So what you’re telling me is, it’s okay to sacrifice the rest of the country for your own state. Let’s also know for a fact that pharma would pick up and leave if it was feasibly possible because it was cheaper, no matter how he votes.
So I understand you likely are against any universal healthcare in our country? Because of jobs?
There’s always more healthcare staff needed everywhere, maybe if education and trainings for those jobs wasn’t so expensive…
Not every person in New Jersey works for big pharma. There are other folks too, Booker should be representing all of them, not just the ones who pay him off.
How can you represent the interests of the people, and their needs, while also representing the interests of a corporation when their goals dont align?
Would you ask the same questions about CA senators representing Silicon Valley or agribusiness? Would ypu ask the same of a MI senator defending the auto industry?
The answer is sometimes you have to make a calculated choice. I believe that most adults who vote and contribute to campaigns are going to understand that NJ=Pharma to a certain extent.
Note I don’t like that “and contributes to campaigns” is a factor in politics but this is New Jersey and if Pharma is our #1 industry then corruption has to be #2 or 3.

You might be surprised to find out Senators only represent their state and not the nation as a whole.
Pharma requires a ton of infrastructure there isn’t another place for it to move to.

No, there is nothing for you to logically conclude that from and I do support universal healthcare.
Booker does represent everyone and sometimes that means backing one of the state’s biggest industries

Money really needs to get out of politics. It’s foul how we have to play the game to judge the integrity of decisions.
For the people? Or for the payout?
Obnoxious government
Thank you for your sincere response
You’re also assuming he did it for pharma. We don’t know.
When he is backing the policies backed by Pharma it is a safe presumption
