More shootings Across America....

Okay...So I can't see how Big Pharma is making these people go out, buy rifles and commit mass murder.

I've said it previously, but it starts with giving serial killers glamour. No one looks up the "victims" in crimes. They all want to know who the killer was.

I tend to agree with Confed here. Largely this tendency to medicate anything and everything that might happen to a person is largely driven by Big Pharma. Big grants from Big Pharma drive the research agenda at the universities. Big bribes from Big Pharma drive the recommendations made by the AMA and other professional organizations. Rank-and-file doctors rarely question the recommendations from above. Teachers and school guidance counsellors are just following the recommendations.

I do wonder why Confed opposes this. Confed claims to be a conservative. The ethos of conservatism is that corporate profit is the only yardstick of success. People only have value as loyal employees who work from dawn to dusk, never complain and never ask for a raise. By the conservative yardstick, Big Pharma is doing a magnificent job and raking in ENORMOUS profits. So why would you oppose it?

You expect him to have a consistent political philosophy?

LOL

I expect him to have to confront the inconsistency. Even if he doesn't publicly admit it, I hope he's privately thinking about it.

He ain’t.

He’s intellectually incapable of even understanding that he presents an inconsistent view.

If cornered he’d just say it’s that “the Big Pharma is controlled by Woke liberals and contribute to the Woke agenda of the Democrat Party”.

Not at all. Here is the Wikipedia article:

Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy that seeks to promote and to preserve traditional institutions, practices, and values.[1][2] The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears. In Western culture, depending on the particular nation, conservatives seek to promote a range of social institutions such as the nuclear family, organized religion, the military, property rights, and monarchy. Conservatives tend to favor institutions and practices that guarantee stability and evolved gradually.[2] Adherents of conservatism often oppose certain aspects of modernity (for example mass culture and secularism) and seek a return to traditional values, though different groups of conservatives may choose different traditional values to preserve.

Basically, most branches of conservatism want to value the same things that were valued in the imperial age. Some want a return to ancient Greek or Roman ideals. The Republican party is not now, nor has it ever truly been conservative (maybe during the Reagan era). As pointed out by many libertarians, George W. brought the biggest spending spree in history to the American people.

Big Pharma and Big Tech are Democrat-aligned. You could point to slightly higher donations to Republican Congressmen than Democrats, but that is due to a higher amount needed to sway their position and more Republicans serving on committees that regulate Big Pharma.

Conservatives are ok with tylenol, because it's been around longer than we (current living Conservatives) have. We're not okay with new treatments.

You can put the William Shakespeare test to what Conservatives value:
monotheism
monogamy
monarchy
monologues
