What Is the Basic Economic Principle?

~ is it merely that of profit???

Among the most promising repurposed drugs for cancer and chronic illness are ivermectin, fenbendazole, mebendazole, CBD oil, and melatonin. These drugs, despite their potential, have been largely ignored or actively suppressed by Big Pharma due to their affordability…

Is it possible that the pharmaceutical companies not want to make you well at all, but rather they want your money? This violates the Hippocratic oath! But, we cannot go back to ancient Greece. So here we are.

We are in a different era entirely. Somehow, capitalism arose and this is the era of mass participation in an economic system. An economy is a system of human social organization that has arrived at some particular method for distributing available goods and products (items). Capitalism achieves extremely wide distribution of its products (or items). I do not claim to know exctly how it works.

Now there are also the conservatives. They say, with some justification, that all of this is dangerous. Well, it is certainly dangerous to the traditions that include, for example salvery, war and colonial exploration to obtain slaves and gold. Honestly. The last thing I’d want is to have these “traditional” people taking over everything. They just do not have a very good record. Read a little about life in Europe before the French Revolution and then tell me about “traditional values.” Of course, one may go all the was back to ancient Greece. Yeah, that “Golden Age” was fine and everybody love it; but it lasted for about forty years.

Conservatives want us to remain in a traditional society, but what kind of a socity would that be? The one prior to capitalism? Conservatism means making fewer changes rather than more. We are not in a conservative system. We are living in a system of continuous change: we be in capitalism, baby!

In capitalism, money is exchanged for goods. Using money (or more so the awful plastic cards) makes the transactions go quickly and painlessly. But this also creates certain problems, inevitably.

There needs to be some kind of predictability and stability to this system, a stability that was provided in the past by the fact of human culture. The cultural traditions were not wiped out overnight by capitalism; that does not make sense. So those cultural traditions (which are what makes societies stable and life liveable for all the members of a given society) certainly lived on for awhile.

Because of the ease of transaction, the persons who come to dominate the fnancial system are increasingly alienated from the rest of us. This did not happen simply because of “capitalism.” It happened very gradually. But now we are there. What can protect the human race?

That protection, at this time, must be based on something else other than the continuousness of human culture in all its different forms over the face of the earth. Capitalism has been stripped of its cultural component. That cultural component was responsible for keeping the system intact for a hundred years, for human culture in some form or other was maintained in the United States during the 19th century.

Eventually, this wears down and wears out. At that point, capitalism is “naked,” no longer connected to cultural traditions. (Hagen Das ice cream is not from Holland. It was a marketing ploy by some guy in the business world.) Thousands of persons in differently-colored hair styles believe such a world is viable. Time will tell but culture is essentially free. Don’t thet have a right to block free stuff, that comes from nature?

And the big pharma companies seem to now have the nerve to block useful treatments — they cannot make any money from that. Those treatments are “affordable.” The pharma companies’ behavior shows the weakness of a capitalist system controlled only by a few private individuals. Here’s the quote, again:
