But that’s even more confusing. What profit is to be made from a bunch of people getting the flu? It makes people miss work and it kills people. Who is pushing this? Big Nyquil?
No, your healthcare is tied to your job, so you can’t miss work. If you’re sick, you can’t risk losing your job.
But yeah, on a smaller scale, disease is profitable. I’m not saying “they don’t cure cancer because it’s more profitable to treat” (cancer is a group of diseases with no magic bullet), but it’s significantly less effort to sell nyquil than to produce an actual pharmaceutical cure for the common cold.
Yes, we all do better when we all do better in the long run. But they want to do even more better for themselves now. Because they know how delayed the find out part of them fucking around can be. They’ll likely be dead. And it might be their children’s problem. But it certainly won’t be theirs.
Yes, but not immediately, and before then there’s profit to be extracted!
