"Breaking News: If there's one group of people we can all agree on to give us the unvarnished truth, it's the folks Donald Trump personally fired! I mean, nothing says 'trustworthy' like someone who was dismissed from a job for not going along with the program, right? These brave souls, who now definitely don't have any axes to grind, are the true keepers of honesty and integrity. After all, who better to tell us how things really went down than those who got the boot? Because nothing motivates transparency like a pink slip from Trump Tower!

They’re not just spilling the beans; they’re cashing in on them too! After getting the pink slip, these former employees are generously compensated by the DNC with book deals and cushy gigs as MSM contributors. Because nothing screams 'honesty' like a hefty advance and a seat at the media table! Watch as these ex-staffers—now beloved by the left—enlighten us with their 'unbiased' revelations, proving once and for all that a firing is the best endorsement for credibility.

Stephanie Grisham was not fired by Trump you jackass. She resigned her position as Chief of Staff to Melania on January 6th appalled at what Trump had done and not done that day. She was working for Melania for most of her time in the White House, but had multiple roles throughout the Trump campaign and presidency.

As usual, you don’t have a clue.

Did you know that Trump tried to cap insulin prices, the democrats shot it down and then when he was out of office they capped insulin prices and acted like it was their ideal?

"Shocking Revelation: Speakers at the DNC say bad things about Trump! Who could have seen that coming? 😲 I mean, here I was expecting nothing but praise and glowing reviews from a convention dedicated to his opposition! Truly a plot twist for the ages—what’s next, Republicans criticizing the Biden administration? The audacity! 😂 #Unbelievable #TotallyUnexpected"

Why are you writing this dopey shit on the internet? You can't believe you have an actual point. If Trump has a blow up with every person he meets or works with, Trump is probably the problem. If he were the manager of a company, he'd be removed from that position. End of story. But, if you want, the fact that they're all saying the same things about him probably means its true. Either that or he has an extraordinary power for hiring prima donnas.

Grown man.

*Dunno how that got in the other thread, apologies to whoever that was.

I can't fathom what problem anyone could have with capped insulin prices in America where pharmaceutical companies are clearly price gouging. That's not competitive pricing. That's dying and desperate individuals being taken advantage of.

I see you have a whole retard thread about the price fixing stuff. I think it's a tricky issue anywhere else but insulin prices. Companies get too big to compete with then they can set prices as they like. That's obvious. We're getting rode. But who knows what the fix for it is besides abandoning capitalism altogether. But where people are straight up dying tomorrow because rich people are being greedy bastards, I think you can get away with some price fixing without toppling capitalism.

according to your vox article: 

The government facilitates patent abuse in the insulin market by allowing pharmaceutical companies to extend their monopolies through a practice called "evergreening." This involves making minor modifications to existing insulin formulas and then obtaining new patents, which effectively blocks competitors from producing generic versions. The FDA's regulatory process, which is stringent and slow, further complicates the entry of generic alternatives. As a result, these practices limit competition, keeping insulin prices high and preventing more affordable options from reaching the market.

Sounds like a fuckton of deregulation is required to break up these monopolies that wouldn't exist without these criminal government patent regulations.

That doesn't sound like so much deregulation unless you want to throw out IP altogether. Either way it's rich bastards gaming a system. Capping the price of insulin is utterly inconsequential.

It's entirely possible competitors would offer insulin cheaper than a government set price cap if the monopolies were broken up. We won't know until the government stops subsidizing monopolies with anti-competition regulations. With a government-set price cap, one of 2 things will happen...the price cap is too high meaning people are still getting shafted...just a little less...or the price cap is too low meaning there will be some shortages and wait lists in the future.

So what's the problem with the price cap in the meantime? Then go ahead with your deregulation to your heart's content. Literally zero problem. 10x immediate reduction in price for life saving medication for dying people.

