Maybe if other companies would manufacture it, there wouldn't be an issue. Drug patents only last 7 years.

Open the borders and remove all market restrictions, let the banks collapse and stop subsidizing corporations. When the dust settles economic natural selection will only have left the fit.
>>75822873
The problem is not capitalism. The patent on the drug that he raised the price on is expired. The formula is also in public circulation. FDA regulations make it so that if anyone wanted to compete they would have to sit through 3 to 6 years of approval. Once you get approved he can drop the price down to nothing and turn your investment into shit. The whole problem is the barrier to entry imposed by the FDA that protects his pricing.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, if there should be a purge for degenerate parasites it should be the corporate welfare leeches.
Extreme promotion of small business, startups and subsidiaries.
Taxation as seen as "progressive difficulty modifiers."
Replace low wage income tax with higher luxury tariffs and sumptuary laws.
Shift responsibility from graduates to universities to provide employment.
In general, aim for job vacancies over "healthy" unemployment aka rates under 3%.
Mild protectionism and nationalistic economies to promote local business.
Sorry, just fixing capitalism without any Marxism at all.
>>75824101
Thad not how economies work. And before you reference the Great Depression, that was a stock market crash, not a total economic crash.
A government enforced monopoly is a socialism problem.
>>75824187
What law of economics discourages trimming the fat? Labor is currently redirected from productive activities to bureacratic jobs created by unnecessary laws. Is your advice to alcoholics to keep drinking and avoid the withdrawals?
>>75822873
Technically that would be a good thing by helping fags and shitskins die faster as they cannot comprehend basic responsibility
>>75824444
No, but guess what, quitting alcohol cold turkey can kill you, just like pulling out of the stock system entirely.
>>75822873
There isn't a problem. If it is too expensive he won't be in business anymore. If there is no competition, you can chalk that up the the fact that the government interferes by giving money to certain companies to fund the drugs.
In a healthy market you simply can't just raise the price of a product by that margin and still have business. Something is wrong here.
>>75823253
Everyone in this thread is a damn retard. Skreli stated, in a reddit comment, that as a result of raising the price, he would another company would start making it, which would activate capitalist competition and lower the price of the drug.
>>75822873

I hope you get to live in a socialism one day.

The economy is currently undergoing a liver transplant while sneaking glugs of Listerine.
>>75822873
that's not a capitalism problem, it's an IP laws problem.
>>75822873
The drug doesn't do anything to HIV. It treats a very rare symptom of HIV that only affects a very small minrity of people.
Hearing "5000% price increase" sounds like a lot but every other treatment for rare diseases STILL costs more. Because this specific drug is something you take a small amount of for a short period of time and then boom you're done. It isn't like other rare disease treatments that last your whole life.
>>75824874
So who's at fault, the liver or the alcoholic?
Think very carefully.
>>75824736
>he would another company would start making it
>>75824729
Isnt it a copyright thing? Its very strict here for drugs.

>>75824953
The liver for not living.
The UCLA shootings were done to distract the media and the public from Dan "The Big Dick @ Nick" Schneider's exploits. News about him was finally trending over the weekend thanks to /pol/'s investigative work and leaking personal emails. Looks like he's powerful enough that Viacom stepped in to help shield him from the media. .
>>75825046
It's a patent, and the patent already expired.
>>75824979
he would encourage another company to start making it
>>75824953
Why are you excusing the alcohol?
>>75825109
Im not sure if thats better or worse. Whos gonna reign in thise FDA twats?
>>75825167
We're talking the failure, not the cause, at which point, which system is at fault for failing?
>>75823527
Pregnant women aren't more likely to get a toxoplasmosis infection than the general population, but should they get it for the first time while pregnant such that they do not yet have antibodies against it, it will be passed on to the fetus.
Lots of people have Toxoplasmosis. It doesn't do anything unless you are immunodeficient though.

>>75825251
Have you ever heard of treating the cause instead of the symptoms? The cause is bureaucratic nepotism that favors established businesses and handicaps competitors.

This wouldn't have been a problem if people didn't have HIV. The problem also fixed itself when everyone got mad at him.

There's a startup time for competitors. In the short term, before others begin to produce, you can make a tidy profit.
Also, this character is a small fry. Valeant has been using the same strategy for years, and has made billions. They've only fairly recently
been exposed.
And one more pharmaceutical trick: Drug producers were paying generic competitors not to produce. Which is effectively price-fixing. It is absolutely anti-competitive. I think Congress has finally gotten around to looking at this.
weaken patent and copy right law.
Competition when allowed to flourish, fixes all problems.

