        You know the joke. You don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than your wife.

              May Heather Bresch burn in hell.

              Here's the pricing explanation.
              When Bresch talked about drug prices and access existing “in a balance,” she was referring to what the pharmaceutical industry calls value-based pricing.

              This is what you get when you price a drug not just commensurate with its research and development, production and marketing, but also reflecting the drug’s importance to patients. And that’s a very slippery concept.

              What a pharmaceutical company is basically saying with value-based pricing is that a patient’s life would be a whole lot worse without their drug, so that should be worth something, right? Maybe a big something.
              Drug companies can all go **** themselves.

              http://www.latimes.com/business/laza...nap-story.html

              Now I understand why Obamacare failed. Value based pricing. Like anyone can place a value on their health.

                From Elizabeth Warren's Facebook.

                This is just wrong. If Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO John Stumpf can oversee a massive consumer fraud that helped put millions of dollars in his own pockets, and then walk away with a juicy $100 million retirement package, why should we expect any big bank CEO to follow the law? Mr. Stumpf will not be accountable for this scam – as he repeatedly claims to be – unless he resigns, returns every nickel of compensation he received while this fraud was taking place, and faces an investigation by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
                I hope she is able to fix this BS before she's done. Sick of these scumbags getting off.

                  The only way that happens is a Democratic president and Congress. Even then, given the bribery, there's no guarantee we'd have enough honorable Members.

                  Without campaign finance control we have no voice in government. We might as well be a corporate board dominated by the majority shareholders.

                    What if every board member had to invest big $$$ into the corporation? If they drive it into the ground, they're out the investment. If they steer it to great heights, then they get rewarded with an increased value of their investment.

                      Compensation with options was supposed to solve that problem, it only made it worse with the sociopaths lying to the employees to goose the price, then abandoning ship to leave the workers will no job and a worthless portfolio. Ah, the beauty of "market disruption."

                      Pay the managers with shares that come due in 10-15 years. Force them to think longterm. (Then tax them 90% on the backend.)

                        Another thing that should be against the law.

                          Wells Fargo is now being sued by employees who were fired for not meeting sales quotas during the time these fraudulent accounts were being created. The plaintiffs state that the goals were unjustly set for those employees who refused to break the law in order to meet quotas. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out - or pays out.

                            Corporations want specific people as CEO, and will do anything possible to get that person. It's no different than paying someone millions to catch a handegg or hit a ball with a stick.

                              I don't care who the ****ing CEO is. I just want the bastard in jail when he commits fraud. And that's what happened here.
