0:00:00 - 0:00:22 I want to make you an I told you so video, I've had a link up on my phone for a long time. Uh Meaning to do this, but I wanted to point you to an article I saw on the news where a pharmacy um there, there was a group of people and they jumped the counter at a pharmacy and they stole all the meds. Now 0:00:22 - 0:00:41 , it's been a while since I looked at that article, it happened a couple of weeks ago. But I told you this was gonna happen. I told you this was gonna happen and it's gonna happen a heck of a lot more. Why? Well, it's a confluence of a whole bunch of things. First off. Uh I told you the foundations are 0:00:41 - 0:01:04 gone. One of the foundations is that, that our whole culture rests upon is the idea that it's a rare thing for someone to be willing to steal someone else's stuff. Well, that is becoming the norm instead of an exception. And as that needle moves more and more things are gonna break, they're gonna break 0:01:04 - 0:01:25 heart. So when you go to a bank, you'll notice and increasingly these days which is another issue, but a very important one, you'll notice that, um, there isn't a lot of money in the bank. They keep very little money on hand. In fact, if you have any kind of a sizable balance and you'd like to make a 0:01:25 - 0:01:43 withdrawal, you actually have to call ahead of time and schedule it so that they can make sure that they have enough money there because normally they won't, they also have bulletproof glass. They have all these precautions, security cameras everywhere. Now, go into your local pharmacy. How many of those 0:01:42 - 0:02:08 precautions are there almost done for? Now? There's no bulletproof glass. They'll have the normal security cameras. There's no guards. Do you have any idea how much money in the form of pills? A pharmacy has just your average pharmacy. It might be 10 to 50 times what's in the local bank. I'm not exaggerating 0:02:07 - 0:02:27 . So this robbery, I think they took 100 and $70,000 worth of drugs. So what has caused this to happen? I mentioned the shift in culture. People are willing to steal things a lot, a lot, uh, more readily than they would have 1015, 2030 years ago. Of course, there have been changes in the enforcement 0:02:26 - 0:02:47 of the law. It's not just a cultural thing where people have envy, that's what it is and they think that they're entitled to other people's things. Um, they don't care about other people, you know, some grandma doesn't have her pills cause some guys stole them. Um But it's not just that historically 0:02:46 - 0:03:06 , you wouldn't have $200,000 worth of pills in a pharmacy because there weren't pills that cost $200,000 right? So part of the, the sort of pharmaceutical industrial complex that has fed into this and what's, what's a factor that influences that government subsidized medicine when, when it's not the 0:03:06 - 0:03:27 end user controlling the price of the product through ability to purchase or uh choice to purchase. But the government who says, hey, it's free cause someone else's money. Well, the price goes up every time. What else? Complexity, complexity because the, the drugs they're coming out with now they use 0:03:26 - 0:03:47 form factors and, and research bases that are way more complicated. It's more way more expensive to develop these, to discover them, to develop them, to manufacture them, even to deliver them a lot of the COVID shots, for example, needed crazy subzero temperatures. Uh at least in the beginning when they 0:03:47 - 0:04:07 just magically decided that wasn't necessary anymore, whatever. So uh you have this confluence of factors and that's what you have when you have a complex system and slight little changes here and there like, hey, there's a significant number of people who think it's OK to steal now. And hey, we're making 0:04:07 - 0:04:28 better and better drugs that happen to cost billions of dollars each to bring to market uh and so on. And so forth and then all of a sudden you've got this glaring target. Please come steal all the drugs in my pharmacy because it's the lowest barrier to get that much reward in society for big segments 0:04:27 - 0:04:50 of people. So this is going to continue. And what's gonna happen is unfortunately, what you might not realize is in so many ways, our way of life relies upon principles that we do not live as a culture anymore. And so all of those benefits are gonna get clawed back, not by anyone, but they're just gonna 0:04:50 - 0:05:13 fall apart. So your, your current, like almost all elderly people are on all sorts of meds and a lot of people besides, a lot of people are taking something that's prescribed. And right now, hey, you can go to your choice of five drug stores that are right outside your window or right on your way to 0:05:12 - 0:05:36 work. It will not be the case in a very short time. You're going to see this evaporate in real time, the drug stores, the, the pharmacies, they're gonna close down that they will go to um fewer sources. And then this always happens is when the, when the sources contract, the price goes up, availability 0:05:36 - 0:05:55 goes down and price goes up every time. So you're gonna see this happen and it's gonna cause a huge shift in the way people make decisions and and the people that really need their drugs, put it in air quotes cause it might be a valid need or just a really strong want, they're gonna have to Reprioritize 0:05:54 - 0:06:14 their lives to get it. So, in the face of this, all sorts of other things could happen, like vastly reduced research and development from pharmaceutical companies which some people might think is a good thing. Um But, but yeah, so lots of things, lots of things. So I, I told you that would happen and 0:00:00 - 0:00:22 I want to make you an I told you so video, I've had a link up on my phone for a long time. Uh Meaning to do this, but I wanted to point you to an article I saw on the news where a pharmacy um there, there was a group of people and they jumped the counter at a pharmacy and they stole all the meds.

So, in the face of this, all sorts of other things could happen, like vastly reduced research and development from pharmaceutical companies which some people might think is a good thing. Um But, but yeah, so lots of things, lots of things. So I, I told you that would happen and 0:06:14 - 0:06:20 it did and that's, that's one example. There, there are many more but I just wanna make a quick video about that.
