I honestly do not understand the need or legality behind stock buybacks, especially if money from a government subsidy is being used to buy back those stocks. To me, it sounds like a company pumping up it’s perceived value without actually fixing any real issues with the company.

How do government subsidies for big tech, big pharma, oil, gas, renewable energy etc. play into our capitalist society? If you ask me, it sounds like corporate socialism.

Chris Englebert thinks the innovation and expansion of medical technology will bring the cost of healthcare down and completely change the industry. I am ever the pessimist and think the innovation is there but the corruption of the industry could keep the profits at the top and not trickle down to the rest of the public.  Do you side with me, with Chris, or somewhere in the middle?  If you want t...
