Not Strictly O/T Here -- THIRD Annual "Shkreli Award" Winners Announced: Odious US Health Care Figures...


This morning, we will offer some bitingly acerbic fare [from another of our properties, which is rarely updated any longer].

Personally, I would have put the Sackler family [Purdue Pharma controlling family (now in bankruptcy reorganization) and multi-billion dollar Oxycontin® profiteers] at the head of the list, but they only made the number five slot [to be fair, they were No. 3 in the prior year's list -- the only two time winners]. Full list here.

If you are so inclined, take a look for yourself. I've not covered the prior two years worth of these shame-awards (but Brenton Saunders' Restasis® Mohawk tribe patent transfer / licensing move made the list, previously -- and. . . we'd covered that nonsense).

But here's a link to last year's winners -- and the inaugural year [2017] "winners".

Indeed -- all of these are shameful -- so. . . onward.

And with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex favorably in the news, we will run a retro- masthead, today. . . "good on them", we say! Yep -- grinning -- ever. . . grinning.

Thanks, Anon.!

I did indeed see it, and will post on it at some point this weekend, probably as the snow piles up here, on Saturday evening. . . .

And may you and yours enjoy peace and prosperity, in this new decade — now dawning.

Namaste
