I thought they were acting as an instigator of progress, not as an investor. If you limit the cost, then you limit the desire to create the product, which is the opposite of an instigator of progress. And that language was not in the application for funding or subsidies that they filled out. It is going against the statutes & regulations for public/govt funding & subsidies.

I do believe the government should be allowed some special privilege if it’s acting as a primary investor…. It should at least be able to have some say in the market cost of the product.

Or maybe those drugs should move to generic status faster than privately funded drugs.

Just spitballing some ideas on equity.

Actually, FC Tulsa rejected several of their initial trade and transfer offers. Louisville City them offered so much it triggered the automatic buyout and transfer clause in Goodrum's contract, meaning FC Tulsa couldn't reject it and the only one who could at that point was Goodrum, which he did not. Why would he want to stay on a 9th place team when he could go to a 1st place team that is the betting odds favorite to win the USL Championship? FC Tulsa fought this to the extent they could. And this type of thing happens all the time in Europe (and FIFA in general). One of the Saudi teams triggered the auto buyout for Mo Salah last year trying to get him to move from Liverpool, but Salah was the one who rejected the move at that time.

BTW, FC Tulsa scored 3 1st half goals against New Mexico United who sits atop the western conference the other night. However, because FC Tulsa needs to improve their 6, 8 and 10 spots to control the ball in the MF more, they had no answers for NMU when NMU threw everyone forward in the 2nd half. Instead of looking for consistent and good MF help, they went out and got a player from LA Galaxy II who is supposed to be a stud goal scorer.

Some context in a later post.

"She's referring to prescription drugs that received public funding from what she calls RND. Whether that's subsidies or financial funding I don't know. Not defending her but it needs context."

Taking a patent because it received government or public subsidies and/or funding is still wrong. People wouldn't apply for funding or subsidies if there was the chance the patent could be acquired by force by the government. That's essentially slave labor by the government with no warning.

Girls are up 4-2 late. Hannah Chance, transfer from OSU, has been the best player on the field. She’s a legit difference maker. She is also an example of the caliber of recruit we need to be signing out of high school.

All that momentum is going to be wasted on these careless, not well thought out moves to the left, instead of towards the center. She fooled me for a tiny moment, that she could continue with this momentum. Then Kamality set in. I go back to my original thought that she will fall flat on her face in mid Sept/early Oct. Neither one can get out of the way of their mouths.

Makes more sense. She seems to give these broad policy statements without much thought of real life effects. Suppose they’re targeted for a particular audience. Her problem imo is she’s painted herself even further left when she should be coming to the center. …or at least left center. She’s lucky she’s running against Trump
