As a business paradigm, the pharmaceutical industry makes money by selling their products and services. A business becomes prosperous by selling more and more and more - right?
Do you think that if pharmaceutical products and services actually #cure patient ailments, their targeted market gets smaller and smaller?
Will their shareholders want their pharmaceutical companies to sell more or less products and services?
What am I missing?

If it's true that identity is fluid and we can be whatever we identify as; and if it's also true that all power is wielded by old white men - why don't minorities of all ilks identify as old white men?
