More people take prescription drugs in the USA than anywhere else on the planet, the drugs drugs in large part treat the symptoms of the root cause. Secondary prescriptions are likely to mitigate the side effects of the primary prescription.

There are many well intentioned people in medicine, I know some very dedicated doctors, and orthopedic surgeon, a psychiatrist, a pharmacist, and many nurses.

Most would agree that the majority of modern medicine only treats the symptoms after they've presented. There is very rarely any consideration to the cause of the presented symptoms. Pills not skills is the mantra...

We just went through a global pandemic where the vast majority of people who died or were greatly affected had co morbidities that are treated with better nutrition and exercise. The ONLY acceptable treatment was an untested, unproven thrleraputic. Anyone who even asked.questions was effectively removed from having a voice. I'm sure this last paragraph will further trigger some posters...

In no way am I conflating the idea that front line workers in the "food and housing insecurity" industries are the problem. The elite that control budgets in the many millions to billions of dollars works tirelessly every year to lobby governments of all levels to increase their working capital. There has never been a decrease.of either problem. In fact, they are at all time highs globally.

Why do administrators and directors of large programs with huge budgets make obscene money. Some even get performance scalled bonuses for increasing their budgets.

Medicine and the research involved.in furthering the proliferance of drugs prescribed is controlled and funded by the very people that profit from it...

If specialized had the means to corrupt at its core all r&d for bikes and had the ability to shut down anyone who dared.to mess worh their profits, while having the backing of governments and their regulators. What would happen?
It certainly wouldn't be for the benefit of consumers.

Big pharma regulates the entire industry with the huge stores of cash and influence.

Try getting research funding for something that would be of a net benefit for society that doesn't have the ability to be monetized.... you'll be caught in a regulatory hell.

Again, covid showed the world just how corrupted it's systems are.

Edit. There are a few autocorrected spelling mistakes and some extra periods placed erroneously, that's what typing on a phone keyboard gets you... ������

What you are arguing is that neoliberal economics is really bad. There are versions of capitalism that are better. North America and the United Kingdom have been all in on neoliberalism since thatcher and Regan. The results are more wealth inequality. However, your argument against agencies should be extended to corporations since they are doing exactly what you are suggesting agencies are doing. Make sure the war you are fighting here is a class war and not a culture war. The world’s systems are not nearly as corrupt as you might imagine. Spend time in a country where graft and corruption are real and you will get a better appreciation of how are imperfect systems are actually good and can be changed for the better without destroying them and casting us all adrift.
