Mustached Demon posted:You're assuming the demand slides with price when it does not necessarily based on the market for that drug/device. Then there's cash flow to consider, too. That peak of maximum profit depends on development costs because that's sort of how investments work--spend x, get x+y back, make y. You missed the point of that post by such a large margin that it had to be on purpose.

tetrapyloctomy posted:I hear this fairly frequently in physician circles and those who say it never seem to have a good response to, "When did anyone ever say that you wouldn't be compensated for the work you do?" I mean, I literally have to follow a law that says that I have to provide emergency stabilization to anyone who makes it to my facility, in a catchment area with a truly atrocious reimbursement rate, and while I am not exactly blowing my nose into Benjamin Franklins I sure as hell feel as though I get compensated very well for my time. I'm pretty sure our trauma surgeons aren't starving either. But try to prevent a huge chunk of the population from going into medical-related bankruptcy or suffer from measurable increases in morbidity and mortality, and suddenly loving ophthalmologists and dermatologists who have never taken a day of call in their professional lives crawl out of the (rare and exotic, hand-hewn) woodwork to scream, "BUT WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME WORK FOR FREE?!" You know you seem pretty angry at the US medical system. Have you ever, no joke, looked into what it would take for you to be able to work in Canada? Or are you staying put because America needs doctors that actually care like you?

True story: doctors were partially responsible for shooting down every healthcare reform from the first Roosevelt era to Nixon. They had a slick PR campaign where they managed to convince the American people they were more than just a self interested cartel.

Out of curiosity, is the definition of "left" consistent across those measures? Are we sure they aren't capturing centrists that have been grouped in with the left in more recent surveys?

The millenial generational cohort and the one coming after are not merely more left wing or more blue, they're both far more importantly far more brown. At the moment, the Republicans have doubled down several times over on voter suppression and closely related immigration crackdowns designed to disrupt the path to citizenship. They at the same time are lobbying for more non citizenship path temp guest worker passes for low wage work. The goal here is obvious, to paralyze the ability of as many brown people as possible to vote every which way they can. The hope for the future of this country lies not in some improvement to the politics of the next iteration of white peole, it lies in the brown people this administration is trying to ghettoize through imigration law. The most underreported story in American politics right now is ICE moving against law abiding undocumented folks after exhausting the entire list of ones who actually did crime here. They've flooded the immigration courts with the equivalent of bogus probation violation show causes to overburden the court and place a soft freeze on people fixing their immigration status.

Aves Maria! posted:that's not how this works. there is no study on this planet that proves people get more conservative as they age A thought about this: If people remain ideologically consistent through life (something studies have shown is largely true), but the political discourse shifts left over time (the whole point of progressivism vs conservativism), then it would seem like people become more conservative as they age. In absolute terms, their positions might not have changed but progressive positions from fifty years ago (e.g. blacks should probably be allowed to drink at the same water fountains as whites) look pretty starkly un-progressive now.
