HAHA. Poor pharma bro.

I'd really like to smack that smug ass bitch (the expensive little shit CEO)

It's probably to distract the public from the fact that the price of drugs is completely arbitrary and utterly insane. All this guy did was get too greedy which did nothing but undermine the racket consequently throwing uneeded publicity onto the scam. It's like if you kidnap somone you have to least know how much your mark is able to pay.

The difference between capitalism and socialism/cronyism:

Capitalism: Greedy moron creates $1,000 pill, someone else uses the free market to create a $1 pill, $1k pill guy goes broke.

Socialism/cronyism: Greedy moron creates $1,000 pill, the government forces you to buy it
