... to predatory capitalism! We're glad you made it. Now if you'll just sign here...

The shot callers at the top of the mental health heap have zero interest in helping anyone, unless it's helping someone empty their bank account. They're in it for the money. The rest of us are just livestock waiting to be fleeced. Or worse.

I remember when it was AGAINST THE LAW for pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers, and for good reason. Now they hustle drugs with ridiculous names whose side effects are often worse than the malady they purport to treat.

Shit. Now I'm ALL wound up.
