John, I wonder if your opinion on Martin Shkreli has changed since this. He's been incredibly open on exactly how the daraprim price hike won't and hasn't affected the individials taking it.

THIS VIDEO IS DA BEST

Crime is down in all white communities simply because they are well armed and they know who to watch out for.
-
Isn't tech crime going up? I don't think people where getting hacked as much in 1990 as they are now
-
I blame the proliferation of news outlets, personally. There isn't more violence, we're just much more aware of it.

John Green for president 2016.

maybe one day we will all live in a Utopia convinced it is a Dystopia.

Among the fact our medicare system isn't allowed to bid pricing.
And the biggest is biotech to big pharma patent exchange this ups the prices artificially from trial studies the biotech conducts average ranging from $5 million to $50 million, the biotech then sells the FDA approved patent to a big Pharma for several billion dollars. Mind you, the ground work of most of the drugs had various tax sponsored subsidies, so not only are you paying the taxes for the new drug developments, you're paying even higher amounts from the big pharma.
Solutions: 1 abolish medical patents. 2 allow medicare and medicaid to bid. 3 ultimate solution a single payer system abolish private insurance it's also an incredibly huge unnecessary middleman administration cost. These three items would reduce medical spending per capita a year in the US by at least half getting closer to that of what the rest of the 1st world developed countries spend, and they have the better outcomes and universal coverage. We spend twice as much and have worse outcomes... go figure. -
But. DDDDDOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

The vast majority of gun deaths fall into 2 categories, self inflicted suicide and police intervention. You are just as likely to choose to kill yourself as you are to be murdered. You are almost as likely to be killed by a police officer as you are a criminal. Gun violence has been going down for over 20 years and police killing unarmed people has been going up every year for the past 20 years. Seems to me we have a bigger problem then criminals with guns.

When he said "Several studies have shown that on the internet we like to share what makes us outraged", I thought of CGPGrey's video
-
I was thinking it was at least the same...definitely not more. Mainly because people get outraged at violence more now cause it is easier to document crime for all to see.

Hey fellow NerdFighters, need help. Where does John Green go to find these graph and stats?
