Lie. Cheat. Steal. Kill. Win win. (Everybody doing it.)
This is the way. Downvotes are for pseudoscience and bigotry, not harmless differing opinions.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy and all that.
I just wanna say that I appreciate the hell out of you.
Pharma companies are basing pricing for these one-time-in-a-life-dose drugs on supply and demand principles. There will never be high demand for these drugs because the conditions are so rare. And only needing to be dosed once for a complete lifetime cure means that there is no recurrent payment happening the way you would have with a drug that needed to be dosed repeatedly over a lifetime.
You’ll hear all the usual excuses about “muh R&D costs 😭😭” but the truth is they’re pricing it this way because they can. Because somewhere in the bible of capitalism, this is the way things work.
(R&D costs are just an excuse for greed: https://www.treatmentactiongroup.org/resources/tagline/tagline-fall-2018/pharma-lies-people-die-myth-busting-fact-sheet-on-medicine-development-and-pricing/)
I’m on book 8, and if you can believe it gets even better. I’m a little speechless about it.
People are supposed to literally say cheese to make them smile. Really, honestly that’s why we say cheese:
Hahahaha, oh man that’s great. You’re one of today’s 10,000: https://xkcd.com/1053/
Everyone being photographed is supposed to say cheese because the shape of the word mimics a smile. Why did you think people said cheese? Lol
Homeopathic products contain zero dose of active ingredient, not even a microdose
Thank you for acknowledging that billionaires existing is a political problem. Glad we can agree
The rising of the sea is astronomically slow, so there’s a lot of denial about it. It’s already a minor (maybe moderate?) problem here on the east coast of the US. Boston, NYC, and Miami are already seeing more flooding during storms than they saw historically.
But if there’s someone who is willing to pay for a waterfront property despite the risk, then there will always be someone willing to sell it to them.
But here in Boston, we’re finally starting to see new construction projects taking future sea level rise into account: https://www.baysideupdate.com/#:~:text=By raising the Project Site,and protect the surrounding neighborhood
Generalized convulsions are a pretty well-established effect of nitrogen toxicity.
“In the few experiments in which nitrogen was breathed for 17–20 sec unconsciousness supervened and was accompanied on most occasions by a generalized convulsion.”

Known in the scuba diving world as “getting narced” (nitrogen narcosis)
