    Methinks I’d prefer that bacterial treatment that helps regrow teeth. Or the one that triggers the third set. Or the others I’ve heard of over the past few decades, that would be a cheap (mere pennies) one-time treatment, that curiously somehow never made it to market. Rather than being hozed of my wealth to give someone a bullshit job. Don’t you just love the perverse incentives in this “economy”?

    Still… it’s very impressive, doing it the long way around, the hard way. And in our agnotologically abused state, oblivious to the suppressed cheap easy ways, it’s so very very impressive, we marvel at the skilled class, and bow before them, pleading in desperation for their blessing us with salvation, as they’re the one true god, of whatever it is they’ve anti-competitively cornered the market at.

    “Wheeeeee. I’m so glad we’re free, honey. What time’s American Gladiators on. Are we missing it?”… <- somehow that Bill Hicks bit sprang to mind. Like akin to the “keep repeating, we are free”, here we’re induced to “keep repeating, we’re in the future”.
