America’s Prescription Drug Cartel

6 posts in this topic

Solution is simple:

1) Outlaw money in politics and lobbying.

2) Medicare For All & ban private health insurance.

3) Set price caps on drugs and/or have Fed manufacture generics.

What great points & a humanitarian answer. That would be qualities of a genuine democracy. The stage blue/ orange criticism would be: But that’s socialism!! Your taking my freedom which is otherwise known as libertarianism BS.

Money in politics can have its problems, but the real reason there isn't more progressive change is because:

- The voters just aren't as progressive as progressives think they are

- Institutional bias of electoral system (electoral college, the senate etc) which favours Republicans, as well it's just really hard to get bills passed in the US

Thank you for the article. Outlines the structural problems pretty well keeping our politics stuck. The question is how do we raise public consciousness & education in order to make highly informed decisions based on quality information & human/ animal wellbeing. A big project is dismantling & recognising misinformation like Fox News & Ben Shapiro from infecting the minds of everyday people  which are programming  their viewers in a right-wing bubble.

This is partly how progressive public policy is delayed at the expense of the general public. All you need to do is go to Leo’s blog & watch the New York Times January 6th documentary to see how mislead these people are.

It begins at education. Critical thinking & self-reflective minds can determine that fox news is like fast food. It doesn't require a ban of things. When you educate kids they will easily navigate the modern world.
