1st World Problems


OkayOkay

Recommended Posts

Was reading about the looming expiration of Pfizer's patent on Viagra when it occurred to me that big pharma essentially derives a huge percentage of its profits treating 1st world problems.

Lipitor - treats high cholesterol caused by poor diet, obesity & lack of exercise.

Lyrica - Treats neuropathic pain in appendages caused by diabetes.

Viagra - Treats erectile disfunction which can be caused by side effects of anti-depressants, age, diabetes.

Nexium - Treats heartburn which can be caused by poor diet & diabetes.

Plavix - Prevent stroke/heart attack due to poor diet, obesity & those at high risk (aka those living that 1st world lifestyle y0)

.

.

.

And the list goes on. You don't hear about third world countries complaining about the long term side effects of eating too many cheezburgers.

Good thing you think all medications only have one indication caused by one thing.

"I know for most FaceTime is a peripheral app, but for me it's essential because I use it to speak in the house with my family (because we have no intercom) so that we don't have to yell to each other while in different rooms."

i had to get a lunch bag for the fried chicken i was eating toom because every restaurant was closing. what mostly bothers me is the target of the looting and burning. honest people's places and old monument shouldn't be targeted. it's all so messy i hope it either stops quickly or turns into some sort of class war...

i've been hearing sirens all night in london and had to come back earlier because everything was closing. what's sad is that the rioters target honest people's places, shops and buildings. working class people targeting working class interests is stupid. i've seen hoodies looking for trouble in the streets which i can understand, boredom, living conditions and whatnot, but that's not how you do it...

and they keep showing that burning building in Croydon on tv like it was the main event.

i just hope it ends quickly or turns into something good.
