the person in somalia likely has a different cost/effectiveness preference vs the american, which is expressed through the lack of regulation.

To elaborate on this, if the individual in Somalia didn't want to die from said cancer and preferred better regulation, they would readily move to Ohio.
I sincerely hope both of you are just trying to make a joke. I don't think a web forum like this one is the right place for it, though.
hope all you want i think understanding what this site reveals about the world view of investor/dev types is a kind of sociological? shock.

its like everyone learning during covid their neighbors would kill every service worker to avoid the inconvenience of making their own coffee. it leaves a mark.

see what happened to the poor n-gate.com fellow, burned him out

The person in somalia doesn't live in a country where the managers of the pharmaceutical company live and can be arrested.
Can the managers of the pharmaceutical company really be arrested in the US? Arrests are for poor people.
As Matt Levine would say: inefficacious cancer drugs sold in the American market would be egregious securities fraud[1] if the shareholders are not informed by company offices ahead of time. The resulting shareholder lawsuit may cost some managers their jobs. There is also the (minute) risk of getting Luigi'd by someone a state over, whose loved one they suspected to have gotten a bad batch and didn't get better.

1. "Everything is securities fraud" is a running series showing the breadth and depth of how shareholders exercise their rights in creative ways.

Larry Summers is that you?
