This Sounds Like a Good Idea

The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company (MCCPDC) is a registered pharmaceutical wholesaler and purchases drugs directly from manufacturers, bypassing middlemen to lower the the price of more than 100 medications, it said in a statement.

Interesting announcement. Guessing publicity will be the biggest challenge. Announcing that MCCPDC was going to carry Ivermectin could solve that. Will also be interesting if the Big Pharma companies boycott advertising on Shark Tank in response.

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Peter Attia: How Do we Do Drugs Now? And Bob Ross paintings. Two separate subjects but I assumed they went together (just like back in college). 

- After the Fall. "The people running the country are incompetent. Is there a leader left in America?" There's plenty of "Influencers but "leaders?" Not so much.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Army Ranger School is a laboratory of human endurance. Long read but well worth it. This aside jumped out at me, "'That's why I carry a gun. The average human is only three missed meals away from becoming a savage.'"

- Apple likely planning 2020 iPhone SE assembly in Brazil. But if it is still being assembled by Foxconn it is really decoupling?

- The Short, Violent Oil War of 2020.  Article is just a week old and may already be in need of an update. Just as an aside I think the US, Mexico and Canada should ban any imports of oil or natural gas as a way to insulate our economies from such future gamesmanship.

- Nixon Opened China. It's Time to Close It. Won't quibble over the historical reasons Nixon opened China but I do agree with this statement 100%, "It took decades to truly open China and it will take years to close them back off. But we should start now."

- Richard Branson's heart seems to be in the right place. (And the cynic in me acknowledges that Branson's PR instincts have always been strong.)

- "Cartels are scrambling:" Virus snarls global drug trade. Even the drug kingpins are looking to decouple from China.
