For the sake of our survival from incurable diseases, Trump must fire Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the commissioner of Food and Drug administration and Alex Azar, the drug czar immediately because of their crooked practice of releasing so called life saving drugs in the market without any testing.

Since the day a bunch of yahoos went to the polls to elect Trump as the leader of our country whom every sensible Americans and the people from the rest of the world consider a "yahoo" too, the standard, that we maintained in every fields especially in the quality of our life saving drugs, has lowered to the nth degree.

No wonder our patients are paying sky-high prices for the same drugs they need for their survival and not for any recreational purposes, has doubled or tripled up or whatever way one can measure the effects of high drug prices for their well being as reported in an editorial in NYT today called, "Easier Drug Approval Isn't Cutting Drug Prices."

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the commissioner of the Food and Drug administration, is the main reason, beside his boss Trump sitting in the White House, why our cost of essential medicines are going north as they say instead of going south.

That is the main reason why we cannot allow an incompetent commissioner and a crooked drug czar called Alex Azar, the current United States Secretary of Health and Human Services and Trump, the businessman president to continue to function anymore.

These three individuals beside many others in the Trump administration should be removed from power immediately because the only motto they've in common is personal profits, nothing else.

Being in the business before, especially Trump and Dr. Azar, they have no intention to improve the quality of our lives who fall sick once in a while not because of our faults but because of the circumstances related to our survival.

Yes, our well being is thoroughly compromised first, by total neglect of our atmosphere by Trump because of his lack of desire to control the climate as we've seen before by his withdrawal from a world body of climate control.

Next, by giving us untested medicines, Trump and his minions are hastening our deaths because they cannot keep their hands off the cookie jars.

Opposition regarding the nomination by the Chinese Government of Hong Kong’s former Commissioner of Police, Andy Tsang Wai-hung for the posts of the director-general of the United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV) and executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

Under Andy Tsang’s leadership from 2011 to 2015, the popularity of the Hong Kong Police Force (β€œHKPF”) fell to a record low amongst all uniformed forces in the city. The HKPF came last in terms of people’s satisfaction on multiple occasions, in particular due to its excessive use of force against peaceful protesters. For the reasons listed below, we strongly oppose Andy Tsang’s nominations for said UN positions.

1. As Commissioner of Police Andy Tsang condoned his subordinates’ abuse of power

2. As Commissioner of Police Andy Tsang violated human rights and infringed citizens’ freedom of expression

3. Andy Tsang’s incompetence in handling conflicts often led to escalation of tensions and eventual hostilities

4. Andy Tsang has never honoured his own words

We respectfully and sincerely urge the Office of the United Nations to respond to Hongkongers’ concerns about Andy Tsang’s - a highly controversial person - nominations to important positions in the United Nations, and to disapprove the nomination so as to uphold the universal values of human rights and freedoms.

Yours faithfully,

A group of concerned Hongkongers

I wish Shark Tank would do follow-ups with all the failed businesses that none of the sharks struck deals with just so we could see all the people that later became homeless and had to sell drugs out of their car to pay for food

Shark Tank only ever does follow-ups with the businesses that end up doing well afterward. I want to see what happened to the other 90%; you know, the people that put out a second mortgage on their house to fund a revolutionary new type of cereal bowl which resulted in their credit score being destroyed and their wife picking what little flesh was left on their bones in the divorce.

I'm imagining a clip where they show the original guy doing his shark tank pitch then cut to five years later when he's living out of his 2003 Honda Civic and having to shower using the random garden hoses he's able to find when its owners are at work. The dude could be like "Joke's on Mark Cuban because I'm still an entrepreneur" before showing the camera the tackle box in his trunk that he uses to organizes the meth and cocaine that he sells to pay for gas and food. It turns out his revolutionary cereal bowl is also great to grind up pills in.

You know this shit has happened a hundred times and I'm sick of MSNBC not showing this harsh reality.
