I love how the fines are "proportional to" the amount of the drug price increase, not equal to. A $1 fine for every $1,000,000,000 in extra revenue due to raised prices would be "proportional".Agean90 posted:best part is I brought up literally that same idea during one of my previous shitposts lol Yeah I know, it was like three posts before the one I'm quoting, loving hell goons can't even take a compliment right

zegermans posted:for reals though I've had a post or two that I deleted halfway through because I was like "uh is this antisemitic?" Generally speaking (as someone also Jewish of course), unless the listener is explicitly pro-Israel/Zionist (in which case that's what's driving their interpretation more than being Jewish), it's just sorta obvious if someone talking about Israel is antisemitic. It's usually indicated more by the sort of language a person uses (like if they start calling Israelis "dogs" or something) than the criticism itself. Criticism that extends to Jewish non-Israelis is also obviously something indicating antisemitism. It's the sort of thing where "if you have to ask, it's actually probably not antisemitic" (because if you're asking it means your intentions probably aren't bad).

I kinda feel for CC. In another time, before 9/11, before 2008, before the escalator, a suggestion to create a department of the government that provides oversight on drug prices would've been impressive. But now, we've seen how those things all operate, and everyone knows it's not enough.

Main Paineframe posted:the problem is that they don't want to attack pharma pricing as a whole, they just want to prevent price increases from being so huge and so obviously unnecessary that they call down public scrutiny on the industry as a whole yes, and the leadtime for any legislation to be passed and in effect will give them plenty of years to continue jacking prices.

Concerned Citizen posted:if you want to argue that it is not sufficiently broad or exciting as the first item to be rolled out for the jobs portion of the proposal, i would agree. if you want to argue that it's a pile of centrist lanyard garbage, well, i guess blame bernie for it since he wrote it. A lot of "centrist lanyard garbage" as you put it is stuff that is technically good in the sense that it will help some people, but woefully insufficient to begin to address the problems our nation faces. As an exaggerated analogy, it's sorta like if you promised to give $100 to every person making under $30k/year. That is undeniably better than nothing, but it's also hilarious to act like it will even begin to put a dent into the greater problems Americans are facing. edit: Basically liberals often pull this rhetorical game where they go "SO ARE YOU SAYING WE SHOULDN'T DO THIS THING THAT IS HELPING PEOPLE?!" when people are more upset about what Democrats aren't doing (especially if the policy in question is some lesser replacement for something we actually need).

Venom Snake posted:Not to sound like the gorilla cum man but the democrats have a big "mindset" problem where they cannot conceive of a world where sweeping change and progress is possible. Big ideas like restructuring the healthcare industry or new social welfare programs are scary to them because they have been mentally conditioned to think such things aren't possible I think it's more that, when your life is already comfortable, the idea of significant change carries more risk than benefit (to you and the people you know and care about, who are likely also wealthy professionals). From their perspective, there's no need to rock the boat, so to speak.
