When clients ask which online sharing system I recommend, I say @Sync. It is paramount that tax information remain secure and private, but still able to share without fear of it being compromised. I also love that data is stored in Canada!

If I had a nickel for every time nerdfighteria has pressured a large corporation into reducing prices for critical tools to address the tuberculosis crisis, I'd have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Excited to be included in this #NetZero campaign! I highly encourage everyone to take a look if you need some good news, #sustainability inspiration, and #climatechange actions you can take.

Love to see the bigot-brigades getting royally ratioed in real life, all over this country. #NoRoomforHate

Today @DanaherCorp agreed to lower the price on its tuberculosis tests 20% after a pressure campaign from a number of health nonprofits like @StopTB, @GlobalFund and @PIH as well as popular YouTuber and novelist @johngreen. Here's why that's a big deal: forbes.com/sites/willskip…

Thank you. Congratulations. I know this was not easy, but it's a very important step on the long and challenging road to a world where no one dies of tuberculosis.

HUGE NEWS and what it means: This morning, @USAID, @StopTB, and @GlobalFund jointly announced that Danaher will lower the price of their standard TB test cartridge by 20% to $7.97. This isn't the 50% reduction we hoped for BUT... @DanaherCorp is also committing to ZERO profit in their distribution of standard TB tests to impoverished communities. They will sell the cartridges at cost and bring in an "internationally accredited third-party" to assess prices and adjust them accordingly so that Danaher earns no profit from selling these cartridges. That is a huge deal. It means if Danaher's costs decline with increased volume, the price of the cartridges will further decline. Just for some perspective, if (conservatively) 10 million cartridges are sold annually at the reduced price, this deal would save the poorest communities and those who serve them $200,000,000 over the next decade. This is a massive win for people living with and fighting TB around the world, and it's a credit to years of activism by @MSF_access, @TAGTeam_Tweets, @PIH, and others. There are many questions still outstanding, of course, and we hope that Danaher will take a similar course with their extensively drug resistant TB test cartridges. But I for one am very grateful to be able to celebrate today, even as the fight for universal access to treatment and diagnostics continues. theglobalfund.org/en/news/2023/2…

Happy Monday to everyone except the executives of @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews who enabled 1.6million deaths from TB last year by overcharging for their TB tests that they developed with TAXPAYER MONEY #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5

@hankgreen I've watched your "x rants in 4 minutes" video more times than I care to count. I also show it to everyone who doesn't understand my "passive aggressive robot sack of ketchup pee" shirt :D

What's your favorite classic vlogbrothers video?

📣 We are uniting with activists around the globe to make TB testing faster, more accessible, and affordable for all. Help us amplify our collective voice by tweeting @CepheidNews & @DanaherCorp to urge them to reduce the price of all GeneXpert tests to just $5. @StopTB #EndTB

Good morning to everyone except the executives of @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews who think charging a 200%-500% profit margin on life-saving TB tests is an acceptable business model #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5

"If the price per cartridge was lowered, we could increase access significantly. We’re currently limited on the number of tests we can perform simply due to budget." -@PIH, on the direct relationship between cost and clinical outcomes. Please, @DanaherCorp. Allow more people to use the amazing GeneXpert tests.

Wow @DanaherCorp way to be a professional business that takes feedback and responses thoughtfully and not at all like a tantrum-throwing child. /sarcasm #PeopleOverProfit #Timefor5

Morning, @DanaherCorp. Still no public comment from you on the thousands of requests you've received to lower the price of GeneXpert tests, thus allowing TB patients to be treated appropriately. I really hope today is the day you publicly announce lower prices. Thanks in advance!

So grateful for this conversation with my heroes. You can watch now, and reach out to @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews to let them know that nobody should ever go through what Phumeza was forced to go through. youtube.com/watch?v=x4WtAB…

@DanaherCorp selectively cares about this statement. They price-gouge on the cost of their TB test through the 'printer ink' business model. An infuriating monopoly tactic for office supplies but abhorrent when human lives bear the cost. #PeopleOverProfit #TimeFor5

@johngreen @pantone @DanaherCorp Blood-money red #PeopleOverProfits

What should be the @pantone color of the year if their parent company @DanaherCorp continues to price-gouge the world's poorest countries for tuberculosis tests? #PeopleOverProfits

A simple summary of an insane situation. Danaher is withholding their amazing technology from the people who most need it. Enough. It's #Timefor5 #PeopleOverProfit

This is a major work of art. It's time for $5 test cartridges, @DanaherCorp. Let this playlist guide you.
