  • I want to provide a bit more insight to the brain of this guy. They really beat the 1970s oil crisis into you at GMU as an example of price controls creating shortages. On top of this, the negotiating power of pharmaceutical companies is usually greater than a governments. Drugs are priced not by how much a consumer is able to pay but by how much the government doesn’t want their population to die, which is why you see drug prices in the $100k range. Pharmaceutical companies will happily let people die to get a better bargaining position.
















  • I couldn’t get an ID for awhile because the state wanted two qualifying pieces of mail but literally all my utilities did paperless billing. My internet provider literally had no option for paper billing. I also couldn’t get health insurance for the same reason. I also HAD to unlock my credit so the electric company could validate my identity which means I had to mail the credit card company a letter. Then the DMV fined me or not registering my vehicle on time.
