d be safer without one

In what world is “laid off” better than “fired”? Either way the company screwed you, doesn’t matter how they justify it

I'm not the parent commenter, but no you can't bribe people in Taiwan or Japan. If I told you the only way to deal with the Canadian government is bribes, would you believe me? Then why do you believe it when talking about equally

I'm guessing you never eat at any restaurants either since calculating a percentage is about as hard as linear algebra for you?

Here's your words: "Yes, I think there are people who ascribe negative connotations to making use of financial systems. Where I've encountered them, for the most part, they tend to be less-wealthy folk looking for some extern

You do realize that what you're saying is that anyone who disagrees with you is poor and you don't listen to poor people right?

Trains are also way more efficient than cars at transporting people. If everyone taking the train was driving instead you can bet air quality would be way worse.

I guess I don't see the comparison the same way you do. You frame it as comparing something dangerous to something safe. I see it as something you would be willing to do without fear, to something even safer than that. I don't dis

What makes it a fallacy? Statistically speaking, being ok with driving but being scared of going on an airplane, any airplane, makes absolutely no sense

I don't think the things you're referring to have had nearly the impact you're claiming they had. They've just taken things we already had and made them slightly more convenient. Ring is just doorbell cameras. Japan has

I hear what you're saying about Japanese people not complaining as much, but I don't think it's just that. The only time they complain about 円安 is when they go abroad, which isn't very often. The problem is a lot more no

There's a strong home market bias in Japan, and the government is helping with gas prices as well.

Funny how every single foreigner seems to think the "weak yen" is ruining everyone's lives and yet I've never heard a Japanese person complain about it

Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you honestly believe drug dealers are stealing formula to cut drugs with rather than mom's just need to feed their babies

That's the same logic that mass murder supporters use to justify the sale of assault rifles to the general public in the USA

Ok but why should a car have the ability to be a nuisance in the first place? I get that you're saying you're responsible about it but if we allow that, then people who are not responsible will also do it.

What about literally everyone else you bothered outside your neighborhood

It's really not nuanced. You seem to think that other loud cars are bad but your loud car is ok but guess what, they're all the same to the people outside the car. I don't care about your performance car. Go to a racetrack if
