Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

he's aware the pharmaceutical lobby has deep pockets, so this is more like a ransom
Exactly. He will ask for 99.9% of what they make.
So you're saying prices will go up 99%
Well, yeah.
Gotta make profits somehow and avoid Seal Team 6 liquidating your ass on the way to the Hamptons.
I'd be more wary about windows.
not how math works...
I'm not even going to bother explaining the joke to you. I am disappointed in you as a person though.
your anger seems misplaced, you should really be angry at yourself.
i understand what joke you tried to make, it just doesn't make sense. "not making sense" doesn't automatically make something funny. 🤷♂️
Disappointment is not anger.
What joke do you think I made?
it is, just camouflaged.
prices going up 99% would result in "them" having ~0,2%, instead of the 0,1% they had before. so, you see, your joke, where you tried to pass the expense of the bribe onto customer, doesn't work, before your math is way off.
Edit. Nevermind. I was giving this person way too much credit.
i am not really sure what this word salad means, but if you finally understood problem with your "joke", i am happy i could have helped.
It's not my joke, you dolt.
my humble apology.
if you finally understood someone else's joke
i am happy i could have helped.
bye
What is wrong with you?
Vaccines are not cash cows, so they might put some cash in his pockets just to make his threat a reality
Interestingly, "vaccine" comes from the latin vaccīnus which means "from the cow".
More like racketeering I believe.
