All because they have the attitude "it's not right you have all that money and I don't get to play with it"

They are so dying to burn it all on AI and crypto, it's killing them that can't touch our retirement funds

I rarely watch broadcast TV any more but when I do all I see are mostly pharma ads

I wish the industry would just start their own ad channel for those people who want to watch Broadway musical shorts about med that help you poop
