“Given the family’s affinity for the arts, it seemed poignantly apt that dole of the protestors were artists”

the universe has a funny sense of karma doesn’t it

“should opioid pharma companies be treated like big tobacco (deceptive marketing // downplaying addictive risks // not including legitimate warnings) or gun manufacturers (shielded from liability when used to commit crimes despite targeted marketing)” is a fascinating and severely flawed analysis of this crisis

sheesh. corruption woven through all levels of society is now the opioid crisis not only lasted, but survived

in sum, everything bad in our modern day & age can be linked to one of two things (1) Israel or (2) the Reagan administration 🫩

Palestine mentioned 🙂‍↕️

rich yt people are so ghetto lmao

This book started off by explaining how ~100 years ago doctors were quacks and feared by society. Then the drug marketing by the Sachlers proved that, once again, the doctors were quacks and eating out of the hands of pharma companies in the 1960s. Ridiculous.

ok this is REAL good im so sat

they funded a medical school in Israel. how is Israel *always* found in the roots of evil.
