this isn't capitalism this is IP law f**k

Yeah there's not a lot you can do when the FDA grants sole ownership of certain drugs and other companies can built portfolios of drugs with absolutely no competition.

When your the only player in town, you can do whatever the f**k you want.

Everything wrong with spreading messages and talking points without first understanding the facts.

daraprim is 62 years old.

turing, the manufacturer is not even profitable, according to the ceo.

incompetence rewarded via lack of competition via edict.

SOBs.

Ya, Swing and a miss.


You failed at making a correct differentiation between what is and isn't a free market capitalism. The government has granted a monopoly on this product by giving an exclusive patent for over six decades. Patents like this normally only last five years. This isn't the result of the free market. This is the result of government ineptitude, or cronyism.

Oh, this isn't capitalism, is that it? Let me guess, patent laws are sosh-ee-lis-tick, am I right?



You people are bending over backwards to gleefully attack strawmen and defend the very worst aspects of our capitalist society, which values rugged individuals and hates the lazy, TANF-using AIDS victims. And now instead of addressing the issue, you are attacking the poster - gee, that's a new trick isn't it? Sure is original of you.

socialism is not the only corruption of government. Corporotocracy is socialism for the rich and that's much closer to what we have. it's a form of fascism.
