summarize the major problem with the government agencies and corruption talked about in this episode
Hey folks, so here's the situation. The main issue we're tackling in this episode is the crazy level of corruption in government agencies. We're talking about how these executive branch agencies like the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, they all technically work for the White House, right? But here's the kicker: when people at the top mess up, the worst thing that happens is they lose their job. There's no criminal penalty for breaking policies. That makes it super easy for corruption to just thrive. It's all about how no one should be profiting off these political gigs, but they do. It's dirty, man, and it affects everything—what they say, what they avoid saying. It's like this deep-rooted problem that just keeps going, and you wonder how the hell we got here. It's nuts!
theres a part in the show where you talked about drugs that have been found out to actually cause harm that the corrupt fda had approved,w hat were teh facts on that
Alright, so here's the crazy scoop, man. We're talking about a serious issue with counterfeit pills and the whole Big Pharma scene. You've got fentanyl and meth being mixed into drugs that people think are safe, like Adderall or other prescription meds. These aren't just underground operations—there's a system here. Like mentioned in the episode, they busted a lab just south of San Diego cranking out 70 million counterfeit pills a month. That's insane!
And then there's this deep dive into how Big Pharma rolls, right? You've got companies prioritizing profits over people's health. There's this dude, John Abramson, who wrote about it, revealing how they knew the risks but were just focused on making more money. It's terrifying because these are drugs people rely on. And yeah, there was this big scandal with OxyContin and Oxycodone where internal emails exposed the game plan: make bank, even if it meant causing harm. Crazy stuff, man. It's a mess, and people need to open their eyes to how deep this rabbit hole goes.
