The medicine it self still costs next to nothing, pair that with a cheap syringe and you have a solution that cost less than a 1/3 of what the epi pen cost before the price increase.

The media and spoiled or stupid parents are the only ones who feel entitled to the convince the epi-pen provides. I say F-u to those too proud to learn how to use a syringe. the creator of the pen should be allow to sell it at any price, so long as the base drug is still accessible and affordable.

Shit, even when I believed, I thought it so cool that Jesus went around healing people and resurected them. Fiction it is, still a nice gesture at those times I still believed that.
Corporate Jesus needs to complete objectives.

You made three assertions in that sentence. I believe the first two but have never seen a shred of evidence to support the third.

Well... he hasn't come back to defend his position on calling us douche bags or on his absurd thinking in his shit post... so I would have to say that he's left the thread.

Prior evidence suggests it isn't shame over being an asshole - because that asshole hasn't a shred of it.

ETA - seriously, Google. "Asshole" isn't in your auto-correct dictionary. FFS half of my vocabulary is profanity.
