No.

Running over human beings so you can throw a rock at a pillar which symbolizes the devil.
How about using that energy to solve the problems in your stupid countries so the rest of the world isn't inundated with your refugees.

Goodbye, Volkswagen

Not likely bro.  You can't just kill an organization of that size, with that much capital, with one scandal.  For farg sake, they made cars for Nazis.  They'll survive this.

I was thinking, "They survived Hitler, they'll survive this."

Now I'm thinking like Dio...

Poor wording on my part but I didn't mean they'd be wiped out...but rather knocked down quite a bit to the doldrums for awhile.

I am curious to see how heavily they're fined.

Sometimes at work I'll eat a combination of food that makes me fart a lot.

I laugh.  Co workers not so much.

2 weeks after controversial pharma CEO Martin Shkreli announced he would lower the price of Daraprim, it's the exact same price

In September, he told ABC News, "We've agreed to lower the price of Daraprim to a point that is more affordable and is able to allow the company to make a profit, but a very small profit."

That hasn't happened yet. A 30-day, 30-pill supply of Daraprim would cost me $27,006 at my local pharmacy.

That boils down to about $900 a pill, which includes the wholesale cost, along with specific pharmacy fees based on the zip code I gave the pharmacy.

So while the price of the drug hasn't gotten any higher since Shkreli hiked it 5,000%, it hasn't gotten any lower since he promised to reduce it either. Turing did not respond to Business Insider's request for clarification about this price.
