I'm a BIG Trump supporter. You are being too sensitive about this. We are just saying the President needs to have a proofreader on his tweets. Simple enough.

Not only is it real, that's how you know he's the one who wrote it. That, and putting "electricity" in quotes.

They absolutely are. Their own Central Bank has already warned their idiotic left wing politicians that a prolonged trade war with the U.S. will devastate their economy.

I've always loved that logo. A powerful image. For the most part, we were a much better country when that old man was in his prime.

I didn't say I knew how to fix it. Just pointing out that it happens but pharma should charge the same in other countries as they do here. Especially if they take Medicaid/Medicare for their drugs or any tax payers money at all that they use in their R&D.
It's a tough problem to solve. We can't force other countries to pay more and pharma companies won't willingly force that either. If push came to shove, the ROW would probably ignore intellectual property laws and produce the drugs themselves, which would lead to a different kind of trade war.
We can tell pharma that they have to sell drugs here at the same prices as UK, Europe, Canada, etc., but that will hurt R&D and innovation will stagnate. That's probably the outcome anyway as the industry gets nationalized and becomes inefficient and ineffective. Socialism inevitably swallows the entire economy and turns it into shite.

The person i replied to wasnt you, so it sounds like your being too sensitive. But i’ll play along.
What exactly needed proofreading based on the comment i replied to?

I’m absolutely shocked at Canada. I heard someone say they other day that Texas has a bigger economy than the entire country of Canada. That blew my mind when I heard this

If they were smart they would be. But since they have stupid people running Canada you may be right.

Here's Canada's painful reality, 56:
Canadian GDP is $2 Trillion
US GDP is $27 Trillion
Canadian GDP per capita is $53K
US GDP per capita is $83K
If they are not worried, they'd better get their heads out of ToonTown, and re-enter the real world.

I have a burning hatred for all Canadians beyond what you can even comprehend. When Canada ceases to exist, I will be calling you out.

The US does not need Canada and they know it.
Why is it that we currently import so much stuff from these countries that everyone says we don't need?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm asking a sincere question.
We import lots of construction materials from Canada (cement, aluminum, sawn wood, plastics, etc.), machinery, crude oil, natural gas, automotive parts, electronics, and produce.
So if there isn't some advantage to the US to import those things from them instead of producing them ourselves, why did we ever start doing it?
Same with China. Everybody here posts, "We don't need cheap Chinese shite," but we import all kinds of stuff from China, not just cheap junk. Factory machinery, large construction vehicles, all kinds of medical equipment (basically anything made with plastic), transistors, diodes, finished electronics, smartphones, computers.
In China's case the reason is obvious...because if we produced that stuff ourselves it would be a lot more expensive.
Canada, I don't know. But there must be some reason. Otherwise we would just have always filed the market demand ourselves.

They are not just worried, they are petrified. The USA can crush Canada economically if it chooses and Canada is playing with fire by taking this position on tariffs.
They have ripped off the American people and America worker for decades and it is coming home to roost.

So what's the fix for this?
There is none, besides changing the intellectual property laws so that they are like other countries'. And if you do that, all incentive for pharmaceutical R&D would stop dead in its tracks. They would stop investing in R&D for new drugs because they wouldn't be able to recoup the investment.

We can stop subsiding our own pharma companies
I don't think he was talking about direct subsidies. If he was, that's not really how we subsidize drugs for the world.
We protect the patents on medicine for a certain number of years. Other countries don't. So they can produce generic versions of new medication immediately. We have to wait several years before we can. So there is no competition here and the companies charge a premium, whereas in other countries there is a free market approach and the market sets the lowest price.
So the rest of the world is drafting off our protectionist policies.
Which you populists love, btw. Y'all are all about some economic protectionism. I believe I've seen one poster here literally post, "Free markets are for pussies."
He was possibly the dumbest poster here (which is saying a lot), but nevertheless...
In any case, I eagerly await all of the many posts telling me that the negative effects of protectionism are worth it in this case just like they are in the case of a tariff war.
