"Pay fair share"

Hahahahaha he says that shit all the time

Many critical treatments and medicines are developed in the US. Congress could pass protectionist trade laws requiring that the poorest uninsured American can't be charged a penny more than whatever artificially low negotiated costs are paid by foreign countries systems like the Canadians or the British NHS.

Its possible that other countries could retaliate with cost controls for their own domestically developed drugs but it feels like this is an area where the US can and should have leverage.

I agree with your suggestions

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

I can't disagree with the PBM part, if it's actually done.

I'd appreciate a non-biased source for the claims about Europe.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

So instead of going to after the middle men or anyone involved he wants to make Europe pay more?

So Europe answer is obvious. Your Patents don't apply here.

There is a 0% chance of that happening. Trump has clearly chosen class warfare over Bannonite populism.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Trump has clearly chosen class warfare

Says Lemmy. The average Lemmy user makes way more than the average American, and you all talk about class warfare?! lololololol

How'd that work out for ya in the election?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The average Lemmy user makes way more than the average American, and you all talk about class warfare?! lololololol

Would you source that for me? I honestly don't know. Bannon has plenty of money, though.

You don't think a bunch of fucking tech nerds who overwhelmingly work in the tech industry make more than the average American?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not a tech nerd. We've had a lot of redditors join and they weren't either. They left reddit because of the technocrats.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

So you don't think the majority of Lemmy are tech people?! Come on, man. I get that you don't like Trump. I get that you hate Trump news.

But brah, be real. You don't have to disagree with everything I say just because I posted an article about Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't hate Trump. I dislike his policies. Maybe it is mostly tech nerds. Maybe it isn't. I pointed to at least two very large influxes of users. I'm not putting words in your mouth. I would appreciate it if you didn't do that to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe it isn’t.

Go look around, then come back and tell me what you think. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I've been here since the first Reddit exodus. Could be we're in different spaces. Like the old Zen story about the blind men encountering an elephant. One grabbed the trunk and declared it a snake, another the tail and declared it a rope, the third touched the leg and asserted it was some sort of tree. That can actually apply to politics, now that I mention it. The ruling class will never let regular people see their agenda in full honesty, willingly. Yes, both sides.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's been doing the opposite so far. This propoganda site won't mention that though

[–] [email protected] -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If you feel it's propoganda, feel free not to read it. thx

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Has nothing to do with my feelings. That rag is well known for spreading lies. It's weird that you get mad that your little fantasies get called out for what they are.

You're over here all : "Lie to me more daddy".

Pathetic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

It’s weird that you get mad that your little fantasies get called out for what they are.

I'm not mad at all. You do realize that I didn't write the article, right?

Pathetic

Well the majority fo voter disagreed with you and now he's our president. How's that feel?

Hey how did calling is supporters "pathetic" work out for you in the election?

I fucking laughed and laughed and laughed on election day. How'd you do?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

President Trump understands

That would be a first...

It does lack credibility. I read it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I read it anyway.

So that's all on you. Can't blame me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't cast blame. I read it to see if there were viable points. There was one. I understand your defensiveness, and want to work together to make a better nation. That requires honest and self-reflective dialogue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I understand your defensiveness

I'm not defensive. I didn't write the article. I merely posted a link to it. Up to you if you read it or not. Not my problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Shouldn’t it be Governor Trump? Musk is in charge after all

[–] [email protected] 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I like them both, so I'm fine either way!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Can you tell me why, please? I imagine we're on the same side, but see causes and solutions differently. I could be wrong. I just want everything good for everyone and think the United States has enough for everyone to enjoy a basic standard of living.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I like their attitudes. Also I don't take politics seriously and the reality is Dems and Republicans are the exact same thing. Both suck. One is more fun to watch than the other.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I like that they say the quiet part out loud rather than hiding their hands after throwing the grenade. I had a feeling we had common ground.

Did you vote R? I didn't. And I didn't vote D. I voted 3rd.

So, is he going to free Luigi? He'll cut the middlemen.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Luigi is a low-life criminal who will spend the rest of his life in prison. Deservedly so.
