Straw man. Come back when you’re not going to use childish devices and are ready to have a real discussion.

Why are you still here?

I knew exactly what you meant and exactly what you were trying to do and shot you down.

My position is that you have nothing but a bunch of tired clichés. They don’t work when the person you hurl them at calls them out instead of taking the bait.

I work for a US company, make a salary that puts me in the top 1% of salaries in Canada , and live in an eastern Ontario town of 200 people. I would never move to the US.

Ever.

The classic, “No you are!” defense.

Big tech companies are greedy. They would sell their grandmothers for a dollar. If they can make $0.99 instead of $1 they’re going to wave their dicks settings and hope everyone just caves buy ultimately they aren’t going to be willing to give up that $0.99.

I was waiting to self checkout at a Walmart where there are 4 of around a dozen self-checkouts working. I asked about the ones that were not working and the employee told me that they can only open 4 units for every employee present. In order to have all 12 open they need 3 people there.

Like I said…if the research GND development is publicly funded then the drug should be public and we should pay enough for it to pay for the research into the next drug. Socialism.

If a company pays for the research and development then they should be allowed to make their investment back with reasonable but not unlimited profit and not forever. Limited capitalism.

They are a lot more affordable because the generic drug manufacturers didn’t pay for the research and development. They’re taking the product of someone else’s hard work, voting it, and selling it for less. That’s easy when you didn’t spend money developing the drug. There had to be some profit in making drugs if you want companies to do it but what I’m saying is that that should not be unlimited.

Drug companies should be allowed to make back their investment and should be allowed up make reasonable profit. They should not be allowed to make unlimited profit forever.

Drugs produced as a result of publicly funded research should be manufactured and sold at a reasonable profit to support more publicly funded research.
