Drug ads are the only thing keeping cable TV floating
I am hoping he bans combustion cars from dense urban area.
That’s just insane enough that he might actually try it
Can medicine finally stop getting jingles?
Fuck you (drug you all wanna mention but I won’t give them the exposure here) and your randomly changing cast of dancers and main singer.
No more big story to tell got you.
So RFK2 with this and Trump trying to end DST.
If they can stay on the fringe of everything like that then maaaaybe it won’t be so bad? But they can’t.
The fact that these pharmaceutical companies can afford to license the songs that they’re riffing off of makes you wonder how many of your dollars are going to the actual production of the drugs you need to survive, and how many of those dollars are going into marketing
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Only old or ignorant people still watch ads. So, of course this piece of shit sees them all day long.
Not defending the guy, to be clear, but.
That’s actually not how advertising works. Unless you live in a bubble in the US, you’re seeing drug ads at the tire shop, airport, restaurant, gas station, billboards, everywhere.
Advertising is more about subconscious placement of things than active watching. Very few people sit down with a bowl of popcorn to watch 30 commercials for pleasure. You don’t even realize it got you, and may never.
Futurama did a good sketch on the concept with “lightspeed briefs” where they were advertising in Fry’s dreams. Principle has always been the same.
These ads used to be illegal, until the FDA in 1997 made it legal, David A. Kessler, who’s appointment continued by President Bill Clinton at the time made them legal. This same FDA actually did good things like nutrition facts labels, so it wasn’t all terrible. They alleged that advertising drugs would help inform the public, although in reality, it is a terrible mechanism to broadcast that type of information as marketing to an uninformed public and it should have never been allowed.
Also not to mention, it influences your friends or family and the people you interact with. Unless you’re an antisocial hermit, you’re going to be affected one way or another
RFK makes a lot of good points when it comes to some of his policies. He just sprinkles in being batshit insane takes and takes them just as seriously.
For real lol
Finally this loser advocates for something I don’t like.
Read what a lot of you are saying in this thread about “rare W” and the like and realize this poignant saying…
“You can’t only piss in one PART of the pool”
You won’t get just the one thing you want from RFK, you’ll get it all - Stop taking the bait, dipshits. This is the candy he’s trying to give you while sliding down your pants with the other hand and slathering coconut oil on your b-hole.
Trump won, so the US will get a pissed pool no matter what.
To say “rare w” isn’t to deny that, it’s acknowledging that even though the pool is absolutely disgusting with 80% piss, at least that’ll help some people with skin conditions.
Yep that’s basically it. “Rare W” is not an endorsement, it’s pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.
He’s a weird mix of “cannot be allowed near the job” and great ideas.
Well, two. This and getting the stigma off of psychedelics.
Nothing’s worth having an anti-vaxxer in charge, though. Not even close.
You forgot his third one, he supports stem cell research, which is odd given that his new buddies don’t approve of creating new sources of stem cells (aborted fetal tissue).
Well, IVF is still legal for the time being.
And fun fact! Depending on the facility, if there’s any unused fertilized eggs left the woman/couple can decide to donate them to medical stem cell research facilities.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
There are fools who believe that Big Pharma won’t take over Big Supplement (and the ads will be for supplements).
Rare RFK W.
Even a blind clock is a horse once in a while
A broken horse will lead a man to water at least twice a day in the bush
The other was avoiding processed foods. I’m guessing he won’t be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.
There’s a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they’ve asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.
Trump is smiling in the picture like he just made his new stooge pose with a dog turd
RFK just looks terrible in every picture I’ve seen
Mike johnson photobombing in from the side, trying to be included.
Seriously, he gives me major whiplash. Like 90% of his opinions are pure bullshit, but I often agree with the remainder.
He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.
He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.
RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don’t think it was 100% the brain worm either.
“When your rich they just let you do it” - Some rich asshole
He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That’s probably how he got that brain worm.
The behind the bastards podcast about him was a wild ride
I guess the worm didn’t eat all of it.
I wonder if that ban includes quack remedies?
Yes, that would be good, but let’s be real here, this is basically a statement that says “hey big pharma, I’m not getting enough campaign contributions!! Get off your ass and give me some cash!” - Trump
This will NEVER get passed in a Trump administration. It’s all window dressing on a big pile of streaming shit.
Most of what RFK proposes or wants to propose would impact the bottom line of big pharma.
You think they’re going to allow that?
Never fuck with the money.
RFK doesn’t mind annoying the corporatocracy…
Sure. If RFK were President then it could possibly happen… But just imagine one big pharma company handing Trump a check… You think for one second this would pass?
I seem many bad things being said, and some hopeful things mixed in. I’m just waiting until it’s all said and done to assess the outcome.
I will be happily surprised if it comes to be… But I won’t give them any credit for just saying the words.
Nearly all countries do this. Even the regressive ones. It’s one of the biggest reasons why pharma is a massive cash cow in the US, alongside the fact that we don’t negotiate drug prices aside from a handful of drugs and only medicare/medicaid and only the past <4 years or so.
