ā€œHeā€™ll take my money, but he wonā€™t engage with me for five minutes to understand this issue better.ā€

So, you slimy bastard, youā€™re complaining that your money doesnā€™t grant you special access and that your actions only have generated resounding scorn? Cry my a river, asshole.

ā€œI think itā€™s cheap to use one personā€™s action as a platform without kind of talking to that person,ā€ Shkreli told the Globe. ā€œHeā€™ll take my money, but he wonā€™t engage with me for five minutes to understand this issue better.ā€

Hmm, IĀ“m thinking that Sanders might win this dispute in the court of public opinion.

He didnā€™t ā€œtakeā€ your money asshole.

You gave it to him. As soon as smelled the stench on the money, he immediately re-gifted it.

The Shrek actually looks like The Joker in some of his pictures. But what should his nickname be?

Let Shkreli spend 5 minutes as a destitute person dying because they canā€™t afford their drug treatments. Then we can spend 5 minutes with him talking about how the drug companies are not making enough profit.

He couldnā€™t have asked for the meeting without also making a contribution? Has he conveyed to the campaign itā€™s unfortunate they perceive the contribution represents a negative message in the campaign but heā€™d nevertheless still like to speak with Sanders about an important issue?

Taking over the lead for the most punchable face in America.

Looks like someone just did. Well, the verbal equivalent.

Shrkeli is the biggest clueless asshole on the planet. Yes I understand perfecty jerk. When you have a drug that means life and death, you want to charge as much as the market will bear even if people die as a result because they can not afford it.

Every time someone criticizes the cost of drugs some dumbledore complains ā€œtheyā€™re Socialists and they donā€™t understand how we set prices.ā€ Guess whatā€¦ I am pretty sure that Bernie understands how you set prices but just doesnā€™t think itā€™s right when it comes to selling something that can save someoneā€™s life.
