    Oh my god, Trump wants to lower drug prices, so he’s doubling the price of medications available from literally nowhere else.

    Years ago, I worked at a hospital that hired an old psychiatrist who we quickly realized was prescribing Geodon to almost everyone. Schizophrenia? Geodon. Bipolar? Geodon. Depression? Geodon. Borderline personality disorder? Geodon. Well, he only last a few weeks before being relieved of duty, and turns out he was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

    This story is about Donald Trump and tariffs.

      Actually lowering prices would require regulation, and he’s built his entire corporate campaign on “we’re getting rid of every regulation”. Much easier to make them look lower in comparison.
