.. Yes, I was born on a Friday..
« on: October 09, 2021, 01:47:51 AM »

  I was born on a Friday, but it wasn't LAST Friday !

  When I see that one of the big pharma companies are marking the new Covid pills up to the tune of 4,000 %, my "scam alarm" bell rings.

    https://www.westernjournal.com/pharma-company-behind-miracle-covid-pill-marking-price-4000/

     Is this not a form of extortion?  This information is available to our ekected governmental leaders, so why are they doing nothing?

  Is it even remotely possible that some of that 4,000 % ends up with some political figures?

Of course it does. That is part of big business and some smaller businesses. The old back room hand greasing...

I think we've done this before 
In this area, it's the pharmacies
that are doing the deep dipping 
If they retail one of my prescriptions
for $50.00 +, then discount it to
me for less than $10.00, then they're
ripping off everyone, plain and simple.
They're for sure not worried about
my financial well being or my ability
to shell out a pile of cash every month.
The television commercial with the
woman and her kids pricing the
prescription and the pharmacist tells
her $67.00 then changes the price to
like $9.00 tells me that they were ripping
the customers for all that extra if
they can cut the price so drastically
so quickly and easily
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

Yeah but we want it both ways don't we. Price based on what the traffic will bare, but don't make us pay more than we want. Hmmm...

Like when they charge $10.00 per aspirin tablet
at the hospital ?

       ...But if perchance people in our government are taking payoffs, wouldn't that be the same effectually, as if the "government" were setting prices ?

  ...But of course, we know no politician would take a payoff ! :o    ::)
