Goldman and Sachs literally fucking asked aloud if curing patients is a good business model.

Fuck this shit I want out of here

Holy fuck. Was this in a hearing? Sounds like it needs to be spread

Rich people are fucking monsters holy hell

In case you were wondering why we fucking hate capitalism.

Are the analysts really getting paid for that? Like… Can I please be paid for just stating the most obvious?

It’s almost like they forget that they can create new products. Cure hepatitis c? Go make and sell a cure for another disease. It’s not rocket science lol

this made me mad enough to make an actual political cartoon ugh hold on

I actually worked at a Pharma company for a year. The diseases we were focused on?

Asthma

Hayfever

Rheumatoid Arthritis

COPD

Notice that these are all diseases with no possible cure (they aren’t caused by an infective agent and can only be “managed”). These are diseases where people need treatment for the rest of their lives once diagnosed. This Pharma company’s trillion dollar innovation? An indigestion remedy.

Under capitalism, there’s no incentive to make a one-time cure for any disease - Gilead no doubt knew this and did it anyway. Kudos to them.
