Lunatics running the asylumâŚ
ETA: OT but heartening. 400 miliionaires sign letter to Congress saying âdo not reduce my taxesâ.
âHe will be a star for better healthcare and lower drug prices!â
Ha! Hahahahahaha. That Donald. He sure is card. He and Duterte ought to team up for a comedy team.
Guess Shkreli wasnât available.
Martin Shkreli turned it down owing to a previous committment.
Yeah, Shkerli checked all of Donaldâs boxes. But Azar has one qualification that even that psychopath couldnât match: Azar was a staff attorney for Ken Starrâs crack Whitewater investigation.
Beat me to it. Ha.
Of all the Pharmas, Lilly seems to be the most reviled by docs I know, for the price gouging and general lack of ethics.
Perhaps his greatest qualification is that he comes with his own private jet?
ââŚand lower drug prices!â
In other news, Trump announced his pick to head the DEA: JoaquĂn âEl Chapoâ GuzmĂĄn. Weâll get lower drug prices from him as well.
Azar was a staff attorney for Ken Starrâs crack Whitewater investigation.
I see Trumpâs eleven-dimensional chess at work hereâSessions will be forced to resign, and Trump will move Azar to head the Justice Dept so he can begin investigating Mueller.
Weâre going to get so tough on Pharma; weâre going to get those drugs prices down. Believe me!
At this point I think we can also expect that any meaningful action on opioids will come at the state level.
Azar? A âstarâ? More like a Czar. Didnât we get our fill of those with the Bush administration?
CEOs are hardly ever well equipped for political or technocratic leadership. Conservatives always seem to myth the point.
Theyâre based in Indianapolis, so thereâs probably a Pence connection. But then, Lilly has been notoriously plugged in to the GOP establishment since at least the reign of Bush the GroperâŚ
Yet another cabinet secretary nominated to dismantle the agency he will run. What is/are Azarâs tie(s) to Russia?
âBy this means the government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft.â â John Maynard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace
You so beat me to it.
The millionaire trumpâs thinking of as he pushes this abomination on us is himself of course. And heâs trying to spare the various spawn from the âonerousâ estate tax, paid by only about 1% of the very rich.
