Not sure why clowns on CE are blaming the free market or trying to shield the government.

There is no free market here. It's extremely hard for new companies to enter this space. That's why these pharmaceuticals are basically monopolies. They can raise their prices this much because there are few or no alternatives.

Reduce the governmental red tape and bureaucracy so that competition can enter the market and reduce prices.

I too desire a lack of patents.

In a lot of these cases, like the one in the OP, the patent has expired, but there aren't enough companies making the drug. So the one that makes most of it can just raise prices whenever they feel like it.

First of all, the hell is a car length? Smart cars are like ten feet long and limos are like 40. Are we talking a Fiat or a Buick?


I mean, I don't think many people can estimate precise car lengths anyway. It just means keep about 8 feet back for every 10 mph. It's easier for people to use objects instead of measurement.

DevsBro posted...
Second of all, who can estimate these things with any kind of accuracy? Suppose one car length is 20 feet. That's 100 feet at 50MPH. Go ask 100 people how far it is to the car ahead of you and you'll get everywhere from 30 feet to 200.


I never really had a hard time with this. Maybe my spatial awareness is decent? I can easily imagine cars lined up.

DevsBro posted...
Thirdly, literally doing math while driving splits your concentration.

Fourthy, is it 1 car length per 10mph, or 2 car lengths per 15mph, or... uh...

Fifthly, the three seconds rule is the exact same thing, but simpler, easier to measure and easier to remember. Suppose you need to follow by x distance per y speed. Divide x by y and wht do you have left? You got it, a following time.


I think you're overcomplicating it. If you are driving 75 mph, just stay about 7 or 8 car lengths back.


7 or 8 car lengths, lol. you'd never even be able to get on or off the highway around here with how much traffic there would be

It is pretty easily actually. You go in where there's space and then create room in front of you.

GiftedACIII posted...

No, your brain does. So you're saying if suddenly you were thrust into an opposite society where all gender roles were reversed you suddenly become a girl? I guess tomboys and lesbians are actually men then even when they themselves identify as women. Your logic is even more preposterous than people saying they're multi-gender and switch between them intermittently.

In such a society I would still be considered a male. A perfectly opposite set of gender roles would result in the same gendering as we use, the difference would be in what is considered the norm.

Not sure what you are trying to say with the tomboy and lesbian part. Our society does consider them to be female, so reality is consistent with my logic here.

To make the culture change actually interesting you would need the two to have different numbers of genders. Like say a person from a non-gendered society being placed in one like ours.

Genetics do not determine gender. Culture does. What you are saying is entirely true for our culture, but it isn't an absolute truth. People cannot just choose to invent new genders however, for one to be valid, it must be seen as something distinct by society as a whole.
