Jan 22: Pharma-scam

I have a beef with overpaid people. Like movie stars that earn 20 million per movie. Like pro athletes who have 100 million dollar contracts over 5 years or more, depending on the sport… I just feel like they’re not worth that much – no one is that talented. No one should make the same amount of money in their lifetime as the national debt of a small country. How is that logical? Most of these people never finished school, and all they do is memorize some lines or hit a ball with a bat. It blows my mind.

And all I keep thinking about is what if all those ridiculous celebrity and athlete salaries went to medecine so they can find a cure for diseases already. Mind you, there’s currently a little known conspiracy going on involving pharmaceutical companies. I watched a medical program about a rare form of cancer that affects children. The medical staff interviewed on the show said they have a cure, but since the amount of children that are afflicted with this form of cancer is so low compared to the actual cost of making the cure, the pharmaceutical companies refuse to make it because it’s not profitable. So instead of making the cure at a loss, they choose to not make it and the children are so few that it’s an acceptable loss. True story. It makes me sick.

Haven’t you ever wondered why there was so much progress in the field of medicine, exponential growth really for several decades, with vaccines and cures popping up left and right, vaccines for chicken pox, polio, the measles, mumps, hepatitis, yellow fever, you name it. And then it just stopped? Now we have all kinds of forms of cancer, Aids, and other incurable diseases and they “can’t find a cure”. The truth that they’re not telling us is that selling the meds to allow these people to live a few more years (or many years in some cases) is more profitable for the pharmaceutical companies than curing them. It’s all quite sickening.

Deep thought of the day:

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
