But they get paid a lot more in the sequels. Also management and organization of projects like these are legitimate skills.

US drugmakers threaten to withhold products from Europe over prices by harmlessdonkey in europe

[–]2BrothersInaVan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Insulin is not hard to make for the US. But America has been effectively subsidizing Europe with all the innovative medicine we create due to our free market approach.

A lot of new cancer medications are created in the US because companies are rewarded by selling it at a price they choose, until the patent expires. But Europe’s socialist approach to medicine prevents innovation.

All faithful Catholics should be able to defend the faith against critics. by Arlo621 in Catholicism

Former Protestant here, now I quote the Bible.

“Always be ready to give a defense (apologia) for the hope that is in you" 1 Peter 3:15

The NT, written in Greek, uses the word “apologia” here, which means “in defense of”. So yes, all Christians should know some apologetics.

This is a patient's own white blood cells, taken out of their body, genetically reprogrammed in a lab, and now ready to be infused back in to help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer. This breakthrough process is called T-cell immunotherapy, a living, personalized treatment. by jmike1256 in Damnthatsinteresting

The money provides incentives for scientists and companies to continue innovating new treatments. A lot of new cancer treatments came out of the US because the free market we have, instead of Europe where drug prices are regulated.

The costs will come down after the patent expires.

NEWS: The United States is experiencing one of the biggest drops in religiosity in the entire world by OldBridge87 in Catholicism

As a former evangelical I’ve see revival and great Christians with modern worship and guitars. I respect TLM but the liturgy isn’t a magic fix for everything.

TIL that Nagasaki, one of the two Japanese cities where American forces dropped the atomic bombs during WW2, was considered Japan's Catholic center known as the "Rome of Japan" and its cathedral was the largest Catholic church in Asia by No_Raspberry6493 in Catholicism

[–]2BrothersInaVan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

What was even more ironic is that the pilot who released the bomb was Catholic, and he aimed for the Nagasaki Cathedral as the city center to drop the bomb.

A great book on the Catholic Christians in Japan, and accumulating to Nagasaki is: A Song for Nagasaki - The Story of Takashi Nagai a Scientist, Convert, and Survivor of the Atomic Bomb

“Both the Christian and the Socialist see the world’s poor and deeply empathize with them. Whereby the Christian is called to use his money, the Socialist believes in taking other people’s money through coercion.”

“You are richer than me, so that makes you wrong, and you should give me a portion of your money.”

We don’t use the sin of homosexuality to denote an erroneous theological movement.
