So what I’m hearing is, we should all be very mad with the Americans?

Has he seen Chicken Run, by any chance? Loved that film when I was a kid.

But seriously, no. Kids are just weird and make leaps we don’t. So he could just be expressing himself in a way where adults can’t connect the dots.

I think there’s something similar in terms of initial patent rights, but it’s awful that people who need these meds are footing the bill. I realise now that I have been spoiled by the NHS. The idea of charging people for medical care that they need is unthinkable to me. It’s heartbreaking.

Wow, damn I had no idea. It’s criminal that they’re allowed to price gouge people like that!

I’d understand if it was some frivolous cosmetic thing made from anglerfish caviar or something equally absurd, but this is lifesaving medicine. I wish terrible things on the people who set those prices, that’s pure evil.

Does the US not have generic unbranded drugs?

Generics are literally a fact of life over here (UK) and the fact that Americans are going insane over them is wild to me. The NHS will prescribe generics as standard because they’re cheaper to supply and they’re literally the same drug.

My mother has a whole goody-bag of medication and there’s not a single brand name to be seen. They’ve kept her going for >10 years.

“Weird” feels like such a mild way to describe John Harvey Kellogg.

We need Norwegian ostehøvels. They give perfect cheese slices. Shame they’re so expensive to import.

Oh look, another reason to not use Shitter and also to loathe Musk. I do love adding them to my mental list.

Not surprising, though. Musk has that kind of vibe.
