I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[rickyb]

depends where your at, I can't speak for Canada. Ohio where im at 4 grand would get you pretty far, in California i doubt it

absolutely

in 2/3 major canadian cities the middle class is dead.

one of the things i like about america is the language is the same, and you are free to choose from a ton of cities, although the country is relatively conservative across the board.

it can also suck too, as in the case of UPS

Agreed but UPS is still one of the few companies that offer a Pension plan...and a free benefit package? Not a bad gig.

yea absolutely it could be worse. the pay is decent although i am still trying to figure out how much they are profiting off of the workers.

That's any business though. No profit=no jobs.

yea im interested because im wondering if the workers are getting ripped off.

real wages adj for inflation havent risen since 1973 but productivity and corporate profits are at record highs.

PC's Access to Meds‏ @PCMedsAccess Apr 10




Last year #BigPharma got a windfall in tax breaks. Corporations could have passed their savings onto consumers -- they didn't. We need Congress to act to lower #DrugPrices. See @CoryBooker's report here: https://www.scribd.com/document/375935848/Pharma-Tax-Report-April-2018 …

SPOTTED: Best timed exit ever

 

[1989]

wrong city.

toronto has high rents and property. im not sure about vacancy rates. so im not really sure how you did that.

Why must you live in Toronto? Seattle prices have been high for 30 years. What do people do? They live in other places. Renton, kent, burien, Everett, etc.

Why engage with a Canuckistani?

it doesnt say that.

Here it is for you.

"Solution 1: Address large markets: Hemophilia is a $9-10bn WW market (hemophilia A, B), growing at ~6-7% annually."

"Solution 2: Address disorders with high incidence: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) affects the cells (neurons) in the spinal cord, impacting the ability to walk, eat, or breathe."

"Solution 3: Constant innovation and portfolio expansion: There are hundreds of inherited retinal diseases (genetics forms of blindness) … Pace of innovation will also play a role as future programs can offset the declining revenue trajectory of prior assets."

im sure it didnt say that, and anyways find cures to diseases only because its profitable is a terrible system.

i watched a PBS frontline documentary on superbugs and again big pharma didnt want to do it because it wasnt profitable enough, and the govt didnt step in ahead of time.

i love this stuff. the more capitalist chaos, the better.

Amidst chatter about a potential trade war between China & the US, most are ignoring the elephant in the room when it comes to the Chinese economy—China’s private debt bubble is the biggest in the history of capitalism.

Today is Tax Day.

The GOP tax law gave households making over $3 million an average tax cut of $190,000.

Households making under $12,000 got an average tax cut of $60.

Happy Tax Day!

Now that the standard deduction is $12,000 I don't think households making under $12,000 have too much to worry about. And those people getting the much bigger break pay the bulk of the taxes in the U.S.. They now have more to put back into the economy providing more jobs for the rest of us. #stoptheenvy!

Someone making $12,000 probably doesn't end up owing any tax. They may end up getting paid extra from tax credits.

30 percent of 3 million is going to be more then 30 percent of 12000