Sure. But price caps without fixing the underlying problem is just passing the buck along. And it's unlikely the monopolies will get busted up when the government can take a victory lap. I don't want price caps if it means the monopolies get to remain. It's slapping a bandaid on a problem government created in the first place. Something that really rubs me the wrong way. Sure, people get insulin for now. But next year we will be back here with the same problem with the same monopolies but just a different drug. I'm tired of playing the appeasement shell-game with these monopolies while they dangle false hopes. Burn them to the ground and fix all the problems.

Dopey response. You can't just say yeah price capping for insulin is fine. Because you're some big weirdo who likes to write dumb shit

Sorry, but I refuse to play the status quo game where Monopolies get to take a victory lap by fixing a problem they caused.

Negotiating with terrorists is a choice I won't make knowing how much harm will come out of it in the future.

You frame this as a matter of trust out of projection. Clearly you don't understand how Occam's razor works and therefore don't recognize when others apply it, so instead you can only explain it to yourself as cultish blindness.

Donald Trump isn't the first president to fire people in his administration, he is however the only president who has had the majority of his own employees tell us he is unfit to serve. And the reasons they give us for his unfitness corroborate what we see from him everyday, so all they're confirming is that our eyes and ears work. Accepting their word as an accurate portrayal of the reality isn't mindlessness, it's the only rational response.

Stop putting words in my mouth. You already said many times you hate Biden and your loyalty to your party isn't absolute.

 he is however the only president who has had the majority of his own employees tell us he is unfit to serve.
That typically happens when the opposition party invests millions paying them off with book deals and MSM shows.

Cassidy Hutchinson has received compensation through a book deal for her memoir "Enough", published in September 2023, as well as from media appearances. While the exact figures are not publicly disclosed, such deals can be lucrative, sometimes in the millions, especially given her high-profile status following her testimony during the January 6th hearings.

That’s not true. Trump had a plan to cap the cost for very few insulin users. 

The Inflation Reduction Act, which Congress passed and Biden signed into law in August 2022, included an insulin provision that went further than Trump’s voluntary initiative. The act did cap out-of-pocket costs of insulin for Medicare patients at $35 per month. But whereas the Trump program applied only to certain Medicare Part D plans, the act mandated that all Medicare drug programs cap out-of-pocket insulin costs — including those in what’s known as Medicare Part B, which pays for medical equipment such as insulin pumps. The act’s insulin provisions took effect Jan. 1, 2023, for Part D plans and July 1 of that year for Part B.


Why are MAGA MORONS unable to apply critical thinking skills?

Why not approve it for those patients and expand outward. Why have those patients die of not getting cheap enough insulin instead of approving it and then working out how to get this benefit for others?

Let me guess. It is because Trump's wife is Slavic or some other retard shit because you aren't able to actually formulate arguments

Thanks to government it's basically impossible to start a pharmaceutical company.

Insulin is not patented, apparently it's not even that hard to make. The only reason it would possibly be overpriced is that the government is stealing money to pay for it (oh wait that's exactly what is happening) while simultaneously making it impossible for for competition to emerge (oh wait that's exactly what is happening).

So after the government screwed us royally what's the problem with capping the prices of their subverted industry? Well duh it's still impossible to start an insulin production facility which means the price will forever be a negotiation between the federal government and imbeciles in charge of the pharmaceutical oligopoly. I wonder how that will work out, I don't expect there would be any corruption or money laundering there.

This is why we do NOT negotiate with terrorists.

Capping insulin prices didn't significantly hurt pharmaceutical companies because the government and insurance companies absorbed the cost difference and passed it onto others without competition. In many cases, the large pharmaceutical companies still receive their full payment through government subsidies (tax revenues) or insurance reimbursements (costs passed down to consumer anyway), while patients benefit from the capped out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, the caps may apply only to certain segments of the market, such as Medicare patients, leaving other pricing structures intact or free for price increases. This collusion with the government and the pharma lobby helps keep company revenues stable while providing minimal relief to consumers.
I remember Joe Biden went out on a stump and screamed with his fist in the air "WE BEAT PHARMA THIS YEAR"
Many Medicare drugs actually went up in prices as insulin went down.
Big Pharma still has all the patent regulations intact and can freely jack up the prices and pass on the costs thanks to all talk and no action.

What a clown show.
