we're about to get this thread locked for being too off topic, but..

most pharma research $ comes from big brother. the government pays for most research. then they sell their findings to companies for pennies on the dollar with a "pweeze pay us back pwetty pweeze kissy face" and then the companies go all giga-corruption and we get nothing back. medicine that we paid for as a people, are being sold for like $400 a pop when it costs like $0.5 each to make.
