I’m sorry but that is bollocks.

you just said the opposite a mere five posts before this one.

You literally said the opposite of that.

now you are saying Trump wanting exclusivity for Americans is good for everyone else?

come on mate.

Either own Trumps bullshit and be a proud MAGA or not.

but please. And I mean this. Do not lie to me.

I hate liars.
I didn't say that, you commented that Europe shared medical advancements, I just pointed out the US had done the same.

As you lie on your death bed about to meet certain death please bring back Teh Dump and MoD me ..in return I’ll sticky a rememberence thread in your honor for 7 days.

You'll have to talk to sparkuri @sparkuri who gets part ownership of the site on my death, probably engineered this virus as a bio weapon to kill me, knowing my love of 5G, and is already setting up an order of succession to keep a thousand years of his empire reign over TMMAC

Fair enough.

But bug pharma in America is a cancer.

Your own politicians agree on this

Even Donald Trump ran on that ticket.

There is no charity from you.

America has generated 50% of All new drugs in the world in the last 20 years.
There's lots of dysfunction in a way that the pricing occurs for us, but our research and development subsidizes the entire world.
we can go into all the details of this some other time, but to just call it a cancer completely ignores the reality that requires much more nuance than populist ranting.

Are they things about it not great, sure are. But from my own personal experiences I'd rather pay for quality care then get free gov healthcare in this country.

Well that’s where we differ.

and no other country in the developed world agrees with you.

it’s horrible what you do.

what about the guy who bought the AIDS drugs licence and then hiked up the price by 4000%?

The world laughs at you.

I’m glad you are healthy.

You don’t subsidise anything.

The world pays for anything you give. Be it oil, money or blood.

We have no option but to take what you give us. Same as when we had the military power.

you are not some benign force.

Most of those new drugs are derivatives of government funded research. Something like 80%. Also those corporations are only making drugs for things that turn a profit. Things like new antibiotics that aren't profitable aren't being created. Yes the US is at the cutting edge but it's not because corporations are putting the vast healthcare costs into research.

I'm horrible because my employer has an insurance policy that is fantastic and I'd rather use that than the government run Healthcare that I have access to, because they can't even read mri's correctly?

We wanted to reach out to you in the midst of what we know to be historic and volatile market conditions, due in part to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
In light of recent drops in the S&P 500, there have been market-wide trading halts, triggered by mechanisms put in place by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Market-wide trading halts are designed to help stabilize the financial markets during volatile periods.
Halts are issued by US equities, options, and futures exchanges and can last 15 minutes or the remainder of the trading day.

Here are some good things to know if another trading halt occurs:

  • Can I trade during a market-wide halt?
  • You can place new orders during a halt, but they will not be processed until the halt is over and the market reopens.
  • Please note that market orders held or placed during a halt may fill at a very different price once trading resumes.
