I think that's the most damning thing I've read yet - the drug is 62 years old. Yes they've been producing and selling the drug for 0.2% of the actual cost of the drug for 62 years but somehow managed to stay afloat.

Well, his company recently purchased it.

But if you think about it, purchasing a cheap drug for dying people at such a high price that you KNOW you have to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for it is more evil than trying to keep a struggling company afloat.

It's not AIDS medication, it's for Toxoplasmosis. Because you're a lot more likely to catch that when you have AIDS, both because of your reduced immune system, and because when you've become gross and friendless, your five cats are the only companionship you get. :toxogond:

The phrase "Arbite Macht Frei" (Work Will Set You Free) was above the entrance to Auschwitz, the most notorious concentration camp the nazis ran during WWII

It's German for "Jew". The Nazis forced Jews to wear those stars, to make it easier to single them out for ill treatment on the streets. Yom Kippur is a very sacred Jewish holiday. These two things do not go together. :thejoke:

No, that means "Jew" in German. Jewish people were forced to wear those yellow stars so that they could be more easily controlled during the ghettoisation of their populations before and during the activity of the concentration camps.

I never know if someone is being facetious about not knowing this, or if they actually don't know, so I guess if you're trolling, good job, you got me.

The graphic appears to be literally from the pajamas of someone in a concentration camp due to the striped fabric the star is resting on.

To be fair the Jew kid has probably no idea how it really was to live in a ghetto in 1940

I guess I'm just ignorant, but a few points about why I wouldn't have gotten that without explanation:

1. I knew about the "nazis making them wear such and such so we can identify jews", but I didn't know they called jews "Jude"
2. I've heard of Yom Kippur, but have no idea what it was for. For all I know it could have been a sacred Jewish holiday in remembrance of the holocaust like veteran's day/nine eleven/memorial day. So even if I knew about "Jude", it could genuinely be an image you could use to represent that.

Again, I'll freely admit I'm a dumb american.
