I feel sorry for you damn kids.

You have no nostalgia for TV shows of your childhood.

You want to know why?

Because if something was crap, you just didn't watch it. You watched something else.

We didn't have that luxury. There were three channels: ABC, CBS, NBC. Hell, Fox didn't come along until my teens, and their first few years were absolute crap. 21 Jump Street? Herman's Head? The Late Show with Joan Rivers?

But hey, you ask, didn't Canada make shows too?

I would have volunteered to stay behind and protect Julie.

Hangin' In. Danger Bay. The Trouble with Tracy.

I watched them all. Because I had no choice.

So go frank off while me and MonkeyPunk riff on Love Boat and Baywatch.

Get off my lawn.

A few things..
IP isnt the biggest barrier here - biggest issue is that our governments have basically desinvested from vaccine r&d and manufacturing over the last 40 years.
Vaccine manufacturing is tough and tech transfer can take up to a few years. It isnt like making some Ikea furniture..

Can't blame pharma companies for wanting to make money, it's their whole raison d'etre.
(Amazon guy is making a bigger load of money during the pandemic, there really isn't a big difference there.).

Have to blame our governments for complete failure over the last decades. I sat down many times with government officials last 10years on how vaccines and essential drugs, diagnostics etc are crucial to people's well-being and the economy and therefor our governments should take responsibilities - and they just didn't want to understand it.

Sure, the Pfizer management making millions of bonuses on a mediocre vaccine is absurd. Government leaders sleeping away on healthcare while pissing away billions on non essential programs is way worse though.

I get that they’re there for profit and certainly understand the underfunding of healthcare. I don’t understand all the details - gearing up manufacturing, distribution, whatever - of getting vaccines into the arms of the poorest nations but it would seem that spreading out the intellectual property couldn’t hurt.

I also don’t believe that a few bucks weren’t made and that the big boys won’t step up to the plate I’m a similar scenario. I get the point that waiting till the last second isn’t the best idea.

I dont see how Parros can keep his job after this season.

Total (frank) up and the more bull poop that happens this game the more reason to fire his ass.

It depends.
League is waiting for Chara to retire.
Once he does, he takes Parros' job.

I want to face the Jets...

Would much rather face the team going into playoffs cold as ice.

I want Habs and Jets to win tonight.

Then Edmonton will inevitably beat the Canucks tomorrow night, setting the four playoff teams for the North.

After that, Habs and Jets can fight it out for third.

All the "drama" going on about Edler fighting Simmonds for kneeing Hyman and now Fu3khead Wilson with his sh1te....and all the other dirty stuff in the league...

Easy fix:

If you do something on the ice that is illegal with intent to harm and it in turn results in an injury to the receiving player, automatic suspension for the same period of time that the other player is on IR.

Edler, out a month.
Wilson, out for the season.


Discuss.

agree... but good on the Rangers because contrary to exactly what the doinks on TSN were saying... that is some major egg on the face of Parros and NHL...

whether we individually agree or not - how do you suspend Edler for the 2-3 games for the leg on Hyman and not give Wilson real tangible suspension. The disparity in how the suspensions are handed out is an absolute joke. Edler's case no head contact in play, absolutely clear two separate questionable moves by Wilson involving the head.

more or less... yes - certainly where a head contact is involved... I have a harder time when someone gets a leg injury where you can argue there wasn't blatant attempt to injure... any head shot should be dealt with that way.

and absolutely no CAP relief the for the suspended player

Yep, great comparison. That Wilson gets nothing is (frank)ed.
