Yup. They will kill the golden goose so they can have access to price controlled pharmaceuticals. They don’t care about innovation and they never learned about the profit motive. As long as they get theirs, to hell with everybody else. It is as evil as it is ignorant. We know this is the prevailing wisdom of the Left. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon on the right today either.
But sadly the State and corporations are one in the same entity these days. Look at how much pharmaceutical companies donate to Democrats the likes of Cory Booker for example.
Or the $10 million dollar donation Boeing gave to Obama’s new library even as they were outsourcing precious engineering jobs to $9 an hour workers from India.
Regardless, as a Christian my faith is ultimately not in even the best of doctors or advances in science, though those are blessings too and have their place. Every human institution is ultimately subject to corruption and failure. All I can do is steward the body God gave me with the resources I am blessed to have at my disposal in the most informed way possible. And leading a healthy lifestyle is a part of that.
I do believe the current opioid crisis is one of psychological and spiritual nature, rather than physical, and yes Satan does like to prey on the weak. And we as a society are broken in more ways than one. Merely pointing out the brokenness shouldn’t invite namecalling hysterics or tribal conflict. We should have a mature dialogue about how to proceed forward.
Blessings!
The Right continues to fall for the Left’s lies and shibboleths. It’s disheartening.
