Vivek Ramaswamy...
Up to 9% in the Cult polls...who is this oozing rectal orifice?
Highly educated American kid of immigrant parents from India. Father a patent attorney at General Electric, mother a psychiatrist. Grew up rich, tops at all levels in his university education, a multi-millionaire $15M before he got out of college. But most enlightening in his personal and business history is this thing...
At QVT Financial 2007-2014 managing the company's biotech portfolio... investments under Ramaswamy included a stake in sociopathic grifter Martin Shkreli's Retrophin. In a 2023 speech and in his book Woke Inc., Ramaswamy called Shkreli both "brilliant" and a pathological liar, but criticized the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecuting him, calling Shkreli's fraud a "victimless crime."
A victimless crime...un-fucking believable. So we know that this punk-ass MAGA cult member has no conscience or character.
From his book Woke, Inc....
"So Shkreli is a bad guy...but whom did Shkreli hurt? The people he was convicted for defrauding all ended up richer. The people who used Daraprim didn't pay more for it: the cost was split up across the whole health insurance system."
So it's fine that the cost of Daraprim was split up across the whole health insurance system, eh? Which means all of us, including those of us who aren't worth a billion dollars, paid for it. One thing we know for sure is that Ramaswamy has no fucking problem with health care costing every one of us twice what it costs anybody living in the EU. Just as long as the health care, health insurance,and pharmaceutical industries remain a good place to invest money.
Victimless crime, my ass.
