This Guardian Piece Touting Bill Gates’ Education Investment Brought to You by Bill Gates

The Guardian (8/31/16) published a broadly positive report on Liberian education, which is handing over the reins of 120 primary schools to a consortium of private education companies and NGOs in a pilot program exploring privatization of the West African nation’s schools.

USA Today Helps Mylan Sell an Extortionate Price for EpiPen

“Under Fire, Mylan to Offer Generic EpiPen for 50% Less,” was USA Today‘s headline (8/29/16). That depends on when you start the clock. The drug-maker announced that it would be selling an unbranded version of the lifesaving anti-allergy device for $300 for a two-pack.  That’s actually a little more than a 50 percent reduction from the current list price; a two-pack of EpiPens generally sells for $608.
