No Christmas Spirit





Have you been following Pharma CEO Martin Shkreli? He's the CEO who took a  $13.50 pill for HIV and raised it to $750 a pop, over a 5000% increase. He's heading to jail for alleged securities fraud.  I can't think of a better place for him.

I have seen the stories. The man epitomises oxygen thief.

Let's hope that greedy SOB spends a long time there and learns something from it. Hugs, Valerie

There is something sadly lacking in the man's construction that I can't see prison supplying. He needs help to learn to become human. Too bad the problem was let go so long.

I support his being thrown in jail with the general population for a L-O-N-G time. I personally want to bitchslap his ugly face til it bleeds. and then slap it some more.

Hi, Sandra!

I love the portrait of the Christmas kitten. I wish all people had the innocence of a kitten, but some are driven by greed and have hardened their hearts against their fellow man. If Shkreli serves time it will likely be in a country club prison for white collar criminals, an environment that makes rehabilitation unlikely. Nevertheless we can always hope that he will someday see the err in his ways and be a changed man.

Happy Tuesday, dear friend Sandra!

hope he ends up in a cell with ten horny gangmembers

Pat Hatt said...

Let's hope him and "Tiny" get along grand!

Sandra Cox said...

Well said, EC.

Sandra Cox said...

That hope works for me, Valerie.

Stephanie Faris said...

Yep, just shows karma eventually catches up with people like that.

Adam said...

The even sadder thing is that "original" price is ridiculous as well. The generic version in India can be made for about a nickle.

What goes around comes around.

What a greedy scumbag. I'm glad he's going to jail. But the kitten is adorable! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas! :>)

I think this SOB should go to the Island of Misfit toys so he can be the lunch of the lion king. That Lion king has to be hungry after searching every night for an unwanted toy. Oh of course, the gun will squirt jelly on the bastard after being rounded up into the pot by the cowboy on the Ostrich. Suzie the doll will be able to use her great culinary skills.

Sandra Cox said...

Indeed, Geo. I'm not sure prison will help either, but I'm not sorry he's headed there.

Sandra Cox said...

Works for me.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Shady. I'm not convinced he has a heart.
Unfortunately, You are probably right about prison.
And a happy Tuesday to you!

Sandra Cox said...

Grin.

Sandra Cox said...

Let's.....:)

Sandra Cox said...

Good point. I'm glad it caught up on this one.

Sandra Cox said...

Our pharmaceuticals are an outrage.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes indeed.

Sandra Cox said...

Agreed.
And a Merry Christmas to you too, Lexa.

Sandra Cox said...

That should do it:)

Blue Grumpster said...

I can think of a better place for him, Sandra, but I'm a gentleman who loves Christmas, so let's not even go there.

Truedessa said...

Ugh, I have seen this on the news..greed the downfall taking advantage of sick people.

Terra Heck said...

That is horrible! I don't understand why someone can be so cruel, greedy, conniving to other people.
