2. Maybe Big Pharma is a large part of the problem...

But we also live in a shit hole country where a vulgar, demented, painted clown dresses down the preeminent infectious disease expert in press briefings and steals more money in a month than this sick, twisted society deems a lifetime of research, discovery and expertise in saving lives is worth.

Until a fucker like Trump is making a living hustling 12 'gigs' and sofa surfing at friends' places to save $$$, then the drug companies are only a small part of a systemically violent system. That violence is manifest more frequently against minorities and more viscerally in policing, but make no mistake, it is endemic to this "society" and if you doubt THAT...take a good hard look at Portland this week.

Drug companies, insurance companies, banks and hedge fund managers combine with the oil cartels and politicians to rig EVERYTHING against earning a living and to reward cronyism and graft at every turn...
