After the coldest week of the winter of 2023, temperatures in the central region and southern cities have recently returned to double digits.
In the past few days, walking in the downstairs community, more and more people can see coming out to exercise, and many neighbors and friends also said that the weather is really warm.
However, this warmth may only be for those who have no worries and can enjoy life, and some people, no matter how high the temperature is, may not be able to feel the warmth, and even feel cold.
Why? Just look at a few recent news reports.
Let's take a look at the first news first, keywords: pharmaceutical companies, fines, 1.2 billion.
According to relevant media reports, a few days ago, the relevant departments in Shanghai issued a penalty notice to four companies.
In this fine, one incredible inside story of pharmaceutical companies was revealed to the masses.
Among them, the most conspicuous is that there are 4 pharmaceutical companies that sell drugs to people in need in China at a price dozens of times higher than that of foreign countries, so as to achieve profitability.
For example, for a drug, these four companies purchased raw materials from overseas, and the price was 73 yuan/gram-94 yuan/gram, and after arriving in China, they sold it for 18,000 yuan/gram-35,000 yuan/gram.
After seeing this news, I found that as long as there are interests to be made, some people's bottom line is really low.
Fortunately, the relevant departments discovered this matter in time and issued what may be the largest fine in the history of pharmaceutical companies to these four pharmaceutical companies.
From the fine, we can see that the punishment is indeed very severe, and the fine amount has reached 1.2 billion yuan.
According to reports, the amount of the fine includes not only the expenses of illegal gains, but also part of the sales of the previous year and additional fines.
I don't know how many people are like me, and I was shocked when I saw this amount.
Being able to fine so much money shows that this medicine sells a lot and is needed by many people.
This also means that the high price has caused the people who buy medicine to suffer a lot of losses in vain, which is really hateful.
I still remember that some time ago, the country had special people to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, wanting some drugs to appear on the market at lower prices, but there were always some moths and went the opposite way.
In addition to maliciously raising the price of domestic drugs, some of the four companies fined also violated the Anti-Monopoly Law.
It is reported that some of these four companies have signed supply agreements with foreign companies, making themselves the exclusive agents in the domestic market, and by giving benefits, foreign companies do not sell APIs to domestic peculiar enterprises.
In this way, they can control the supply and price of the drug, and other companies simply cannot compete with it.
Fortunately, the drugs sold by these pharmaceutical companies at high prices have been adjusted from 2,303 yuan per bottle to 270 yuan per bottle, and the people in need in the future will not have to bear a lot of economic pressure.
Through this news, it can be seen that since the "anti-corruption" in the medical field began this year, ordinary people finally do not have to tighten their belts to go to the hospital.
But it also shows that the behavior of pharmaceutical companies colluding to monopolize the market will never be the only one.
How profitable pharmaceutical companies are, needless to say, I hope that after this fine, there will be follow-up punishment measures, after all, college students will be sentenced to 10 years in prison for digging birds, and someone should pay the price for such a bad behavior of these 4 pharmaceutical companies!
Let's take a look at the second news, key words: 2.8 billion, outsourcing sanitation, and unclean snow.
As we all know, every winter, the Northeast is one of the coldest, especially some time ago, it snowed for many days, and the snow in many places can be said to be very thick.
Among them, Benxi, known as the "mountain city", is even more exaggerated.
In this place, because the roads are steep and narrow, and the traffic is heavy, if the snowdrifts are thick, many roads may become "slides", and accidents are easy.
It is reported that a few days ago, there was a delivery man who delivered food in a harsh environment and fell many times;
In the vicinity of the school, due to the large number of vehicles passing every day, some of them have formed ice and snow ruts with a depth of 10 centimeters.
It stands to reason that if this situation is encountered in a general city, there should be relevant departments to arrange staff to clear and deal with snow.
However, local residents received a notification:
Units and businesses along the street are required to clear the snow in front of their doors within 24 hours, otherwise penalties will be imposed.
