[Hedge Fund Manager Buys Rights To Critical Drug, Hikes Price By 5000%]there was a good reason we had...
....domestic covert ops. Time to bring 'em back too.
This guy deserves to have all the furies of hell unleashed on him until he breaks.

The Free Market at work. Isn't that what you right wingers are always saying we need more of? Now that someone has done something despicable with it, you despise him?
I agree with niv - pure hypocrisy.
Although perhaps deeply immoral, as long as it is legal, he is doing exactly what he was raised/taught to do; maximize profits. If you don't like it, do something about capitalism.
Nothing wronf with setting Martin Shkreli on fire.
Well, unless you don't have chocolate for your S'mores.
The asshole was on the news last night saying that this is how medicine in America works so suck it up.
The drug in question is also used by cancer patients.
He needs to wake up on fire.
I have to second Goomy. Shkreli deserves whatever he gets, as long as it involves fire or corkscrews.
If someone else brings the chocolate, I'll bring the marshmallows. Smores!
Why is this on FSTDTs. This is pretty much what every decent human being has been saying. Everybody hates that smirking little twerp. They all want someone to "take him out"!
Is it the "Bring back Domestic Covert Ops?"
And how do we non-government average shmoes KNOW they STOPPED using Covert Domestic Ops *Twilight Zone theme plays*?
I did the math for a year (using 30 day months)...
75- x 30 = 22,500
22,500 x 12 = 270,000
It would be at this point two things will happen.
A. Insurances and subsidies will stop paying for the drug because of costs
B. People will quit taking the drug because of costs.
When people quit buying your product, you loose money instead of making it. I saw yesterday where Shkreli decided to drop the price of the pill. I guess he figured out he won't make a damned dime if people don't buy his product.
Yeah, because the best way to deal with someone who's doing something immoral but legal is to murder them. What a reasonable and sound assumption!
He does deserve this. Whether or not it OUGHT to be done by the authorities is another story entirely. But it's the same with mass murderers deserving to be flayed alive or drowned in shit, which let's face it, they do.
As for the furies of Hell? Hey, it's only until he breaks. Not for eternity, which is what actual fundies want.
A quick look at Shkreli's life paints the picture of a born conman that is genuinely confused at the very concept of ethics.
This right here is exactly why the world looks at America in slack-jawed disbelief every time pride is expressed in their profit-centric approach to medicine and it isn't at all uncommon. For once the thumpers are preaching fire and brimstone at someone who deserves it.
... The stuff about domestic covert ops AKA secret police? No. Really not acceptable.
What this cartoon villain did should not be legal. The first time someone dies because they cannot afford his drug (or ANY drug.) he should be tried for capital murder. IF robbery is an aggravating factor in other murder cases, it should be for red color criminals as well. I realize this is a fantasy in the USA, but what he did should not be legal anywhere.
Under most circumstances, I'd submit this quote, but for this guy, it isn't fundie. This pathetic excuse for a human being should be tried for crimes against humanity.
I'll assume that this is not a erious threat, so a "meh" from me.
God, that guy is a gigantic prick.
The asshole deserves to pay for this, I agree. It has to be a legal punishment, though. Maybe this will see some much-need regulation put on this bullshit. It's already illegal to price gauge in a crisis and that's for the same reasons that people are tearing into this little monster. Why, then, is this legal?
Back in the '80's I was bemoaning the rise of far right economic and social politics. A near retired welder piped up in the group and said he was in favour of laissez-faire economics. The quicker it happened the better, he said.
Let the free marketers have what they want, a totally unregulated economy where profit was the only criterion. No minimum wage, no welfare of any sort etc. Some of us said what on Earth are you talking about, that would result in absolute chaos for all societies. He said yes it would, and after the people had risen in revolt, Humanity would be forever be innoculated against this ideology.
Unfortunately today I realise that if this were ever to happen, the upper echelons would employ their own armies to ensure the enslavement of 99.8% of the human race.
there was a good reason we had...
....domestic covert ops. Time to bring 'em back too.
What does this even mean? The CIA and the NSA were as much of an annoyance as they ever were a help to the people of the US. Look what they did to the anti-Vietnam protestors? I've heard stories about people active in that movement using the Freedom of Information Act to find out they have giant ass files on them.
That sort of shit should be kept to people like neo-Nazis, the craziest of Tea Partiers, and people who are quoted on FSTDT and actually deserve to be, unlike this guy.
@Thirddrop
Already happened in the 19th century and the rise of the Soviet Union. But hopefully we've learned from our mistakes the first time we overthrew capitalism to this time decisively overthrow it.
Hopefully Martin Shkreli and his ilk are lined up against the wall. I'm normally against capital punishment, but people like that need to be made an example of.
I...I actually find myself agreeing with this.
Shkreli deserves to be dragged naked and screaming through a forest fire by a herd of turtles with gas cans duct-taped to their feet. I actually think that, and I can't be bothered to give two fucks if that makes me a bad human being or not. I think he is an oxygen thief, and he should wake up in agonizing testicular pain. Because what he's done can and will kill people for a profit.
Fuck him and everyone who looks like him.
I wouldn't want to kill the guy, but if he died I'd probably be happy.
I'd be happiER if he got ruined and had to live with the consequences of his actions, though. But I would probably do the opposite of grieving if he died.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
