United States: 323 meds are now in short supply because of capitalism

…the root cause of shortages of low-cost, off-patent generic drugs is well established. These drugs have razor-thin to non-existent profit margins…

Sounds like a system that prioritizes profit margins over human life needs to be removed.

Capitalism is a death cult.

Yes, capitalisms sucks, the article can even tell you why. there are companies that are selling at prices that nobody else can match, selling at a loss to strangle the competition. Not an uncommon practice, you just have to be rich to do it.

they usually kill the competition, then jack up prices massivly to “earn back” their loss.

Anyone is welcome, not just leftists, but these are the guidelines:

No oppressing other users (bigotry is oppression).

No defending oppressive systems such as capitalism or the US "democracy."

No uncivil or rude comments to other users (politicians and capitalists are fair game).

No ax murderers, serial killers, neoliberals, torturers, cops, cryptobros, debatebros, or similar.

Discussion, not debate. It’s okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that’s not supposed to happen here. This includes especially “whatabout Trump” on posts criticizing Biden.

No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities such as IDF, ICE, the US prison system, or likewise.

Transphobes eat my ass.

These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and prevent the constant trolling of leftists and post-leftists that happens in places like reddit and Facebook. Follow the spirit of these guidelines.

If you are here to learn, then welcome! Remember this is not a debate hub. This is a place to share and learn.

Other than that, feel free to share memes, text posts, articles, or other things you find edifying and helpful.

The main reason I started this is because I know it’s hard to have a discussion in non-leftist spaces without constantly having to stop and explain fundamental ideas, so I hope this will give a space and a voice to anyone who’s felt frustrated like me.
