[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you hear about the shortage of chemotherapy drugs right now? And how several Big Pharma companies have marked up prices as much as 650% on remaining stock? THAT is the type of thing Occupy Wall Street is protesting. Corporate greed at the expense of our neediest. There are many reasons people are protesting. They are not a monolithic group. But that's just one. [/quote] First of all, as the NBC Nightly news segment correctly pointed out, it is the "grey market" where these markups happen (the middle men, not the manufacturers). Also, these drug shortages are in generic drugs, not in brands. Finally, you clearly missed the "supply and demand" day in Econ 101. Well, you, and a whole bunch of wall street occupiers.[/quote] I understand how supply and demand works. That doesn't make it ethical. I don't begrudge anyone a fair profit, but profit is obscene when it costs people their lives. [/quote]
