Billionaires rarely stop and think "that's enough money for me now" as for the "he's selling medicine though so that makes him a good guy" you lads should look up some actual info about what these guys do for healthcare, conditions that could potentially have a "cure" which would stop patients being on medication their whole lives are never researched to develop those cures, because the cure wouldn't be as profitable as a lifetime on costly meds, especially since lifetime conditions with things like my own type 1 diabetes are covered by the Gov to pay for my meds, which they have to pay anywhere up to 200e per box of insulin for me each time 200e for 15ml of the stuff, if ye are actually interested there is a good read at But yeah, people who are billionaires from illness are not philanthropists, never mistake them as such, they are billionaires, each $ they have is from someone who is in need of having to pay for medication or die. The farmer analogy doesn't work on so many levels, for one I'm not aware of too many farmers who are billionaires, and also... if you don't like food from a certain farm you can go elsewhere for your meals or even plant your own gardens, the same option is not available for people reliant on these people who increase the cost of their medication at "analysis of Truven Health Analytics data, over the past two decades, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk raised prices on their human insulins 450 percent above inflation, closely in sync."
bit off topic but - Also... from the pic in the OP, does it sort of look like she has had cosmetic surgery on her face... to look like him? Might be just the way I'm looking at it but, I guess if the guy really loves himself it wouldn't be a bad way to go down. (if there was tin foil hat thoughts about the "they wouldn't look for a cure" text above, think about my insulins, 200x3 per month, x 12 months for about 50 years I'll be alive, do you think a pharmacy would even bother trying to sell a cure for that condition knowing they would have to put the fee at €360k if they wanted to keep the books in check with what they would earn from insulin, and that isn't even starting to talk about the costs such as monitoring equipment, needles, lancets, test strips and other related to diabetes medication I take.) |
Certainly they would. Because if they don't, some other pharmacy will start selling it, and you'd end up with both not selling insulin and equipment, and also not selling the diabetes cure. It just so happens that curing diabetes is pretty difficult. CRISPR-CAS9 might do it though.
