Less Jobs, More Pills
There is yet another industry that has been flourishing during the economic recession. Pharmaceutical companies have witnessed an increase in sleeping pill sales as of late. This may suggest that Americans are more stressed than ever and that the insecurities of work are dramatically effecting an individual’s sleeping patterns on a nightly basis.
When pharmaceuticals portray themselves as the remedy and solution, the situation tends to exacerbate itself. Every penny counts today, but somehow we are convinced that purchasing a pill is just as important as providing groceries or paying the bills. For some, persuasion and manipulation is no longer needed once addiction kicks in and when our happiness is chemically distorted. There is a natural remedy out there that will alleviate the anxieties of the working people, which the pharmaceutical compaines don’t want us to know about. I speak of economic stability
Ben,
It’s better living through chemistry. Got a problem - take a pill… People can’t face the economy, the war or the onslaught of fascism. . . So, going to sleep or getting high are the only way to make it all go away. . . Got an oxycontin?
