  • Yeah i generally assume decisions like these are profit/hate driven. If you can make a market case, even mildly convincing that profits will be hit, it’s going to be researched enough to get copyright and bury as long as possible.

    Just can’t imagine being one of those researchers(if they knew/weren’t duped), board members or marketing fucks going home to someone who thinks they’re loved, watching them writhe in pain, and think, “yeah I’m gonna be so rich!”













  • Pharmaceuticals are life saving for people in various conditions whether thyroid issues, achieving a body that can exercise in the first place, or fast interdiction for diseases associated with excess body fat. But yeah i agree with your point if someone’s problem is their own choice in diet and exercise.

    When you go off GLP-1s you generally gain all that weight back. So when they’re discussed in the context of saving airlines on fuel costs it’s not that far a leap from cynicism about pharmaceutical companies being pretty excited about rising popularity in a take-forever-drug.

    Capitalism is so gross…
