America has interests and not friends. Israelis understand this. Similarly Israel has interests and not friends. They are interested in protecting their own interests. Even if it costs Americans for them to do so. So you can basically say I

But those things are not controllable. I don't just want to know who you are giving money to, I want to be able to stop you from giving money to anyone at any time for any justifiable flimsy explanation. Think about what PayPal is doin

And yet still forces you to file their taxes, despite having all the information available to them to simply send you a bill at the end of the year.

Every city needs an area of town which is commercial, owned by the city, and heavily subsidized to promote social welfare, art, and commerce. For the people that don't want to participate in society on the terms of Capitalists. In such

If it's not true then why are you so offended by comment enough to tell me to "keep my ill-informed assumptions to myself". At some level you must believe what I said to be true or at least offensive to your held world view.

Shkreli is slowing or perhaps quickly becoming an anti-hero against drug companies. Sort of movies like He was a quiet man. He's inadvertently becoming a poster child for drug price reform.
