How does it benefit you to send a money to country that attacks your vessels, steals your secrets and sells them to china.

2020-02-13 19:43:46 UTC  

supposedly

2020-02-13 19:43:46 UTC  

And commits so many crimes against humanity

2020-02-13 19:44:00 UTC  

"supposedly" lol, so USS liberty wasn't attacked by israeli jets?

2020-02-13 19:44:07 UTC  

Khalid you mentioned Sanders lowering cost of medical care.

2020-02-13 19:44:13 UTC  

Yeah

2020-02-13 19:44:14 UTC  

This isn't inherently a good thing

2020-02-13 19:44:17 UTC  

It depends how it's done.

2020-02-13 19:44:30 UTC  

Meaning?

2020-02-13 19:44:33 UTC  

if it's done wrong companies may just pull out

2020-02-13 19:44:41 UTC  

Dude luke what are you talking about?

2020-02-13 19:44:42 UTC  

I.e price controls can create shortages

2020-02-13 19:44:44 UTC  

what companies?

2020-02-13 19:44:50 UTC  

they dont have ot sell their medical supplies in the us

2020-02-13 19:44:57 UTC  

They literally do though

2020-02-13 19:45:00 UTC  

But if you say increase the supply of doctors or a factor of production, this will reduce prices without shortages.

2020-02-13 19:45:03 UTC  

they dont though

2020-02-13 19:45:06 UTC  

Sanders wants price controls.

2020-02-13 19:45:22 UTC  

controlling price fucks the free market

2020-02-13 19:45:25 UTC  

Sanders wants precription drugs to be sold at a reasonable price

2020-02-13 19:45:31 UTC  

and guess what

2020-02-13 19:45:33 UTC  

Via price controls.

2020-02-13 19:45:41 UTC  

trump is pushing a bill through for that

2020-02-13 19:45:46 UTC  

The issue is he's not tackling the reason *why they're expensive in the first place*.

2020-02-13 19:45:59 UTC  

Trump is allowing imports from other countries, that will definitely help.

2020-02-13 19:46:01 UTC  

Drug producers and pharmacies can afford that

2020-02-13 19:46:16 UTC  

It's not about affording, it's about the fact their ROR decreases.

2020-02-13 19:46:27 UTC  

supplies

2020-02-13 19:46:28 UTC  

and demand

2020-02-13 19:46:30 UTC  

There's an incentive, lowering prices forcefully ends that.

2020-02-13 19:46:34 UTC  

the cheaper the more supply is taken

2020-02-13 19:46:46 UTC  

(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)

2020-02-13 19:46:49 UTC  

the more supply is taken the less there is for everyone who needs it

2020-02-13 19:46:51 UTC  

They will have to accept that

2020-02-13 19:47:00 UTC  

They will, but they'll cut drug production.

2020-02-13 19:47:10 UTC  

That means less access to drugs, which can prove fatal.

2020-02-13 19:47:11 UTC  

yea the fda is being forced to let generic prescription drugs through

2020-02-13 19:47:15 UTC  

creating competition

2020-02-13 19:47:16 UTC  

There will always be product as long as there is demand

2020-02-13 19:47:26 UTC  

no longer will large pharma lobby to not allow generics through

2020-02-13 19:47:36 UTC  

Nobody is denying that, just there is now a *disequilibirum*
