"The corrupt PhRMA deal, the insurance company giveaways, their exemption from anti-trust laws -- people understand what's going on, and Democrats across the country are paying a price for it. You'd have to be in serious denial to pretend anything else."

First-generation Apple products are for suckers. Only lemmings with no self-control and excessive disposable income buy first generation Apple products, especially in a new gadget category. When they do, they pay the double the price for immature hardware and software.

If you are going to be paying for wind, electric and solar energy equivalents that cost five or 10 times more than it costs to use oil, you are going to price yourself out of the market. You are going to lose whatever competitiveness you have in your products.

Through fraud, fakery and debauchery the capitalists around the globe have stolen huge amounts of money by exploiting workers and by charging over-inflated prices for products that are worth far less. Now they insist the workers pay.
