Cohen would “take a bullet” for Donald Trump turned out to be fake news.
Michael Cohen, the longtime personal attorney to President Trump, seemed to distance himself from the president in an extensive new interview – repeatedly saying his family has his “first loyalty” and parting with Trump on criticism of the FBI.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Another Horror story from the Health System in the land of the free:
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/29/h...ltz/index.html
A 97000% price increase between the years 2000 and 2018, for an important Epilepsy medication (Acthar).
This drug, invented in 1930, went from 40$ per vial in 2000 to 39000 $ per vial in 2018
I am always surprised how there are still people who defend this system
The reason for this steep rise in prices is, btw. the thing that many conservative americans always mention as big advantage of their health system compared to "socialist" health systems: Unregulated Capitalism
A Drugmaker (Questcor) actively bought out all competitors that sold the drug for cheaper prices, in order to be able to dictate the price alone.
That made the price rise to 32000 in 2014. In 2014 the company was bought out by another competitor, Mallinckrodth, which increased the price by another 7000 $ in the 4 years that followedLast edited by Proteus_MST; July 2, 2018, 12:00.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

How do you think drug company doctors make $300,000+/year and drug company execs make $1,000,000+/year?
Politicians are paid to defend this. First in campaign donations, and then as high paid lobbyists. Fox is paid to put out propaganda claiming the US system is the best (true only for the rich) and voters like Kid lap it up.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

How do you think dug company doctors make $300,000+/yr and drug company execs make $1,000,000+/yr? The politicians are paid to set up and defend this system. First with campaign donations, and then with big lobbying contracts. Then, "news" organizations like Fox are paid to put out propaganda that the US health system is the best (and it is for the rich). Finally, voters like Kidiot lap it up and vote like they are told to.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent.

After all, the Company (i.e. Questcor) legally bought out all competitors in order to prevent cheaper synthertic Acthar to be sold to the market
and then legally used its monopoly to dictate the prices

It would be easier for me to answer, if you would refer to a specific case

Tucker Carlson: Do not listen to any other news source besides Fox.
Hannity: Go ahead, bring me proof. I won't believe you.
Kidicious: Thank you sir, may I have another (while assuming the position).“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent.
