    vaccine. Would also roll back advertising rules to early 70's
    standards.

    Again, +1. Just about every commerical break on TV now has at least 2
    drug ads in them. They are making a lot of money to afford all the ads.

    Drug companies account for just over half of all ad spend in the US.

    Advertising costs a fraction of R&D. When it comes time to advertise, the product is complete and tested. It's a sure thing as opposed to whipping together a formula or separating a chemical compound, then running it through chemical and animal testing before being allowed to test it on humans.

    You have that backwards... Advertising is the single biggest expense for pharma companies, a multiple of what is spent on R&D and has been for decades. For that matter, Pharma accounts for over half of ALL advertising dollars spent (billions a year) in the US.

    What if you want the best lamb? :)

    Arguably, the lamb would come from Australia... where it's prepared is a different subject.

    All you'll get from Greece or Turkey is greasy turkey.

    Do they even HAVE turkeys in Turkey? I call false advertising.

    Greasy turkey might be better than dry turkey, though, no?

    It's a play on words to remind one about area geography. There is a sea between Greece and Turkey

    My father's mother was born around 1905. She mentioned it a lot. Althoug >> my father was born after it, I think he heard about it a lot from them (h >> father was born in 1898).

    my mom's side of the family came from hungary and they were tough people. the depression was probably just a bump in the road to them.

    I would imagine that it would have affected persons who'd not been here as long, and were from tougher areas like Eastern Europe, differently than people who'd been here long enough to take for granted that everything
    would always be plentiful.

    Although my grandparents lived through it, they were also rural and mostly poor to being with. I think the people it really affected were in the cities and likely had money to start.

    I can see it being more of an urban problem versus a rural problem regarding getting fed. If you had land or orchards, you can harvest fruit and sell it.

    Research and development can take years, and a viable product that can pass test trails is not guaranteed. Advertising an existing drug is a sur thing. The price of research is offset on other drugs that sell.

    Ahhh, yes. The programs that actually lengthened the the Depression.

    Correct. There is a lot more to it than that.

    But my point was: Elitists cause a problem, then those same Elitists try to fix the problem by doubling down on the things that caused the problem in the first place, making the problem even worse.

    Thinking of Alaska and Oil income, they have a fund that generations income, which they use to py for public works, there's no state income tax, and they even pay citizens to live there. I like that.

    Yeah, but the cost of living for everyday items is incredibly high.

    I am starting to think that is what is gonna happen in most of the West short term.

    Lots of people buying from me today have had issues because they didn't have money in the accounts linked to their electronic payment methods.

    ie. "Sucks, I cannot send you a Bizum right now because I don't have any money in my bank account".

    I hope it has been an statistic anomaly or something, but if so much people does not have much money in their account before the middle of the month we areso screwed.

    We could start a climate-friendly colo facility with chilled ambient
