What would you do if the price of your everyday prescription rose 5,500%? That’s exactly what happened to Daraprim (pyrimethamine), a drug originally developed over 60 years ago, that helps immunocompromised HIV and cancer patients. After Martin Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager, acquired the drug for his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, he raised the price by 55 times overnight. Shockingly, this type of gouging is fairly common.

My musings, thoughts, ideas and obsessions.
I am a nobody from North Carolina.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
