Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.

You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

Ex-hedge funder buys rights to AIDS drug and raises price from $13.50 to $750 per pill
A former hedge fund manager turned pharmaceutical businessman has purchased the rights to a 62-year-old drug used for treating life-threatening parasitic infections and raised the price overnight from $13.50 per tablet to $750.
According to the New York Times, Martin Shkreli, 32, the founder and chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, purchased the rights to Daraprim for $55 million on the same day that Turing announced it had raised $90 million from Shkreli and other investors in its first round of financing.
Daraprim is used for treating toxoplasmosis — an opportunistic parasitic infection that can cause serious or even life-threatening problems in babies and for people with compromised immune systems like AIDS patients and certain cancer patients — that sold for slightly over $1 a tablet several years ago. Prices have increased as the rights to the drug have been passed from one pharmaceutical company to the next, but nothing like the almost 5,500 percent increase since Shkreli acquired it.
This is absolutely monstrous. He’s like a parody of a capitalist from a Marxist propaganda film. Jesus H. Christ what a piece of trash.
Spread his face around. Don’t let him be anonymous. Let everyone know his name and what he looks like so that he’ll never, ever be able to go about in public again without being utterly terrified.
dear god
kill him
did he seriously name his pharm corp after a man who was murdered for being a homosexual, then render an important AIDS treatment unaffordable?

Why are we here on this Earth? If we can’t answer that with conviction, we’re missing the sacred purpose of our existence.

The ultimate upgrade ???
can we just look at the design differences of these for a sec? trump is in your face and glaring and bernie’s body language is open and inviting and he’s smiling. right off the bat that shows you each of these canadite’s intentions and method of leadership. i mean the fact that i called him “bernie” instead of “sanders” says a lot about him and how he’s running his campaign. he’s keep everything authentic, and he abhors super PACs stating that he only wants to run a grassroots campaign funded by the people. people may say that bernie lacks true power/sway/seriousness as he’s seen in small town hall meetings and refuses to be bought out by billionaires, but i strongly believe that a great leader is one who earns respect – not demands it
