>> I'm pretty sure advertising is a huge chunk of the expenses

I'm not sure I get the complaints over drug companies spending money on advertising -- as though they, for some unknown reason, should be banned from marketing their products.

I'm pretty sure most of these companies' ad budgets are aimed at maximizing profits which entails a delicate balance between spending ad dollars and generating gross revenue. As with any other product.

CJ seems to be using the hit-and-run tactic here lately -- stirring up something then quietly disappearing for while. But I'd really like to hear him explain how drug company profits are a bad thing.

It is more of the SOS -- corporate profits come at the expense of the poor, which is utter nonsense. The poor buy products in arms-length exchanges like everyone else (except in many cases, they're using OUR arms).
