This #LAMF thread at #reddit is absolutely brutal.

The physician / healthcare professional threads will be pure blood and gore when the #LAMF moments come for the field: no one is used to seeing cuts in the absolute amount of dollars they receive.

@ChristosArgyrop Apropos of this, Christos, why aren't pharma stocks tanking? My premise would be that much of 's capital is devoted to collecting economic rents off our regime of prohibitive drug regulation — specifically, the immense costs of registration trials. Why wouldn't the undermining of a stable [scientific] basis for FDA also undermine the valuations of these companies?

@dcnorris @ChristosArgyrop Why aren’t all stocks tanking? I’m struggling to see how any of his executive orders are “good for the economy”.

@auscandoc A fair question to be sure, but I am trying to pose a more sharply defined hypothesis. For example, maybe the answer to my question falsifies my premise about what undergirds the value of Big Pharma's capital investments.
