Keep in mind that the OG Wall Street bets Community stanned this guy hard
Shkreli was an evil shithead but he was different in how brazen he was; he laid bare how fucked up the financial system is. He was jokerfied, which these people respond to. most WSB posters are alienated, disaffected millennials without a coherent political philosophy or ideology either way and could glow up with some class consciousness
Also considering he was the minnow and Valeant were the fucking whale of what he did - like what he did was shitty (and a direct result of the perverse incentive structure the broken medical system is) but the vilification of him seems out of line with the actual decrepit fucks who were doi g this on an industrial scale. He at least made the effort to upfront about how his shitfuckery was a direct result of how broken the system is. (Not to defend, it's just weird seeing him used as the poster boy when he wasn't the worst)
His crime was saying the quiet part out loud. The “respectable” companies doing the same or worse are never punished.
the highlight for me is when she's ~45 minutes late to couples therapy because she was visiting Shkreli in prison
Thinking about that thing Gregor Clegane did to that guy
Without looking it up, I can only assume that the German word for guillotine is a compound of "big neck knife" or something
Looked it up. Fallbeil (falling axe) is the proper word, so Fallbeilengesicht would be what I was going for. Meh
FREE MARTIN SHKRELI
^me back when I thought triggering folks by supporting this dude was super edgy when I was a young chud
real lumpenprole hours
it's a little fucked up that he gets to be the whipping boy for the same shit that thousands of people working for health care companies do every day i guess
