My husband may go over to the dark side (not Repub, but ...).
He's gotten a very attractive offer from a pharmaceutical company.

I've been on the front lines of the health care/affordable pharmaceutical issue for a decade.

This is a fantastic offer; how do I live with myself?!

Eeeewwwwwww, I need a shower...

1. Ooooooh, Big Pharma
the companies I love to hate. I depend on their products for my mental health but I despise their manipulation and profiteering. Every time I see a pharma salesbot in a hospital elevator with their little rolling suitcase, I feel like singing, "God damn the pusher man...."

2. I understand how you must feel...
But, as long as his job doesn't lying about research results to get harmful drugs rushed through the approval process it may not be such a terrible thing. If it will help make the two of you more comfortable then that's wonderful!

I wish you both the best of luck and I hope he is happy with the work he does.

5. Both my life and my money depend on big pharm
I'm a diabetic and I work for a company that sells to big pharma. I've got issues with their politics, but there's much more than black and white ...
