A month without all prescription drugs and I would be dead. If not dead, at least a drooling mass of protoplasm. I remember a 2004 movie entitled, “A Day Without a Mexican.” The movie is mainly a comedy, but with some serious tension which could only be achieved in one day in Southern California when 31% of the population went poof.
I’m thinking that a great sci-fi movie could be made in which all pharmacies evaporate for a month, or even a day, would we all be deceased or just brain dead? Would it be any different than it is now? Some would be dead-dead, for sure, and some would go on as usual. Brain dead. What about just eliminating insulin? Bi-partisan carcasses everywhere or just sugarcoated Democrats? No worries for Republicans; they have a year’s stash at Mar-a-Largo that the FBI doesn’t know about.
It would definitely give a mega-boost to the Mary Jane and Cop industries. Lots of wheat field conversions in Oregon and Washington and Idaho border arrests. We Spudsters would have to buy Camo Cessnas so that would mean a big boost to the private plane industry. Buy one Cessna, get one free. Biden would give me, the producer, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Gravy from there on. The Wife gets a diamond and a fur coat, Republicans lose elections right and left, God drops by for coffee, climate change halts, et. cetera, ad nauseum. It would definitely fulfill my lifelong dream of saving the world.
