So what's the deal with the cost of pretty essential medical treatment items (epipens, insulin, certain medicines) suddenly surging over the last two weeks? Haven't been keeping up much. Is it just a Shkreli thing where outside people are coming in, buying the rights to this stuff and jacking the price up because Congress allows them too?

Lightning Knight posted:It's not a sudden thing, it's been happening for decades. Private healthcare, at every level - from pharmaceuticals to the payment system to the doctors themselves - is ethically bankrupt and full to the brim with moral hazards that economically incentivize people to literally corner dying people on drugs and treatment they 100% need in order to turn a greater profit. Until we kill for-profit medical care we'll continue to have problems like this. So what's the solution to for-profit medical care? Putting it all under the government? And can't most of these drugs be imported from Europe or are the high profile ones (namely the insulin and the epi-pens) only made by the specific companies that are jacking the prices up?

ComradeCosmobot posted:So it turns out that if you've ever clicked through that "Non Disclosure Agreement" so you can volunteer for Trump, you've agreed to never say a bad word about Trump, any member of his family, his businesses or his family's businesses for the rest of your life. Don't these kinds of agreements usually get thrown out of court if they do get taken to that stage?

Doesn't tesla also have a pretty huge disclaimer with those cars that you still have to pay attention and that the car isn't completely autonomous? Like people being irresponsible drivers doesn't seem like their fault

Guy Goodbody posted:Are you guys seriously still arguing that Clinton is in the prime of health and perfectly fine? She has pneumonia, that is an illness. I know we all don't want anything to help Trump, but can we please please please all agree that someone who currently has the flu is sick? Yes they are sick at that moment but their overall health is generally fine. Once the pneumonia passes we'll have spazzy hillbot 9000 back and all will be just as it was aventari posted:"Everyone healthy gets pneumonia, has coughing fits, and passes out occasionally, why would anyone ever need to know that?" As someone who has had pneumonia, yes, anyone healthy can get pneumonia, a lung infection, that causes coughing fits and shortness of breath and when combined with heat exhaustion and dehydration, leads to passing out when all of those specific boxes are ticked. But relevant information and facts don't seem to be to high on your list of "Things to evaluate before posting" chart.

Electing Trump would not be the end of the world, that's just hyperbole. It would, however, be pretty loving awful if he even got to do 10% of the things he has said he will do when he is elected president. So no, not end of the world type material, but definitely detrimental to a number of people in the nation.

Rincewinds posted:There are plenty of rumors that Trump is not even practicing, that's sets the bar as low as possible, while he probably have been practicing, if not on policy, then on how to appear to act reasonable and keeping relatively calm. Being an expert conman, he will give broad, fluffy answers that are appealing but without any substance, and refuse to engage Clinton if she wants any details on his supposed solutions, claiming that his solution is sensible and fair, while harping on Clinton going to either weaken and bankrupt USA, with the moderator nodding along, keeping track of time. the only way Trump or his fanbase consider this a loss is if he shoots Hillary on stage and goes to jail. Him being literally a murderer is what I think would have to come out for him to become completely unelectable.
