I like how the pharmaceuticals come out with a new drug, then when it's patten expires they do the same drug in time release and when that patent runs out they combine that drug with another common drug in one tablet and patent it again! Meantime the more effective drug whose patent has long since expired is off the market completely!
And the worse part of all this? Knuckleheads who are victimized by this clamor about there profits being their rights.
Clue: You will never get to that level of wealth so stop supporting things that you hope "one" day might benefit you.
How was this for an early morning post?
Rather caustic and cynical?
thanks
