Fwd: Drugs, Thugs and Automobiles

[Guest guest]

Interesting point of view . . .

I thought it would be fun to share this analogy with you to get the Big

Idea of how the big pharmaceutical companies really operate. Enjoy!

15 Ways the Auto Industry Would Change if it Operated Like Drug

Companies

What would happen if you had to buy your car from a company that

operated in the same way as the pharmaceutical industries?

Mike , the Health Ranger, came up with 15 unsettling changes that

would occur.

Cost

----

Your car would cost $4.5 million, a 30,000 percent markup over cost.

The same car would be available in Canada or Mexico for less than

$5,000.

Dealing with Competition

------------------------

Meanwhile, automakers would be lobbying Congress to outlaw bicycles and

airplanes, just as the drug companies try to do with herbs and

nutritional supplements.

All auto imports would be banned. If you drove a Toyota down from

Canada, you would be arrested.

Car dealers would be bribed with money, free vacations, free food, and

free cars by automobile sales representatives to push certain cars.

Safety

------

Cars with no seatbelts, airbags, crumple zones, or other safety systems

would be declared perfectly safe by the FDA, which would instead focus

on the dangers of bicycles.

Driver's Ed programs would be cancelled nationwide, and people would be

encouraged to buy new cars rather than repair damaged ones or avoid

accidents in the first place.

Safety tests showing that cars were dangerous would be buried, and

scientists who produced such results would be prevented from ever

conducting car safety tests again.

After being sued by customers injured in the cars with no safety

systems, automakers would further lobby Congress to pass laws protecting

car companies against class-action lawsuits.

Any federally mandated warnings about car safety problems would be

printed in small type on a tiny label hidden under the driver's seat.

Driving certain cars would cause side effects like loss of sex drive or

full-body muscle pain.

Advertising

-----------

Car companies would heavily promote new models each year, which would be

no different from the ones they were selling 30 years ago.

Car companies would invent reasons for you to buy a dozen or more cars.

Automobile advertising would be filled with pictures of happy, healthy,

energetic drivers, but the cars would break down constantly, fail to

perform as promised, and quickly stop working.

Cars would be sold to you with extra features like a sunroof, air

conditioning, or a navigational system, but when the car arrived none of

these features would be included, just as drug companies exaggerate the

" multiple health benefits " of their products.

This helps you kinda get a handle on the thinking the big drug guys and

their profit machine think.

Makes you wonder....

In service,
