Somone worried about the backlash brewing against profiteers of death.

Luigi is never going to be able to hold his stool again. How does that make you feel?

​@@m0nZt3rBrian will never think again 😂

Lmfao, Martin Shkreli is so out of touch with the average person, Luigi got the attention and love Martin did in one decade in one week, should tell you something

The fact that there's a price gouging monopolist at every stage of the medical supply chain means it's the governments fault. It starts with the half million dollars it takes to make a doctor in the first place.

it's afraid

what's your take on excessive costs of insurance companies and how they play a role in expenses. PBMs contribute nothing yet made record revenues

I WISH that "everyone" wanted to live longer, but that's obviously not the case. 99% of the wealthy and powerful only chase status, they don't put anything into longevity research. Elon even says that longevity research should be illegal, "because we already have too many senile politicians" (he doesn't grasp that longevity research would end senility). Bill Andrews at Sierra Science has been slowly doing a telomerase-activator screen since 2008... his VCs lost their money in the 2009 subprime crash. The screen could be done in six months in a big-pharma screening lab... but no one has done it, not even JNJ that had Sergei Gryaznov twiddling his thumbs in their Janssen labs for a decades. Telomerase activator gene vectors work in rodents (even though they shouldn't)... there's every reason to think that they will work to extend primate lives far better. Parabiosis and parabiosis mimics, even less researched in humans. First successful rat parabiosis was in 1855 (yes, 18 not 19). Conboy Lab recently demonstrated that it's not just the things that are supplied by young blood, it's the BAD things that are in old blood that matter. 50% increase in rodent lifespan... and no primate work. You pointed out that lifespan increase has flattened, which is true. Even if we cured every cancer it would add less than 4 years of lifespan. The only way to advance is to modify programmed aging. Bowhead Whales live >230 years... with no technology, and with 500 times our cell number (i.e. cancer risk). It's insane that no one is putting serious money into doing the obvious trials.

Brother can I get your opinion on a stock?
