I was trying to find the guy's blog post where he was hyping it as The Future, but I didn't have enough time to keep digging. I feel like it's been posted in here or in the pseudoscience thread before, though.

Pharmaceutical CEO raises the price of antibiotics by 400% to $2300 a bottle, says it's because his company has a "moral imperative" to make as much money as possible.quote:"I think it is a moral requirement to make money when you can," Mulye told the Financial Times, "to sell the product for the highest price." At what point does raiding the building become a moral imperative?

Donald Trump called Martin Shkreli an rear end in a top hat during the campaign for raising drug prices like he did, and I'm pretty sure he meant it too. Think about that. His business practices were too lovely for Donald Trump.

He absolutely would have gotten a free pass if he'd said, "look, it costs money to develop new drugs and yeah, this sucks, but that's the system." instead of his supervillain routine. The American media, and even the public, will forgive a lot of ongoing horrible behavior with just a little humility.

A 40 capsule prescription is about 3 dolllars here in Mexico, so uh

StrixNebulosa posted:Tumblr, with no source, IIRC that's from the earlier Winter War when the Soviets sent their troops into Finland without adequate winter equipment or supplies. IIRC the story was that a recon unit got cut off for a couple months in a remote area during the winter and they killed and ate several of their comrades after running out of supplies, cutting up the bodies to carry with them. The photos were classified and locked up until the 80s by the Finnish military, along with other photos deemed too shocking for public release. Now the "anti-cannibalism brigade" thing was mainly from the siege of Leningrad, and specifically the first winter of the siege. The NKVD and city police had to set up a special department to deal with civilians stealing and eating corpses. "person-eating" was much rarer than "corpse-eating" or murdering somebody to steal their rations. Corpse eaters were simply sent to prison while murderers were executed. It was only something like 2-3,000 incidents, and only a fraction of those being murder-for-flesh, in a siege that killed 1,500,000 some civilians and soldiers trapped in the city.

No I meant more if you steal from the poor you get a pat on the back but stealing from the rich is off the table. To be fair, I'm not entirely sure on who all Bernie hosed over but I wouldn't be surprised if they quit putting up with it once it started affecting the rich

The rest of the pharmaceutical industry was pissed off at Shkreli because he was making them look bad... by being so dumb and obvious about it. What he did is considered normal practice, it’s just usually cloaked in a more competent corporate messaging plan and represented by people who aren’t scientifically the least trustworthy-looking human being alive

I'm unclear on how close he actually was to insolvency, but he knew it was the end. The very nature of his scheme meant that it was inevitable.
