Unjust Jury Fines Eli Lilly $3,000,000,000.00

     Americans have gotten so used to hearing that government is spending millions here, billions there, and over a trillion each year that a number doesn't seem like it means much anymore.

Well, in an adverse health risk case, a jury has decided to pull a number out of a hat and smack Eli Lilly with a 3 billion dollar fine.  Do these jurors even know how much money that is, or how much work is required to produce it?  That's 3,000,000,000.00 dollars!

It is the middle of the night; and Eli Lilly has yet to respond.  But, Takeda Pharmaceuticals that was hit with a 6,000,000,000.00 dollar fine at the same time issued a press release that it disagrees with the unjust ruling and intends to fight it judicially.  Let's hope for the sake of American justice that this financial nihilism is struck down.
