Reply to comment by rustys_shackled_ford in Novo Nordisk joins Lilly in plans to slash U.S. insulin prices by urbanskyline09

I mean better late than never. Also the pressure is from California deciding enough was enough and the state government making their own for like $25-35 a bottle. So people could just buy from them. I could see California eventually setting up nationwide shipping.

I bet they are trying to bury that fact with their "sudden" altruism.

Better late then never is a thought cancelling mentality ... it's an excuse to keep being/doing shitty things.

Imagine if the authorities said that after catching a serial killer.

Imagine the leader of the planet saying it after we've made the planet uninhabitable.

I stopped buying the "better late then never" propaganda when I realized how the 2 party voting system worked.

Those are not equivalent arguments though. They have to change because the state of California said enough is enough. It would be like cops finally doing their job, because a vigilante is making them look bad.

The second one wouldn't be possible, he would be dead if the planet is uninhabitable.

My point stands they are doing this as PR and potentially bury the news about California. Before any other states decide to make them change their policies.