Martin Shkreli did nothing wrong.
>>75822873
If Shkreli is the best you can come up with to prove that capitalism is a problem, capitalism must be going damn well. With communism, you can pick out Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Enver Hoxha, the Kim Jong dynasty and etc.
>>75826289
productivity is not a goal of communism delete that

Get government sanctioned rent seekers and protected monopolies out of the way. If it didn't take 4 years and millions of dollars for the FDA to approve the manufacture of a 50 year old drug by a new company, this douchebag wouldn't be able to raise prices so drastically. The problem in this instance is that the market is *not* free.
>>75826183
Agreed The whole price fixing thing is a massive fucking problem with companies like that that have a long start up time and high upfront cost. I'ts one of the reason lolspergtarians can never have the perfect capitalist system. Unless everyone starts from the same point, people will make more money being paid NOT to become competition than to actually become competition. Monopolies are too easy to form without regulation. Government should be the shield of the people, wielded by the people. not what we have now.
I wasn't aware of this Valeant strategy. I do hope it is sorted out.
>There's a startup time for competitors. In the short term, before others begin to produce, you can make a tidy profit.
This is true, however capitalism has always had a shitty time starting up. At the beginning of the industrial revolution, pretty much everyone had a shity time. Once competition does start, however, ideally it will stay. The problem is the whole "ideally" part. Not everything is ideal.

Commies get the fuck out of /pol/
>>75822873
Lmao that's not even what the drug is for
I'm gonna be honest here, people with good judgement singular sexual partners aren't really affected.
As for pregnant women or cat owners that have toxoplasmosis, well cats are bad pets and a decision a cat owner made. Pregnant women and their families should have saved money for any complications life might throw their way before deciding to give birth.
This is capitalism, plain and simple.
I will say though, I personally don't agree with the ability to patent FDA approved drugs.
>>75827703

Fucking pig-faced bourgeois: they know that people will pay big bucks for products necessary survive.
>>75822873
Bah, prices for drugs for hundreds of millions went up 10% in 2015 and no one cared
The price of a drug for a hundred thousand or so goes up and people freak out.
If anything he just brought attention to drug prices and brought out competition as companies made generics

>Government FDA grants monopolies to pharma corps and requires everyone to buy insurance
That's socialism. There is no government participation in trade in capitalism.
>>75826427
When people say 'capitalism', what they're contrasting it against is really slightly-more regulated capitalism, not fucking communism. Very few people in the west these days actually want to abolish the free market, they just want to prevent abuses of the free market. Enough with the false dichotomy.
Old post, but I'm so sick of seeing this shit here.
>>75833704
>That's socialism.
no it isn't. faggot.
>>75834178
A truly free market can't be abused.
How do we fix American healthcare system you mean.
>>75828857
Me neither, it sounds exactly the same, too.
Do we have an equal one for Serbs?
>>75834244
Great talking points, newfriend, you really demolished his position
After his little stunt with Daraprim, a competitor released a basically identical alternative (same active ingredient pyrimethamine but also had something else in it to help counteract one of the side effects I think) for $1/pill. The original drug was like $12/pill.
Capitalism seems to be working just fine, not sure what problem you're complaining about.
The irony is Shkreli has done more to make prescriptions more affordable than 99% of the liberals whining about him.
>>75834390
>thinking that workers controlling the means of production is somehow the same as corporate monopolies and private insurance companies.
You get an expensive, degenerate disease that will eventually kill you. Oh well. Why is it this guys problem?
I also wouldn't donate an organ. And if I needed an organ I would understand why others wouldn't give me one.
That's life.
>>75834265
That's why before we started regulating the market in our country workers were getting their hands chopped off in the factories and there was rat shit in all the meat, right? Why monopolies were rampant? That's why the Chilean monetarist experiment was an abject failure until the government started taking a hand in managing the economy again in '82? That's why Russia's shock therapy transition to capitalism in the 90s failed absolutely disastrously? That's why all of the most successful economies in the world are regulated capitalist ones?
Communism is always a disaster. Pure laissez-faire capitalism isn't as bad a disaster as communism, but it's not great. Reasonably -- not excessively -- regulated capitalism is simply the best-performing economic system we've got.
>>75822873
Thats the free market in action.
Don't like it? Don't get sick lmao
REMINDER THAT DARAPRIM IS NOT EVEN RECOMMENDED TO TREAT AIDS/CANCER PATIENTS ANYMORE
