Horrible. A family member of mine needs a medication called Tolvaptan according to their doctor to prevent kidney failure due to a genetic disease.
From drugs.com: “The cost for tolvaptan (15 mg oral tablet) is approximately $4,482 for a supply of 10 tablets, while the brand Jynarque can cost around $21,238 for a supply of 56 tablets, depending on the pharmacy. Prices may vary based on factors like location and insurance coverage.”
15mg is the lowest dose of this medication too. Often the dose is 30mg or 45mg, up to 60mg max.
When will we start holding these people accountable? It is easy to say “corporations are bad” and then sit on your hands. It’s different to start calling out the people who ultimately make the corporations evil.
We have whole classes of people comfortable fucking people over – sometimes with deadly consequences.
Unchecked capitalism is really something, huh?
This shit is straight up evil, will the company be held accountable for their crimes? This is what our justice system is for. Based on what we know so far, more crimes would be bound to come out in an investigation.
Even if they’re held to account there just gonna Texas two step and declare bankruptcy.
And then spin up another subsidiary and start over,
I wish it wasn’t the case. "Corporations are people too should go both ways… Death penalty if you do evil enough crimes.
I will believe that, “corporations are people,” the moment that Texas executes one.
All (East) Texas ever does is give them payouts for asinine and obvious patents.
This should absolutely happen. And it’s not just because corporations bad. It’s because it would fix the process of risk analysis and decision making.
It’s one thing to have an accident or run into unintended consequences of business decisions. Maybe some of those could carry the death penalty in extreme cases of negligence, but probably not the vast majority.
But if the company spent decades lying and conspiring in order to make some money while destroying lives and killing people left and right? The government should seize all shares of the company (yes even the ones in our 401ks) overnight and detain the officers and directors of the company for the criminal investigation.
UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson
Not quite correct sort of. This is OptumRx, which is owned by United Health Group, which also owns United Health Care, which Brian Thompson was nominally the CEO of. In other words, this is like the sibling of the company Brian Thompson ran.
To be clear, Brian Thmpson wasn’t a billionaire, he was a mid-level at best millionaire worth only $41 million. He was just another star-bellied prole who thought he was in the aristocracy.
Point being, the whole thing is stupid. The health care system, the people getting rich off it, Luigi’s reaction to it, our reactions to it, the media’s reporting on it, all of it.
What part about our reaction, or Luigi’s, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?
Justifiable anger can be stupid and usually is.
What is “1k%?”
1000%
Why are people struggling with this so hard?
Because it’s a stupid, non standard way to say it. I understood it fine but I still thought it was a needless abbreviation.
Please don’t violate LW’s ToS. Be aware of what you’re posting publicly. This is not a bar with your friends. This is the internet where things are recorded forever and can possibly link back to you/us with consequences. It’s not that hard to express yourself without breaking the rules.
What did they do that broke ToS? It looks like the post may have been edited
Nothing yet. I’m just hoping people think a little before they do things to get banned/removed. The rules are for everyone’s benefit.
This is a post that will rightfully make people angry.
EvErYoNe’s BeNeFiT
Yeah, it turns out threats of terrorism can look bad for you if they’re ever uncovered.
Serinus is correct. They are rules to the benefit of everyone who wishes Lemmy.world to stay up which, since you’re here, presumably includes you.
The server is in The Netherlands. The Netherlands does not have freedom of speech. Calling for violence is illegal there.
If mods left calls for violence up all the time, there’s a good chance Lemmy.world could get shut down. Considering how much you participate here, I’m guessing you would not care for that.
Edit: Always love it when this explanation gets downvotes but the downvoters don’t actually chime in and say that yeah, they’d be fine if Lemmy.world gets shut down as long as they get to say what they want, when they want, wherever they want. Maybe if you just admitted it instead of getting pissed off at someone pointing out that speech can have negative consequences…

Why, when you understand the meaning with a simple downvote?
Don’t call a place .world and then host it somewhere with pathetic laws regarding the main topic of the website: speech. Well, unless you want everyone else to rightfully call out the stupidity and patheticness of such a move
There’s your reply

Because it’s cowardly.

Feddit.co.uk is in the UK where they don’t have free speech laws. Should it be shut down too? Should all servers be in the U.S. where free speech has a constitutional guarantee? Oh wait, you have no guarantee there either because it’s not a government-run server.
I would also point out that there are lots of other Lemmy servers you can go to. No one is forcing you to use this one. That’s the beauty of the federation system. I’m guessing you won’t like a lot of the others that automatically censor speech like lemmy.ml either.
If you want a place where you can say whatever you want and no one will do anything about it, 4Chan and Gab are there for you.
