    It’s pretty interesting to me that a Republican president is spending his honeymoon period dramatically raising taxes, but media doesn’t frame it that way.

      It’s almost like a regressive tax that will primarily hurt the lower classes is 100% aligned with the capitalist class’s interests and the media is spineless.

          You can do them by clicking on the little smiley face above the comment and searching for the one you’re looking for, or you can use colons : and then with no space type in what you’re looking for, a list of options should pop up (though it doesn’t sometimes) and you can select from that.

    me and my boys all take generics.

    but anyway, aren’t like all of the drugs manufactured not in the US anymore?

    its kinda hilarious that the foundational centerpiece of the TPP was to keep drug licensing and manufacturing infrastructure of SE Asia and India firmly under the economic control of the US, and here Trump is just giving them every reason to strategically reorient toward China/Belt & Road integration.

    once again, JDPONDON strikes deep into the heart of american empire.

      There are plenty of brand name drugs that are extremely useful and common. Eliquis, Xarelto, Jardiance, Januvia, all of the GLP-1s. That’s just off the top of my head. This has the potential to explode drug prices for seniors, diabetics, people at risk for strokes and heart attacks, etc.

      I do not think brand name drugs should even exist but that is the reality of it.

              First sentence of the article:

              The U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on “all any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product” entering the country from Oct. 1.

                Ah the sentence about generic drugs becoming unprofitable or going bust confused me

                She added that there are “a lot of generic drugs specifically that could potentially have to make decisions between being unprofitable and pulling from the market entirely.”

      nah the whole animating idea behind trump II’s domestic policy is eugenics so this fits in perfectly with that. he knows that as long as he keeps demonizing immigrants and brown people on the other side of the world, his base are too racist and stupid to ever stop supporting him, no matter how much damage he does directly to them and their living conditions

    Wow I’m sure this will help medical costs and will in no way just be used as an excuse for pharmaceutical companies to charge even more.

    It’s definitely not gonna do what all of the other tariffs have done and just make things more expensive while companies choose to keep their existing supply chains and networks.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance).
