Sorry, but that is the truth. I will never be impressed with these egos running around giving themselves raises and raping everyone in their way. You can be impressed and say they are worth it, but I am not impressed and feel they are just greedy jerks.
Apple had one foot in the grave and Steve Jobs turned it around to make it the most valuable company. How many people can do that? People who can create and build a company are a rare breed, those who work for it are a dime-a-dozen in the larger sense. Bill Gates is worth whatever they paid him. His kind is very rare and we are fortunate to have them among us. The latest on the watch is Elon Musk. He emigrated from South Africa and may change the world, within the US. Nothing would happen without people like Andrew Carnegie. Or do you expect government to create and manage these industries? I lived in Poland while it was still Communist. Wow, you have no idea how much Communism sucks as an economic system. Poland's economy was pathetic!

Don't know if Pfizer is pulling that deal off. Here is some more on the issue. I do blame the US government because if we are going to compete in a "global" market, we need to be competitive. This is where BrianTH was a lost sole. He might be an attorney, but he knew little of the global market. Just like 99% of medical doctors are HORRIBLE investors. Best to stick to you craft. Anyway, there is a lot of bs out there regarding these relocations. Make sure you cross reference them to other more reputable sources that have more to lose.

Given how pharmaceutical companies get much higher prices for the same medicines in the U.S. than they do in other countries, this type of behavior is especially egregious. They do everything they can to use the government to distort the market in their favor and then won't even pay taxes on the profits.

Has anyone here tried to apply for Mylan in Pittsburgh?
It is totally European in their application process. Don't speak two or more languages and you are not getting in.
