And those guys are all still in office, even the ones who are elected. All of them. Although I have to hold on to a little shred of hope that RFK will make dents in the power of the food, oil and medicine men. Did you know (I just found out) that the AMA was founded in large part to thwart homeopathy? At that time, homeopathy was threatening the money streams of doctors who prescribed pharmaceuticals instead of homeopathic remedies. A curing art was subsumed by a killing art. Remedies that cured 97% of cholera cases was subsumed by remedies that killed more than 50% of the patients. Sound familiar?

Probably shouldn't take medical advice from someone that makes more money when you are sick, or dead.™

Our well being as a goal is not a good business model for them. Stockholders wouldn't be happy.

They may prefer other investments. I think an app is going to replace most doctors, because it's easy enough to check some boxes and get to the right scrip.

Somebody may claim I gave them control of that shit, but I just pay what they ask at the store most times. When I don't haggle. You ever haggle with the checker over the price of a gallon of milk? I think that's why they're bringing in the robot checkers. I never gave anyone control of warm shit. You'd have to check with the folks that provide supplies of those things, which isn't me.

Thanks!
