Bourbon Banter 11.0 - Big Pharma Boot Licking

Merck has come out with a new miracle drug to keep you from dying of Covid!! Woohoo?!Hold the phone. Do we really need a new miracle drug? Maybe. But was there another promising generic drug that showed promise and never really researched because it wouldn't be profitable? Let's talk about how much of this new drug the federal government has already committed to BUYING after PAYING for the research of the drug in the first place. And how much is the government paying for said drug? You won't even be able to guess. Your money is not only being spent twice on the same drug, but the price gouging is something to behold. The debt ceiling "crisis" has been solved. At least until December.

Nothing to see here.California is mandating a gender neutral toy aisle in big box stores. The attempts to distract us from the real issues are getting more and more obvious each and every day.
