How does it benefit you to send a money to country that attacks your vessels, steals your secrets and sells them to china.
supposedly
And commits so many crimes against humanity
"supposedly" lol, so USS liberty wasn't attacked by israeli jets?
Khalid you mentioned Sanders lowering cost of medical care.
Yeah
This isn't inherently a good thing
It depends how it's done.
Meaning?
if it's done wrong companies may just pull out
Dude luke what are you talking about?
I.e price controls can create shortages
what companies?
they dont have ot sell their medical supplies in the us
They literally do though
But if you say increase the supply of doctors or a factor of production, this will reduce prices without shortages.
they dont though
Sanders wants price controls.
controlling price fucks the free market
Sanders wants precription drugs to be sold at a reasonable price
Via price controls.
trump is pushing a bill through for that
The issue is he's not tackling the reason *why they're expensive in the first place*.
Trump is allowing imports from other countries, that will definitely help.
Drug producers and pharmacies can afford that
It's not about affording, it's about the fact their ROR decreases.
supplies
and demand
There's an incentive, lowering prices forcefully ends that.
the cheaper the more supply is taken
(Trump is also also cutting red tape to increase FDA approval of generic drugs, it's shown it's effect on prices as of late)
the more supply is taken the less there is for everyone who needs it
They will have to accept that
They will, but they'll cut drug production.
That means less access to drugs, which can prove fatal.
yea the fda is being forced to let generic prescription drugs through
creating competition
There will always be product as long as there is demand
no longer will large pharma lobby to not allow generics through
Nobody is denying that, just there is now a *disequilibirum*
