15 Things You Might Notice if the Auto Industry Operated Like Big Pharma
by Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, NewsTarget.com
What if you had to buy your next car from an auto industry that operated like the big drug companies?
1.
Your average car would cost $4.5 million, representing a 30,000 percent
markup over cost, which is typical for prescription drugs. Automakers
would justify this price by saying they needed the money to fund
research and development, but in reality, most of their research would
be funded by taxpayer dollars through government grants and university
research centers.
2. That exact same car could be purchased in Mexico or Canada for under $5,000.
3.
Automakers would lobby Congress to outlaw or regulate alternative forms
of transportation such as bicycles and airplanes, forcing Americans to
rely exclusively on cars. Explanation: The drug industry works hard to
discredit alternative medicine, herbs and nutritional supplements,
hoping to force consumers to rely on drugs alone.
4.
Cars with no safety systems (no seatbelts, no airbags, no crumple
zones) would be declared perfectly safe by federal regulators. Car
companies, rather than address this lack of safety features, would
focus on publicizing the dangers of riding bicycles. Explanation: The
FDA currently approves deadly drugs as “safe.” Meanwhile, drug
companies ignore the dangers of their own drugs and, instead, try to
get people to believe that herbs or vitamins are dangerous.
5.
The manufacturers of those cars with no safety systems would grow tired
of being sued by customers who were injured in their cars, and they
would lobby Congress to pass “legal reform” that would immunize all car
companies against class action lawsuits. Explanation: Drug companies
are currently trying to get Congress to pass laws that would make it
illegal for consumers to sue for damages. This would shield them from
the financial consequences of their dangerous products that kill
hundreds of thousands each year.
