This is such a myopic take that doesn't add anything useful to the conversation Buybacks & CEO pay aren't why drugs are so expensive, but they are part of the problem, along with high drug prices Buybacks & prices are both ways to drive higher profits, which leads to higher pay

If buybacks and CEO pay aren't why drugs are so expensive, then you disagree with AOC's take, agree with Steven's argument against it, and, ironically, are contributing nothing of value to the discussion, you absolute dunce.

I actually disagree with her even more than Steven does. He doesn't mention that investment in research isn't the reason why prices are so high. Canada gets the same drugs cheaper. They are artificially high because that's what the markets can bare.

But he doesn't explain any of that, just nitpicks i.e. adds nothing useful. I actually explained how things work, at least more than he did.

Why are you so concerned about his "nitpicking," aka his stating of his thesis, when you supposedly agree with his thesis? Don't you think the congresswoman tweeting literal falsities that you actually disagree with should be the bigger concern?

Because I want him to do better. Just like he wants others to have better arguments. If you're ignoring the actual problem to argue over how it should be argued you stop focusing on the problem. Steven failed in both cases here
