I believe it. We're a 'corporatocracy.' None of our regulations have any teeth because the politicians who make the laws and interpret them are all on the payroll of Big Pharma and the other multinationals that run our world. No politician would dare say "boo" to one of these companies, let alone propose legislation that would allow single payer health insurance that uses collective bargaining to get the prices of prescriptions down out of the stratosphere. And they won't propose legislation to regulate or in fact stop dangerous drugs from being released to the market. The amount of damage these opiods have done to our people and society and continue to do now, unchecked by any government force, is beyond staggering. This alone could be what future civilizations say about us when we're written up in history books.
