People leave states all the time. Saying people leave means nothing.

But you still can't tell me which districts are seeing their populations decline. Which districts are going to be consolidated because of the decline.

But you can #BothSides yourself to the death since you seem so keen to do so. Please, don't take your time.

either way is a loss of 5 electoral votes, so it doesnt matter

for the 3rd time, what point are you trying to make?

How a Drugmaker Profited by Slow-Walking a Promising H.I.V. Therapy (Published 2023)

Wow


Gilead, one of the world’s largest drugmakers, appeared to be embracing a well-worn industry tactic: gaming the U.S. patent system to protect lucrative monopolies on best-selling drugs.

At the time, Gilead already had a pair of blockbuster H.I.V. treatments, both of which were underpinned by a version of a drug called tenofovir. The first of those treatments was set to lose patent protection in 2017, at which point competitors would be free to introduce cheaper alternatives.
