RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 08/10/18> let’s talk contagious diseases… and a couple that might be.
I get a notice in the mail every year from the Veterans Administration that I should get my flu shot. I guess all us Vets receive one.
I almost think the CDC is just a marketing arm for the pharmaceutical industry, what better spokes people to have for your business than the government, a government that is trusted by most people.
I believe most of the people that are the decision makers for our Country start out with good ideas and a wish to shake things up, but once elected learn how the game is played in government circles. Catering to lobbyists and big money is the only way to get anything done. Those who don't play the game don't get very far as a rule, #jimwebb #berniesanders #jillstein.
I have an older sister that works for big pharma and has for many years. She travels around the world with her team discovering new drugs. My sister also makes a great deal of money, then again she has many college degrees. I don't talk to her much about her job as I am adverse to the over-medication of the populace. I can find more interesting stuff to be contrary about, like her love for the current administration and xenophobia.
"Catering to lobbyists and big money is the only way to get anything done." as you mentioned, is more of a guarantee that you will get rich while you are in office, which is getting something done, just not for the people that elected them to do something for the people.
They are surely playing a game up there in Washington, and we only get to finance the game and watch, which is our own fault. We have the power to vote but a very low percentage of us even bother to vote , and even those that do vote seldom actually study or research who they are voting for and just vote along party lines.
