gowlerk 1,901 #26 February 8, 2016 Right on. I was highly amused by the obvious contempt he showed for the Committee of Congress. The irony is that many Americans also have a high level of contempt for the current Congress. Yet Shkreli is one of a very few people that are currently held in even more contempt. Putin gets more respect than he does. Maybe even Hillary and The President.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Phil1111 901 #38 March 9, 2018 Everything You Know About Martin Shkreli Is Wrong—or Is It? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/12/martin-shkreli-pharmaceuticals-ceo-interview Named the most hated man in America. But Hollywood made a movie of stock promoters and boiler room operations. Everyone loved it. Isn't it just how free enterprise is supposed to work? Mr.Jerry Falwell, a leading US televangelist opined that AIDS was ‘God’s judgment on promiscuity.’ That "AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals." Now his son: Evangelical Jerry Falwell Jr. defends Trump: Jesus “never told Caesar how to run Rome” https://www.vox.com/2018/1/26/16936010/evangelicals-jerry-falwell-trump-caesar-rome One man provides drugs to better the lives of AIDS patients and make a profit. The other two men, father and son. Invokes the name of GOD and calls the consequences of AIDS, just and fair punishment. By the way. Jerry Falwell used God's name and teachings from the pulpit as aforementioned. To a net worth of ten billion dollars. A bit unfair? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,339 #40 March 9, 2018 Phil1111 One man provides drugs to better the lives of AIDS patients and make a profit. Not quite sure what you mean by that. Shkreli bought the rights to an AIDS drug, and then jacked up the price to the point many could no longer afford it. Not sure how that constitutes "providing". I'd call it 'price gouging.'

One man's gouger is another man's capitalist. But I think Phil's point was simply that there is not a lot of difference between the evil of Shkreli and that of the Falwell's. They both profit from the AIDs afflicted community in one way or another.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Form a monopoly and gouge the living shit out of the customer. However, the government found that behavior damaging enough in many respects to prohibit it. I've thought Falwell (both of them) are about as evil as it gets. In many ways more so than Shkreli.

Phil1111 901 #43 March 10, 2018 wolfriverjoe*** One man provides drugs to better the lives of AIDS patients and make a profit. Not quite sure what you mean by that. Shkreli bought the rights to an AIDS drug, and then jacked up the price to the point many could no longer afford it. Not sure how that constitutes "providing". I'd call it 'price gouging.' You know, like the title of the thread. There is a show on TV now titled "Intervention". It deals with addicts and those family members that to a lessor extent enable the addictions. Essentially a meeting takes place and the entire circle of family and friends. Make the case to the addict that if they don't go to treatment, i.e. cold turkey. They will be cut off permanently. Here is a better grasp as to Mr. Shkreli's enablers. The US healthcare industry. Trademark, Pharma, law and profit. https://hbr.org/2016/07/price-gouging-and-the-dangerous-new-breed-of-pharma-companies According to this Mr. Shkreli is merely part of a growing industry. One created by the poor drafting of law by congress and likely lots of pharma lobbying cash. Is there a difference between the greed of the industry, its lobbyists, political enablers and Mr. Shkreli? His crime wasn't the price gouging. Neither trump nor congress has even looked at these issues. Although trump promised: Trump’s abandoned promise to bring down drug prices, explained https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/30/16896434/trump-drug-prices-year-one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
