I wish, with such a insane amount of news outlets on the internet reporting click-baity or misinformed news, people would read more than just headlines.
But I will try and explain the Shkreli situation. He is a scapegoat for the media, and he knows it and embraces it, because that whole scandal showed a massive flaw in the pharmaceutical industries, and yet the media demonized him. He did nothing wrong. The price for the drug, Daraprim, is and was always the same for the people who need it and that will not change, as the price for patients has a limit, according to government guidelines. He changed the drug price for the insurance companies, because as he said, why not, this drug is almost 50 years old, barely doing nothing at this point and is prescribed for a illness that is really rare, and that’s why he hiked the price for the companies, for R&D for a new, even better drug. Pharma don’t see the reason to waste a large amount of money to R&D a drug for a really small pool of patients, as in the end the company is losing money. And yet, insurance companies, mad about losing money, blame Shkreli that he made them pay the insanely high price of the drug for the patients. It’s kinda sad how easily manipulative media can become, and him probably being on the spectrum struggled a lot to change public opinion once the wolves came out.
In fact, he said that, any individual that can’t afford it then his company will comp it. So he and his company is operating at a loss, and he still keep’s doing it for these patients.
Make your own conclusions. I may have missed a few points here and there, but from downright hating him until making my own research and conclusion, I learned to respect him a bit.
You’re starting to remind me of a segment Adam Carolla (haven’t listened in years) used to do. Something called ‘What Can’t Adam Complain About?’ and people would shout out random shit from the audience and he’d respond to it. His execution is much better than Duda’s though
I’m an idiot and didn’t fully comprehend the title until halfway through when you finally said no. I was getting mad up until that point thinking you were just going to go along with it. I’ve never understood the pressure to go to work functions. I go because I want to, but I’ve no problem saying no if I’m not feeling it. Good work on setting the precedent, hilarious to picture a few others following suit
I’ve had 2 really good dates with a girl way out of my league in the last week and I’m making the same mistakes this guy is… I thought we were too old for shit like texting rules etc

Yep. Fully agree. Those shorts FaF and should make a comeback. Strong take Duda. Bonus points for looking like an irregular in the Rhodesian Army….

Vienna is in Austria, not Switzerland FYI
Was really hoping he went to the bar only to find out she meant to send it to the new guy
Second email was painful to read, bro
Don’t think he was hanging out with them as much as they were in the same establishment?
Hells yeah give him a chance!

You’re a goddamn genious
Pretty sure the apps are broken these days guys, I definitely haven’t been shown to anyone in ages. Someone should write a letter to Tinder
My boss does the first name initial – def a PM
Whatsapp homie
Wow, that’s a throwback!
Is it just me who sees Charlie literally as Charlie Kelly?
