Drug companies make money. In today's society you can't make a COVID cure or whatever unless you're heavily government subsidized or charge a ton for it. And I get that. It takes a lot of money and manpower to develop these drugs. Hendrik worked his whole life for Glaxo SmithKline (from when he became an American in the 50's till when he retired for good in like 99.) which is now owned by the Brits. That company was good to the Koopman family.

But you ever read the history of Bayer? It's really bad. They were total supporters of the Third Reich and asked that govt to send them a bunch of Jews for human testing. When their first few batches of humans all died they requested more and got them. And now they're just like a legit drug company. Way worse history than Volkswagen or Hugo Boss, which also should be ashamed of themselves and imo probably shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Bayer

As part of the IG Farben conglomerate, which strongly supported the Third Reich, the Bayer company was complicit in the crimes of Nazi Germany. Learn more.

A REMINDER FROM DRC

Don't forget everyone, no politics!
Please avoid getting close to the subject.

The next several months we'll be getting assaulted on every TV station, website, robo-calls, text messages, radio, billboards, coworkers, neighbors, and random a-holes at the grocery store.

We're going to be more strict here at DRC to keep that garbage off of our pages and keep what's left of us friends.

Don't make us delete your posts, don't make it a problem, don't get banned for getting into arguments.

I'm 98% sure I know what prompted this, but I'll just leave it at that.

I like the no politics rule. I used to be on XMFan and the moderators left the political forum alone. People could say whatever they wanted and it was really nasty. Lots of profanity and personal attacks.

I think I know one of them.

The reminder was overdue.

This one's for Scotch, in case this is the news show you watch.

Yes, that first one is the channel Mrs. Scotch watches in the morning. A lot of good ones there, I'll have to carve out a block of time to play it all.

I have to watch more later too, but the graphics at the 33 second mark are the same as one of my local stations uses.

A debate over a new spa is brewing in southern New Hampshire, where some residents in Atkinson are taking a stand against The Diaper Spa — a nursery-like business for adults who role play as children and, yes, wear diapers.

What’s a ‘Diaper Spa,’ and why is it raising eyebrows in New Hampshire?

“People tend to fear anything that they fail to comprehend," said the owner of The Diaper Spa, a new business stoking local controversy.

Yet another reason to be glad I moved from Atkinson NH to Maine. Oy.

Normalizing weirdos is not a good thing. You want to wear a diaper and sit in a hot tub? Go for it. It certainly shouldn't be illegal but do it at home.

Who sat around thinking, "You know what kind of business I want to open......"

After it opens a Furry store should open next door. Then after a while it can be a whole freak show strip mall.

Like a new version of those 1910's circus trains that literally had freak shows. They could sell tickets for normal people to go gawk at all the wackadoos in the shops.

Kinda like this:

Because they already had diaper spas?????

This is so funny.

Read the first tweet in this article by some British Lord. Something really bad for all British citizens has apparently happened and it's due to corporate greed and disgusting executives.

Then scroll down and see what he's actually so upset about, hahaha.

I Promise You Will Never Be Able To Guess What This British Parliament Member Is Upset About

When I saw this tweet from a member of Britain's House of Lords, I was certain something was going horribly wrong across the pond. Maybe a company ran a bad advertisement in the wake of the news about...
