@PopCrave Illiterate people used to sign their name with just an X. I'm not sure if this is about Elon, or of his opinion of us.
TBF if I was so rich I could house the homeless, burn half of what's left, and still live like a god for the rest of my life, I'd be fucked in the head too.
I want to be very clear that no one is SUGGESTING that people will die because Johnson & Johnson is trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.
Instead, people are STATING THE FACT that people will die because of Johnson & Johnson trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquiline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.
10M diagnosed per year. 1.5M die per year.
660k over 20 years is 33k average per year.
33k of 10M is 0.33% of all cases in one year.
Big numbers doesn't always mean big things, J&J #PatientsNotPatents
@JNJGlobalHealth @IFPMA This is... ironic. You can help combat the devastating effects of tuberculosis in humanity's most vulnerable by ending superfluous secondary patents on bedaquiline and allow for the production of affordable treatments. As should have occurred this week.
Today is the perfect day for @JNJGlobalHealth to abandon their unjust secondary patents on bedaquiline and help save millions of lives over the next few years. Humanity needs a Win. CC @JNJNews
@hankgreen I am late to this, but you're allowed to complain and be angry. This is bullshit. Nobody should have to do this. The way you are dealing with this publicly with humour and grace, and the way you have taken this opportunity to educate us is phenomenal. You still embody DFTBA.
The RBA's done it again! ๐คฏ
Remember: Excess profits are the main culprit driving inflation, accounting for 69% of inflation beyond the RBA's target. Without excess profits, inflation would be half as much as it was.
@GrogsGamut explains. #auspol
@hankgreen I think the objectively better version of the universe is the one without us in it. But I voted for the one with us because, without us, the universe can't be observed or knowable at all. Better to have lived and screwed it up than never to have lived at all etc.
@DB_Arnold @Hasbro@Wizards Our group plays entirely on Roll20 or (more usually_ Foundry VTT.
We're all moving to Pathfinder as soon as we finish Out of the Abyss.
Huge leak from an insider @Wizards
It's what we feared: the higher ups despise us, the D&D community, and see us only as an "obstacle to their money".
Subs on D&D Beyond are all WotC care about, so I've cancelled mine. Let your voice be heard #opendnd#StopTheSub
