The irony? Your local poor schlub a-hole can be arrested and charged if he doubles the price of gas, water, or other life-critical goods after a natural disaster - that's a crime in America. Meanwhile, it's completely legal for a company to raise a life-critical drug by over 5000% -- that's capitalism in America.
Shkreli is only the most written about example. This "business trend' is all the rage and has been widely employed in the U.S. for a number of years now. http://news.health.com/2015/09/25/6-insane-examples-of-prescription-drug-price-increases/ Patrick From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2015 8:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] OT - Martin Shkreli Apparently this guy AND HIS LAWYER were arrested today. Everybody knows him as the guy who raises drug prices 5000%, but I did not know he live streams almost daily to his fans. Watch the first video, isn't he just like every annoying, entitled, slacker kid living in his parents basement that we have to deal with bitching about his Internet? Except he is CEO of a drug company. I didn't think it was possible to hate him more, but watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8gjB1PSXv_oAUSAQ16S0fA ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************
