I wonder why folks at FR, lovers of capitalism that we are, are not applauding this person’s business acumen in that he’s making one hell of a profit off this move. It’s the way of capitalism. If people need it, people will buy it, no matter the cost. And, if the seller makes a profit, all the better.
I know that many liberals have screamed for this guy’s head because this is an AIDS drug, and therefore (according the them) should NEVER have its price raised.
I myself am torn. Is the guy a genius for attempting to make a massive profit, or is he a scumbag extraordinaire for charging an exorbitant price for a necessary medicine?
Since when has monopoly been a hallmark of capitalism?
He’s a Hillary Clinton /John Kerry / Mitch McConnell donor who’s just been indicted...
