You left off the largest component of the cost of medications: marketing.
"We wanted to balance the value and the affordability concerns with a responsible price that would ensure access to patients," said CEO Jeffrey Marrazzo
That's comedy gold, right there!
Unless, of course, you happen to have this form of blindness without being a multimillionaire. Then, it's just an insult.
That's not "fixing it" so much as "breaking it" unless you have some sort of actual proof that the FCC acted illegally.
what chairman Pai has been saying.
Pai is a liar, so what he says means little. This is a case in point -- he says this like it's a good reason to get rid of NN rules, even though he could easily keep them in place until such legislation is passed.
He doesn't give a shit about process or what's best for the American people. What he cares about is giving a huge gift to the major telecoms.
90% of butts in seat not the folks who see a movie once in a while.
The majority of butts-in-seats may very well be those who see a movie once per month or less. I couldn't find numbers about that specifically, but the numbers that are readily available seem to indicate this is a strong possibility.
There is nothing really wrong with electronic voting systems that wasn't wrong with the old mechanical ones, punch cards or even the old paper ballots.
Well, the punch cards were always a terrible idea and remain so. And you're right that there is no perfectly secure method. That said, there are two things that make the electronic systems worse: they're easier to subvert (more points of potential failure), and if subverted, it's easier to make it unnoticeable and/or impossible to prove tampering.
Yes, that's still a point of potential failure. But at least paper ballots reduce the number of points of potential failure.
I don't see how having people manually count ballots could possibly be more reliable than having it done by a machine.
It makes election tampering more difficult to pull off.
Electronic voting systems guarantee that it's impossible to actually trust the results of elections.
There are no games on this system.
