- #Bitcoin's rise from 7k to 20K happened about 50% faster than its fall from 20K back to 7k. Since markets generally fall faster than they rise, it seems likely that the pace of Bitcoin's decline is likely to pick up.
- Household debt hits all-time high. But it's worse than it seems as mortgage debt is down because homeownership is down and equity is gone!
- President #Trump has a misunderstanding of U.S. history. The #Republican party of the past did favor #tariffs, which is why it was the party of big government and big business. The Democratic party apposed tariffs and was the party of small government and the common man!

CEO who raised price of drug by 5000%
I know everyone is hating on this guy, but here is my view on the whole thing. So yeah this guy may be a prick, but from purely an economic sense, what he did might not be so terrible. The patent that Turing Pharmaceuticals purchased is for Daraprim, and from what I know, the patent is actually expired, all he bought was the right to sell the branded drug. No one is producing it generically - yet. With the massive price hike surely some pharmaceutical companies will come in with generic versions of Daraprim and undercut Turing's prices and increase supply until there is competitive equilibrium. What do you think?
