Having worked in the medical industry (veterinary, but it's the same), I can tell you that pharma company corruption is fuckin' sweet for those of us on the corrupt side. Pfizer comes along every so often with some new dog or cat antibiotic and schedules a "meeting" with us. Meetings generally take place at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, where the whole staff is treated to filet, or some other such comparable restaurant. After dinner and wine, a 20 minute presentation on the new drug. Our doctor will think about it for about a day, and then magically a bunch of free samples of the drug will appear in our pharmacy, and then a week later he's prescribing it and it's the greatest drug he's ever heard of.

I've seen this happen a bunch of times, and every time I got a free steak dinner out of it. So let's keep those corruption levels high, because I sure as hell can't afford filet mignon on my wages.

I'd like to upvoat your story, but the last line worries me. People sell out cheap. Real cheap. Even at the highest levels . You'd think a might be impervious to the cash (but flattery often works where cash won't).

So, instead of an upvoat I'll recommend some reading.

The major blunder I acquired from the 1960s counterculture was the notion that the Enemy (with a capital E), was ignorance and that this could be cured by education. I now feel more inclined to accept R. Buckminster Fuller's description of the four major problems confronting the world as "ignorance, fear, greed, and zoning laws." Being untypically brave (like most fools), I always underestimated the role of fear in human affairs; having simple desires, I underestimated greed; and not being an architect, I never grasped the perfidious nature of zoning laws.

These people that say "riots not diets" and then go home and pop those pills to keep them alive ought to do "Diets not pills" instead
