Members DRW50 Posted January 14, 2018 Members Share Posted January 14, 2018 Emily Thornberry (Labour shadow...something)'s description of Trump is probably about the best I've seen. "an asteroid of awfulness that has fallen on this world" https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/labour-accuses-theresa-may-of-humiliating-queen-with-donald-trump-state-visit-a3739591.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 14, 2018 Members Share Posted January 14, 2018 I posted about this days ago, but this is a followup to the news that a federal judge ruled against Trump's halting of DACA renewal applications. The government has now started accepting applications for renewals again!

Members DRW50 Posted January 15, 2018 Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Why did they decide to tie the article to the tax bill when Pfizer likely would have ended research no matter what? It trampled over the powerful story that followed. The article is a mess as a result and takes away from what really could have written itself.

Members Juliajms Posted January 15, 2018 Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 That's what I was wondering. I'm sure for different reasons though. To me it sounds like they were spending billions and not making much progress. Not sure why any private company would keep going down that rabbit hole. We can hope other companies have more promising research. Really the government should be funding way more research in all areas, but with Republicans in charge I won't hold my breadth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2018 Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 Frankly, I've never held much faith in "Big Pharma." They can come up with a little blue pill that will help an old fart sustain a woody in his pants, but they can't find a cure for AIDS, for cancer, for diabetes, and for a million other chronic, life-shortening diseases that are out there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 15, 2018 Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have a lot of problems with big pharma, but this isn't one of them. Increasing blood flow to extremities is pretty straight forward compared to curing complex diseases. I'm amazed researchers came up with treatments for AIDS as quickly as they did. Remember we can't even cure the common could because of mutations. Cancer is a bitch and it won't surprise me if we need AI to eradicate it. Still, there are many treatments for both cancer and diabetes that didn't exist a few years ago and people are living longer with these diseases. My issue is more the pricing of drugs. I'm sure we all remember some of the more outrageous cases we've seen of them robbing people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted January 16, 2018 Members Share Posted January 16, 2018 Big Pharma should have to sell their drugs in this country for the same price as countries with universal healthcare. Absolutely NO politician will take this on. Trump made a big deal of it during the campaign and then just did a hand holding meeting with them for the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 16, 2018 Members Share Posted January 16, 2018 One of the headlines for this article is MLK III attacks Trump. Please register in order to view this content Meanwhile he says "We need to work on this man's heart". I cannot think of a more generous perspective. One that is entirely unearned. https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-apos-am-not-021030789.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