I guess there are many people who have the same confused expression as me after seeing this document.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that "you sweep the snow in front of your own house, don't care about the frost on the tiles of others", but in today's society, this saying is generally only to do a good job of cleaning and sanitation at the door of the shop, and snow removal is not the obligation of residents at all, after all, that piece of land does not belong to private individuals, and it is also the transportation and sanitation department to remove snow.
Besides, judging from the pictures provided by netizens and local residents, the snow is not generally thick, and if it weren't for professional people to remove the snow, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to do this job.
According to relevant reports, in August this year, the sanitation operation in the main urban area of Benxi City was outsourced to a company at a price of 2.8 billion yuan in 24 years, and this outsourced work included snow removal services.
Good guys, why not do your job when you already have an outsourcing company that should do the work?
24 years, 2.8 billion, if it weren't for a professional sanitation team, it wouldn't have been able to sign such a long contract, and it wouldn't have been able to get such a large amount.
It costs 116 million yuan a year, can't we clear the snow? Isn't this magical?
After the incident became bigger, the relevant departments came out to respond, saying that because this outsourcing company was in the first year of service, it needed time to straighten out the cooperative relationship and run in, so it let the merchants clear the snow by themselves.
I don't know if you believe it or not, but I'm laughing anyway.
Outsourcing company, to put it nicely, is a party B that takes money, when a party B can't do the work and needs to run in, can't it be replaced by a person who can work?
If you don't do well this year, does the outsourcing company need to return the money? Or if you don't do well in the first year, can you still trust it in the future?
As we all know, merchants have already paid taxes when they are open, which means that they should be able to enjoy the snow removal services of the public sector.
But now, the people who took the money can't do anything, but let the merchants contribute money and efforts, how can this reason not be justified?
This news also reminded me of a story about sanitation workers.
In Changchun City, Jilin Province, there was a shopkeeper who found a sanitation worker cleaning on the road, and because the weather was very cold, the shopkeeper invited the sanitation worker to come into the shop to keep warm.
After the sanitation workers entered the store, the owner found that the uniforms worn by the sanitation workers were too thin, and after touching them with his hands, he found that the warmth was not good, so he took a video and posted it on social media.
According to the video uploaded by the shopkeeper, it can be seen that the clothes of the sanitation workers are not only a thin layer, but also shine through.
After further understanding, everyone learned that the material used in the work clothes of sanitation workers was acrylic cotton.
People who often buy clothes should know that acrylic cotton is cheaper and more wear-resistant, but its thermal insulation performance is very poor, just like the fake cotton that people used to say, if worn for a long time, it may also be irritating to the skin.
However, it is this kind of clothing that is actually worn by sanitation workers who have been working outdoors for a long time, I don't know why?
On the one hand, the sanitation workers can't remove the snow, and on the other hand, the sanitation workers can't even wear thick clothes, so the comparison is even more magical.
Let's look at the last news, key words: medical care, window climbing.
As for this news, it's still quite funny.
At first, a few days ago, some media reported that in a hospital in Sichuan, a number of medical staff had to jump off the building collectively in order to ask for wages.
It didn't take long for the hospital to come out and respond, saying that it was not, and denied that anyone had jumped off the building.
Not long ago, the relevant departments came out and said that it was indeed not because of the salary, but that the community health service center was adjusting its management authority, and some personnel had objections to this matter.
But judging from the videos taken by some netizens, there are indeed many medical staff who have climbed to the top of the window, and they can see that there is an air cushion downstairs.
At that time, there were many passers-by downstairs in the hospital who saw this, which was very intriguing.
Of course, now that the official has come out to clarify the matter, everyone doesn't have to watch the excitement.
I hope that in the end, the medical staff can get a satisfactory arrangement, after all, good health is the most important thing, after all, there are always some people who think that as long as the result is acceptable, they don't care about the process and the opinions of the masses.
