10. BINGO!

They refuse to allow something that could be produced in your own home. They refuse to allow the general public one minute of relief that they don't get a massive payout for. Big Pharma needs to be taken down a few notches. Why have we not done it? Is it because we think they will take their pills and leave? Go ahead. There will be ten new pharmacies in the same building in less than a month. I am so sick and tired of this 'we are too important for you to do anything but bow to us' mentality in our corporations. Especially when we know damned well that any business is replaceable. I know that, these days, society is just a small part of business, but I prefer the days when business was just a small part of society. You know, when corporations remembered who put them there in the first place.
