LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DOG

CEOs are just as stupid as the average person.

Why? Would an intelligent person jack the prices so drastically then basically brag about it causing a public outcry and having the attention turn to them during an election year? gently caress no.

These people don't deserve the obscene wealth they have. There's no amount of work they are doing to justify it.

it's so cute that you think anything can be done about this

I used to think pharma conspiracy theorists who talked about a cure for cancer being suppressed for being unprofitable were crazy. At this point I'm pretty sure they're right though. I don't think we've discovered some magic bullet treatment for cancer and just not given it out, but at the same time I'm absolutely certain we could have and every pharmacorp that was working down that road either gave it up to sell their slipshod trash treatment, or got bought out by somebody like Valeant who sold their slipshod trash treatment for $800 a pill and fired their researchers

Oh no they wouldn't suppress knowledge of it, they'd sell the gently caress out of it and just slightly tweak it when the patent expires and just patent the new drug (cf. insulin)
