Probably about the same time as people stop equating "general and administration expenses" with "marketing". Marketing is a subset of that.

Yes, it also includes buying lunches for doctors and private jets for the executive staff. What it does not include is R&D in any shape or form. The fact is R&D isn't making drug prices high.

Oy. It also includes paying the janitors, the property taxes, and the myriad of other costs that come with running a company.

Neither are their SGA expenses. The two combined are just under half GSK's revenue.

Anyway, that's irrelevant to trying to score cheap points with a false equivalence.
