    Yes. I have worked in the industry and the profits-taking is off the charts.

    Through a snafu my prescription coverage got canceled two years running and I had occasion to check out prices in Canada and Mexico. Yes, we are getting ripped off. Do you remember Trump talking about that very fact? The story seems to be that we pay much more than any other country because those countries governments won't allow it, and Big Pharma has to have that money or they can't invent new patents for wonder drugs many of us can't afford. Oh, don't cry for me, my problems got fixed.

    Fortunately, help is on the way, thanks to our President.

    Trump's withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate accord did more harm than good
    and all the other stuff did more harm than good. Biden will be different than Trump.

    Talk, no action. He said he wouldn't taxes for rich people, then gave 85% of the cuts to people making more than $400,000 a year.
    The companies would charge other countries more.

    African American voters were a critical demographic that helped determine the final outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
    I wouldn't think there would be that many African American voter that would have voted for Trump. It would be obvious that Trump is racist.

    Do tell, did other administrations do anything at all, other than make everybody pay more, to 'subsidize' other people?

    It's rather entertaining, and telling, how people phrase a post.

    We are not talking about "other administrations".......... Each one has to be evaluated on its own merits or lack of.

    You have to wonder when the Coronavirus was taking us down earlier in 2020. Trump sounded like the virus was nothing. You think He have Tinker Bell to zap it away? We know now that something like that would not happen today, tomorrow or ever. Trump was never in his right mind.

    So Trump did 'nothing' in regards to pharmaceutical costs to the citizens?

    And yes, each Administration is affected by the previous one, good and bad.

    A private citizen connected to the most powerful person in the world that can influence the outcome? Not a problem?

    I can't believe one power structure or another hasn't drafted you to sort out the mess. Gonna write my congressman and make him aware.

    If you knew anything about economics, you'd know I'm "one of many," not an outlier.

    Trump is not a racist. This is nonsense.

    Fake News. Trump was right to withdraw.

    https://www.heritage.org/environmen...-trump-was-right-pull-out-the-paris-agreement

    2020 being the end of the 2nd decade of the 21st century was the year of a LOT of climate "science" predictions over the last many years. So, how are those predictions shaping up?

    SNOWFALLS ARE NOW JUST A THING OF THE PAST: Egg on Their Faces: 10 Climate Alarmist Predictions for 2020 That Went Horribly Wrong.

    Biden will make grandious claims about all that he will get done to "fix the climate" and other than waste a lot of money, best scenario is that he does nothing rather than screw things up.

    Nor can it be stopped. But it's a good, catchy promo for those who need a cause.
