it’s unbelievable that the us has straight up drug ads to consumers
world most overpriced drugs, and ads.
in most of the world that would be a ridiculously sci fi dystopia that no one would think is possible
At least we’re not the only one! Iirc new Zealand does/did as well
Great start.
Advertising in general should be illegal.
But but how will companies convince you their shity quality products is what everyone is buying??
Finally, some good fucking legislation
If we get pissed off enough as a country we can make this happen
we just had a no kings protests.
srsly wtf bernie
“Ask your doctor if Phuckettal is right for you today!”
No. The doctor should be telling me what I need; not me telling them what I want. It’s not a fucking candy store. Not only do I hate the ads, I hate not knowing with certainty if I am being prescribed something because I need it or if the pharma company that makes the drug simply pays the doctor to prescribe it. 😬
Tackling the real issues I see.
Anything to get out of having to explain why he never once used the word genocide.

“What we should be focusing on is ending the destruction and changing policy,” he said. “Let’s be clear, 52,000 people have been killed, mostly women and children. Over 100,000 have been wounded with the entire infrastructure destroyed. That is horrible. That is barbaric. That is the concern we have but some people want to argue about a word which the United Nations is now working to define.”
Seems like a good choice, not letting people waste time.
This rat nas NEVER used the word genocide, and never missed a chache to say shitrahell has a right to defend itself or condemn Hamas.
Also invariably blames only ‘the Netanyahoo government’ and not the eternal evil entity, as if that would change if he’s gone.Edit: and he’s also saying protest should be non-violent so that nothing will change.
Never votes for anything useful unless it won’t make a difference with 90+% against.His mask has been off for a long time.
what slimy coward
It’s good to have independents!
Yeah, democrats hate him because he’s not beholden to the ruling class.
Fuck democrats and republicans.
LMFAO. Yeah that will totally pass. The billionaire class totally wants to nerf their biggest source of revenue.
There was a time when ads for both pharmaceuticals and lawyers were both illegal. Considering how many of each I see every day, it makes me wonder how they filled their ad schedules in the olden days.
Laundry detergent and other household cleaners targeting stay-at-home wives.
It’s why daytime dramas are called Soap Operas.
If this is passed(lol), then it will put a lot of actors who specialize in pretending to garden out of work.
Good!
Everyone involved in advertising can get real jobs instead of being paid to psychologically manipulate us with fake smiles!
Not to mention the people who come up with all that cheesy music and lyrics that try to rhyme with the nonsensical words the industry uses for drug names.
Sounds complicated. What if we just banned all ads?
That would take away a major advantage rich people have over us, so you’d better believe the useful idiots among us will not support it.
There goes the Golf channel
But then how will they try to defend exorbitant drug prices when they no longer have tens of millions of dollars of advertising expenditures and are still developing drugs largely via publicly funded research?
Hey, those bonuses and stock buybacks aren’t going to pay for themselves!!!
Prescription drug ads are a global oddity to begin with. Last I heard, only the U.S. and New Zealand allow them.
My man.
