greetings he it'' s Tuesday 3 things one I have an essay in the Washington post regarding consumption 2 there'' s a new collision program lecture concerning the background of tuberculosis and 3 danaher two sentence backstory the firm seied had by the bigger corporation danaher makes these amazing Gene expert examinations which are the finest offered tests for tuberculosis but comparable cartridges can likewise check for HIV or hepatitis or thoroughly medicine resistant consumption just recently our area aided pressure danah her to decrease the rate of their standard tuberculosis test cartridge which caused actually millions more people annually being able to accessibility highquality screening however the tests for extensively medication immune consumption HIV hepatitis And so on all continue to be far too costly so numerous organizations have come together to request for a decrease in examination pricing for reduced and center inome nations and you can authorize their petition at the web link in the dubd now I understand it commonly seems like authorizing petitions is just a yell into deep space but I would certainly suggest that in this instance it isn'' t since one Dan her has actually shown a willingness to react to respectful yet persistent pressure and 2 this example seems the only means to bring modification in the system as currently recognized by Dana her because today there'' s exactly one team of individuals who gain from danah her charging an over 300% markup in the globe'' s poorest countries for state an HIV test bad areas definitely wear'' t benefit right like as Partners in Wellness places it in every nation where they function if the cost per cartridge were reduced we might expand access considerably people with HIV put on'' t benefit as it ' s tougher than it needs to be to accessibility high quality testing the social order doesn'' t benefit as the human Community wants HIV to be detected quickly and precisely and I would suggest that a lot of danah her workers don'' t advantage either like many people who work at Sephia did not enter into their laboratory or Technology work due to the fact that they intended to make stacks of money but rather due to the fact that they desired to make these amazing examinations that can definitely change Healthcare internationally they their Tech and research to be producing the topmost feasible social benefit and there'' s lots of cash to be made in abundant countries in order to money that research study and their livelihoods the only person that benefits from danaher'' s cost gouging is for lack of a better term me due to the fact that danaher is a publicly traded company and I am a shareholder currently in the current system danaher has an obligation to us shareholders it is legally bound to do what is in our best passion because we possess the business and at the very least as for I recognize danaher'' s setting they wear'' t feel they can make decisions that would damage the shareholders even when that would certainly profit the totality of humankind so I purchased a small slice of danah her recently partly to say thanks for decreasing the price of that standard TB cartridge however mainly since it permits me to talk and attend particular conferences with other shareholders about how they'' re profiting off of price gouging the globe'' s poorest people and those that offer them I simply believe it'' s important for my fellow shareholders to understand this since they'' re essentially the only individuals who gain from this profiteering like each people makes regarding a dollar per share in earnings dividends yearly which totals up to only like $10 for me however, for danah her'' s founders Steven and Mitchell rails they each make over $25 million a year just in dividends now not all of that comes from overcharging the poor for HIV and consumption examinations as a matter of fact extremely little of it does danaher makes over $4 billion a year in earnings much less than 1% of that originates from Sephia to overcharge for test rates in low and middle- inome nations which is really why I think they can be persuaded to change because when I hear that a business'' s main responsibility is not to its employees or its clients or the social order however instead to its shareholders what I hear is that the only way to obtain Danner her to do the appropriate point is to cost them more in reputational harm than they make from overcharging the bad and applications can assist do that together with other types of respectful however impassioned pressure 5 or 10,000 individuals having negative opinion of your firm and caring enough to authorize a request makes it harder to recruit and extra costly to Market and more it'' s an actual trouble as is negative publicity and there'' s currently a fair bit of that for danaher not only in the Washington Blog post but likewise online on strings and Instagram and Twitter And Facebook or whatever Twitter is now called there'' s also a reduced your test costs version of flappy bird which I for one discover entirely addicting combine that with the danaher workers that have actually been brave speaking out and letting their voices be listened to and it starts to get rather expensive not to reduce your test rates pricey sufficient one would wish that danaher will take into consideration lowering test costs not simply for the criterion consumption test but also for all of their examinations in low and middle- inome nations and if we haven'' t made it pricey sufficient rest assured that we will certainly continue up until we do so please sign the request Connected In the video information listed below and remain to ask Dan or her to lower their prices this sh shareholder for one would appreciate it Hank I'' ll see you on Friday
