Hot take: beaching whales and dolphins are the Columbuses and Magellans of the animal world, breaching the final frontiers and pushing evolution. Fight me on this. 😜
As of recently, it should be clear to everybody that future generations will think of ours, as we do of medieval ones.
So, @profgalloway suggesting to pay $1M to congress(wo)men is genius.
MTG wouldn’t even get elected in the first place, due to the significantly increased appeal of the job. @karaswisher
Putting $$$ into politics like that, is the best way of taking $$$ out of politics. ❤️
There are very few studies on the effects of long-term GLP-1 drug consumption… but some suggestions include higher risk of thyroid cancer.
U.S. consumers generally seem too quick grasping for drugs to solve even minor inconveniences.
That’s likely due to an under-regulated…
…market environment, conducive to the drugs manufacturing & distribution industrial complex:
- few / ineffective restrictions on advertising
- ineffective / overwhelmed FDA
- docs incentivized to sell (more) drugs to (more) patients
It’s reminiscent of the OxyContin story…
So, @karaswisher - I’d love to hear from an (independent!) medical professional on the @PivotPod to weigh the economic benefit against the potential health risks of long-term drug consumption.
Incl. risk of shortages for people who ACTUALLY need the drug (e.g. Diabetes)…
Hey @karaswisher & @profgalloway - re: Ozempic:
It’s weird to see you promote long-term consumption of drugs that treat symptoms, rather than root causes.
I’d agree that such a proposition will bring significant growth to the U.S. economy.
But is it a smart proposition?
This tweet tells you everything you need to know about Twitter. #divest
This is Andreessen’s last meaningful tweet — ever since, his content makes me not wanna touch @a16z with a shit stick.
Lots of reading detailed in the thread. Not sure any of it impacts his recent musings. Probably watching too much OANN in between looking at book covers. 🤷♂️
