  • Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.

    They’re a “non-profit,” but their CEO makes millions of dollars per year. I’d say that’s a profit.

    Believing otherwise is just falling for rhetoric that exists to take advantage of our naivete so people richer than us can be even richer.

    Many of you will disagree with this (because you’re greedy consumerists), but their employees also typically don’t need to be paid nearly as much as they are. Their employees are also working to maximize profit, albeit from a different, less-effective angle.

    Money brings out the worst in people. I don’t really value the input of people going to bat for the businessmen taking their money. Too often I see useful idiots proud to be ripped off and getting angry whenever someone points it out. It’s really the norm at this point, which is sad.

    Useful idiots have been convinced that the pill wouldn’t even exist unless these scumbags could maximize profit off of it in this manner.

    It’s why most dumbasses think copyright and patent laws are beneficial for them, not their rulers.

    Hey, news flash idiots. If copyright and patents laws benefited the working class, we’d see the ruling class fighting tooth and nail to remove them. Instead, they fight tooth and nail to protect them.

    I don’t expect most people reading this to agree with me, and it’s another reason why I think most people are useful idiots. If you’re stupid enough to believe that life saving drugs wouldn’t get made if someone couldn’t own the patent for it, then you are a moron going to bat for their oppressors.
