This community shares news and articles from a wide range of political perspectives—socialist, liberal, conservative, independent, libertarian, Green Party, Pirate Party, and more.

The goal isn’t to push one side but to give people a fuller picture of what's going on in the world.

You’ll find everything from mainstream coverage to underground analysis, letting you compare narratives, spot bias, and dig deeper into the facts.

It’s a place for curious thinkers, not echo chambers. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere off the map entirely, the idea is to expose yourself to other viewpoints and sharpen your own thinking.

Civil discussion is encouraged, and the focus stays on good information and mutual respect—not name-calling or tribal politics.

Was hoping it was toward Universal Healthcare but nope; just one of his businesses and I don't know enough about pharma prices for consumers to know whether this is truly a great forward step or inconsequential. Can someone more knowledgeable than me weigh in please?

also is what he's doing irrelevant if America adopts Universal Healthcare?

Too many boot lickers to have a serious discussion about universal healthcare in USA. For Cubans site it is definitely worth looking at if a pharmacist charges you too much. Friends of mine have been charged hundreds of dollars for a drug and I found it for $10 on his site. But he's not doing it for some virtuous reason. There are no good billionaires.

Why does everything need to be virtuous? He noticed things are expensive, so he's competing on price. We win with lower prices, he gets to make a buck at retail, and pharmacies have pressure to reduce prices. Everyone wins here except pharmacies that charge too much.

I just think its important to note. Im tired of hearing about “the good billionaires” and when their true colors come out everyone is surprised pikachu.

“the good billionaires”

That's the thing, don't think in terms of "good" or "bad" billionaires/companies, think in terms of beneficial/detrimental products. If the product starts sucking (likely to happen eventually), move on.

I think this business idea is good.
