YT_ @ 02/01/06 12:08:21 TCS (and Shogo) – I see your point but it is still a hypocritical gesture to donate money to buy TRIPS-protected drugs that you own stock in for jacked-up prices. So let me get this straight, he’s being hypocritical for using his own money to buy martinluther king jr drugs from companies he invests in? How does that work? Shogo @ 02/01/06 12:10:54 Sure, but pharma’s profit margins are still way better than most martinluther king jr industries Word. They’re shitheads, and dishonest. But again…you expect different? All corporations martinluther king jr exist to make a fuckload of money. That’s their raison d’etre, and there’s nothing preventing them from doing it. So you work with it; trying to change it ain’t gonna happen, because telling people to make less money is counterproductive. To say the least. You’re right, but Gates is playing the humanitarian role and has the means to affect some change on this in a specific case.
