We Need A Famine

1. “It’s just catering to people’s sense that they’re taking their health into their own hands.”
   And why shouldn’t they? Really? Given the absurd political cant that supposed science is acting like a $10 Hooker toward in so many categories how is it not better to look askance to any pseudo-science based fads and just plug your own individual symptoms into an internet global data base and self diagnose? Oh! right!? You can’t get any drugs because there are people who have worked and studied to be in the “authorities” group who have a vested interest in maintaining supremacy over the Healing Industry and “feck you” if your only interest in health is to avoid DYING.

2. And in the Cambridge Times (Ontario), in the region of Waterloo, over 700,000 needles were handed out for free last year when the combined population of that region is (wait for it)…535,154 at the 2016 census. Now I have never been an intravenous drug user, so I don’t know precisely what equipment is used, but a 25 Gauge – 3 CC – 1″ Syringes with Needle, in a box of 100, is $30.67 from Bulk Syringes.com which means that the region (if that syringe is an example) spent roughly $210,000 taxpayer dollars just on syringes to keep users from disease and that does not include the government employees required to hand them out. I estimate the cost because the article DOES NOT. It starts on page 1, and is continued on page 11 where a note is made that of the syringes handed out, 377,521 syringes were never handed back in. That means a lot of sharps are in the landfill, or lost on the streets or being re-used and passed around – fate unknown. And drug users are such responsible people (sarcasm off).

3. Why drink a glass of water when you can pay a stranger $100+ to stick a needle in your arm instead?

6. Good for the proprietors of these IV lounges, taking the initiative to relieve overprivileged morons of their surplus cash.

7. “…experts say these lounges are at best a waste of money and at worst potentially dangerous.”
   I disagree with those experts. I’ll say that these lounges are at worst a waste of money but at best, potentially dangerous.
