Honestly, how does a society even get to this point? I know it has before, but it's still baffling and fascinating to watch it in real time. Another example would be Canada apparently being mostly okay with the government and healthcare system (but I repeat myself) literally killing citizens.
The people with real money (billions / trillions) demanded it, the millionaires followed suit in order to 'fit in' with the real money (same as climate change BS / female empowerment / etc.) and the politicians immediately after.
Money trickles down, when the people with access to incredible amounts decide on an agenda they can basically force it down the line and we are powerless to stop it. Doctors are just a link in the chain, beholden to the pharmaceutical lobbyists and medical "community" for their continued access to money.
The opioid epidemic exposed all Doctors as grifting assholes. Nothing has changed, in fact it is worse now since they know they can get away with it.
