Making profit off of medication (or any other basic survival need, for that matter, and especially if they’re publicly funded) is and always will be immoral.

Yeah, I wasn’t really paying that much attention, and went off of OP reply’s 30 x 1000 and then missed out a zero lol

But yeah, it only gets more despicable the more accurate the numbers are…

I understand they need to recoup research costs, but…

Except they don’t even need to do that, because, as is with most pharmaceuticals, the research was almost fully funded by the taxpayer.

And the 30% profit is for a generic product, so the research has already been done.

So yeah, 30% profit is of course much better than 3000%, but both are still obscene profiteering off of a lifesaving product paid for by, and then essentially withheld for ransom from, the general public.

True…

Though an “it” at the end of that sentence would have gone a long way to reduce my initial confusion lmao😂

To toss off

Posted this above, might as well pop it here too, seems relevant:

Sure it’s not (he doesn’t have to be mentioned by name for it to be all over this)…

Right? The fact that people are still convinced he’s some genius mastermind that people only hate because of what he did to twitter is fucking mind blowing.

If nothing else though, it goes to show just how well the propaganda is working…

But, he’s gone for a shorter term play at an-cap fascism.

Lmfao, the idea that apartheid boy ever had any ideas for himself other than becoming white supremacist super king is as fucking laughable as the idea that he contributed anything to any company he has ever run other than money, or that any of the the work he exploits others for couldn’t have been achieved any other way…

I just also believe in personal accountability.

Something something bootstraps!

Jfc… 🤦‍♀️

You could have saved yourself a little typing and just said you’re a wilfully ignorant classist bootlicker… 🙄

Careful though, just like the majority of the population, you’re barely a missed pay check or two, or one big accident/disaster, away from being homeless yourself… That despicable attitude of yours may very well come back to bite you in your self cantered unempathetic ass sooner than you think…

Ah yes, the high road, the best know cure for and deterrent of fascism… 🙄

further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

Literally already happening.

How anyone can think that rolling over and playing dead while fascists stomp their way in to (more) power is a better way to “fight” them, than, I don’t know, actually fighting them, is honestly mind blowing.

Check your privilege, the fact that you aren’t impacted by their ongoing war, doesn’t mean no one else is.

going to a grocery store that is not fully stocked and only the self-checkouts are open because the pay is so low no one can afford to work is more than normal now in the US

Look at the upside - easier to shoplift.

On a more serious note though, this is all a feature, not a bug. As the meme goes - everything they threatened would eventually happen under communism is already happening under capitalism. At it will never get better until capitalism is abolished and a hierarchy free, horizontal society is built on its ashes.

In other words you think it’s reasonable to criticise homeless people for not giving up and abandoning their companions and dependants, who provide comfort and love in the bleakest of times, as soon as times got hard… Classy.

Shouldn’t have fucked raped those kids.

FTFY

Depression and mental illness leads some to want to go with a bang

No, they really fucking don’t, privilege and the sense of entitlement it gives do.

Like seriously, beyond the bullshit that is scapegoating mental illness because it’s easier than facing reality, that’s literally not how depression works, nor “mental illness” in general, especially when you consider that mentally ill people are significantly more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrate it.

Stop perpetuating this lazy counterproductive bullshit.

Widening Protests Kill 39

That’s a really fucked up victim-blamey way to say the police have killed 39 protestors.

Lmao, “women are perfectly capable of defending fascists too!” 🙄🤦‍♀️

Like, fuck the patriarchy and all its ills, but don’t mistake this bullshit for feminism or anything that deserves any applause, it’s hardly even bare minimum, and they’re all a bunch of bootlickers, not heroes, whatever gender.

But as I said, I doubt if it will increase the overall hits for Wikipedia or be a last straw for people hesitating to use the site

Why the fuck do you think accessibility is about increasing hits?

Ah, well, if you can’t imagine it, then all those people with visual impairments who haven’t been able to read the content previously simply must not exist! 🙄🤦‍♀️
