People with one brain cell could see right through it which is why I voted against (and lost as usual.) For those who bought the propaganda - Baa Baa Baa

Kidney disease has progressed to where firms don't see that spending $100M to defeat a cap on profits bill is prima facie evidence of too much profit..No crying over spilt...urine - Dialysis industry spent $100 million to beat a California ballot measure

I am reminded that 'Medicine is a business. Patients are paying customers.'

This shouldn’t have been on the ballot in the first place. It should have been handled by the state legislature. And I really don’t understand why people voted against it! This sucks for people that need dialysis!

Dialysis staffing is horrid and dangerous. The fact there are not more deaths is pure luck

So wrong.

Of course lots of money in it

Once again, the poor are cannon fodder for profits. GoldBessAmerica

Hmmm maybe we should get money out of politics...

I mean, sure ....people are making a lot of money off of the dialysis industry. I don't think that is a surprise. But the bill to cap revenue will most likely have the effect of shutting down the smaller dialysis center. Meaning less options. And more monopoly. Oops.

Aurora Cannabis stock surges after earnings top $100 million, revenue nearly quadruplesShares of Aurora Cannabis Inc. surged 3.3% in premarket trade Monday, after the Canada-based cannabis company reported Monday fiscal first-quarter net earnings that rose to $105.5 million from $3.6 million a year ago, and from $79.9 million in the previous quarter. Total revenue rose 260% from a year ago and 55% from the previous quarter to $29.7 million, while cannabis revenue jumped 236% from last year and 65% from last quarter to $24.6 million. The average selling price per gram of dried cannabis grew 15% from a year ago to $8.39, while the cash cost per gram fell 12% to $1.90. For cannabis extracts, the net selling price per gram fell 26% to $12.12, while costs declined 22% to $1.45. Active registered patients rose 250% to 67,484. The company the jump in net earnings was primarily attributable to unrealized non-cash gains on derivatives and marketable securities. "The commencement of adult consumer use sales in Canada has been very successful for Aurora, with strong performance across all product categories and brands," said Chief Executive Terry Booth. "Given the strong unmet consumer demand evident across Canada, we are confident that our rapidly increasing production capacity will result in continued acceleration of revenue growth." The stock has rallied 58% over the past three months while the ETF MG Alternative Harvest ETF has climbed 22% and the S&P 500 has slipped 1.8%. Is it legal to own this stock?
