I'm sure I haven't paid for The Globe and Mail, so I'm a little puzzled.
It's been observed that demanding an apology for everything is a weasel-y, performative, and Millennial thing, and the author is actually pushing back against that.

It's been observed that demanding an apology for everything is a weasel-y, performative, and Millennial thing, and the author is actually pushing back against that.
"Apologizing easily and quickly is what millennials want"
Not gonna get it, though.
-- OR --
"It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them."
a bit mangled. Full details:
Santa Cruz: where the 60's never died.
Hey. I ate at that place. I notice it's not there anymore, though.
doesn't make any sense. I did justify them and told you where.

But you're right: they're "tired of hearing about the Holocaust." I'll bet they are.
"Censor" - I guess that's your term for "disagree." AFAICT you're free to say whatever you like about Israel. Like you're doing right now.
No one has to pay attention to you, though. Maybe that's your idea of censorship.
that reminds me of the "mostly peaceful protests" in Portland.
Face it: not everyone agrees with you. That's our right.
> here is no “price” for a drug
Yes, there is. If we look on their 10-K statements, they will have a fixed cost and a variable cost assigned to each drug. The variable cost will be just the manufacturing, and the fixed will be research and overhead allocated to this drug.
Total cost = fixed + variable. The rest is profit. We can decide what a "reasonable" profit is, and Total Cost + Profit is the notional "price."
That doesn't mean treating them like a state monopoly and the final price is fixed by law, but it does tell us a "price." All those things you mentioned (list, net, Medicaid, AMP, ASP) are kinda irrelevant.
No, I don't have a "problem"; I just have a different opinion than you do.
But your problem IS: you refuse to admit when you've been proven wrong. You made a statement; I demonstrated it was incorrect. Game over.
So their political preferences aren't really material.
And of course, you have no data to back up your statements.
I'm afraid you're going to need some support for that statement.

The US is supporting Israel and supplying it with weapons. Neither Presidential candidate has any intention of changing that, nor is there majority Congressional support for changing it.
> I value liberty more than punishment
Putting your thumb on the scales and misstating the question. It's not about "punishment" -- it's safety. Yes, fear of punishment does dissuade some criminals from preying on victims.
And you've just admitted why NYC'ers broadly support stop-and-frisk: because they're "scared", too. As if that's something to be ashamed of.
As for "if you don't expect to get caught in it" -- you're right, I don't look like a mugger. You probably don't, either.
I guess that means you're happy with going back to the early days of Bratton's policing, then? By 2008 the battle was mostly won.
Assuming I believe your numbers (a stretch, but stay with me): do you have some other way of catching those 82,287 convictions? Or you just don't care?
The reason they were in minority neighborhoods is that that's where the crime is. And also where the crime victims are.
The fact is, the Giulani / Bratton reforms worked. But I guess you prefer more crime. Even if you're the one being mugged?
There are less risky ways, like buying a put option.
