    the price difference and, well, its plasticity is unparalleled

    nothing else comes even close within several orders of magnitude. the other options listed ITT are complete jokes. you think goods are expensive now because of a few points of inflation? imagine paying a few dollars extra for thick and heavy glass bottles for everything or fancy custom made seaweed mushroom compounds instead of medical grade sterile plastic wrap that costs 2c per football field

    You know, I can’t speak for the baby bells or other industries and definitely not politicos, but I’ve never understood that conspiracy theory about doctors getting money from Big Pharma. I by no means endorse Skrelli bros but I’ve been a doctor for a decade and while I do take advantage of free lunches whenever I can get them, I just prescribe what I want to and I don’t get any money whenever I do so. Most of the time I just heckle the company throughout the lunch and don’t use their product. Seroquel helps a lot of people and while I don’t prescribe it, it’s basically the Kleenex or Scotch tape of antidepressants and nobody gets any special kick backs when they write it, they know their patients are just getting it from India over the internet anyway or CVS/DR/Walgreens/Rite Aid just swaps it for the generic. inb4 studies showing slight biases towards companies you got a free pen from, I still don’t get any kickbacks. No matter what I do the fake blonde with fake nails and lashes shows up faithfully to get my office staff Panera or Chick-fil-A. It’s pennies to them and I usually skip cause I’m trying to avoid carbs.
