Influence your thoughts and feelings

As for the prospect of those who have money gaining a benefit while those who do not becoming even less competitive; it simply has never been an issue and I see no reason why this should retard scientific technology. Sounds like something a communist would be saying, "Everyone is equal".

Yes, that makes perfect sense. If you mention anything that would in any way slightly question the dominion of the current rich, then you are a communist. Add to this the unspoken premise that 'communist' is somehow an insult like 'stalinist'.

Isn't one of the ideals of the US the idea that 'everyone can make it' there? What you're doing is preventing any of the poor from ever being successful, since being successful requires Einsteinoxyl and the poor can't afford it. Might as well fence off the ghettos and gas them all, because you're condemning all of them to a life of unemployment and starvation.

[not that there's much difference with the current situation, where only *95%* of the poor face a life of unemployment and starvation due to not having the educational background [having grown up in ghetto school], despite being told a million times by the political right that 'the educational options are there, if you don't use them you're a lazy parasite'.

By the way, those with the least education will always fall off the cart no matter how high this 'least education' is. These days you're undereducated if you don't have an university degree, within 20 years it'll be a post-doc]

Back on topic. The problem is that regardless of consequences, once a drug like this hits the market, it'll be almost a requirement. It's not hard to imagine a conversation between a prospective employee and the interviewer: 'So, I assume you use Einsteinoxyl?' 'No, it's untested and some have reported that it kills rats in six months, so I don't trust it' 'Whatever, if you get cancer after six months, we'll just fire you and hire someone else. Not our problem. However, neither us nor anyone else will hire anyone not using Einsteinoxyl. So are you gonna take it or shall I find a fridge for you to live in?'

Don't forget, the job market is in the hands of the employers. If they push the new drug, it will be shoved down our throats come hell or high water.

PS: @Ashock: I'm sure he meant communism, not stalinism. Nah, the true evil is capitalism: Hitler was backed by the weapon moguls, ergo capitalism is nazism! See the flaw?
