From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -
(a.k.a. "Black Wednesday"; I'm guessing a bunch of knobs out there are doing the digital equivalent of selling apples off a cart in front of the Stock Exchange right about now.)
"Won't Somebody Think Of The Shareholders?"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3210
No doubt that day last week will go down as "Black Wednesday" for all
the death'n'misery profiteers out there: the day the US Trade
Representative's office announced its support for a waiver of pantent
protection for COVID19 vaccines developed by Pfizer, Biontech,
Novavax, and Moderna — and Wall Street crapped its pants.
After week after week after week of hell raised about places like
India, where they're dying like flies and can't get enough vaccine
because American corporations, true to form, are hoarding the supply
and the IP protection — the US Trade Rep has decided that waiving
patent protection on vaccines during a worldwide pandemic might be a
pretty good idea after all... and this hasn't stopped Wall Street from
doing the voodoo that it do so well — setting shares of all four of
those companies dropping like a rock on Jupiter.
Buddy, can you paradigm?
