      Kindly cite some research that supports coming to the conclusion that both the drug and the placebo in question were both of benefit, and equally beneficial.

      I'm betting the farm that that has never occurred in a peer-reviewed study, because sugar-pills aren't prescribed for anything.

            You have been used by a corporation to goose profits by riling up the dependably reactive moron portion of the population.

            In other words, exactly the same strategy the Republican party has used with racism and sexism to do their heists by leveraging the stupidest and most hateful people in America.
            That goes both ways though. You can be sure part of the motivation was to shield themselves from potential attack form the politically correct angry crowd. Remember the outrage over the "Girls toy or Boys toy" from the McDonald's Happy Meal?

            Either way, it is pretty clearly a marketing decision.

                Who helped make and keep them stupid, resentful, and hateful?

                  You should look up the words "if" and "should." They mean different things than "because" and "was."
                  If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                    My only stint in fast food was for three months between my freshman and sophomore year of college. I took the job as an excuse not to move back home for the summer. This was summer of 1999.

                    We were instructed to ask if the child wanted a "barbie or hot wheels" toy with their happy meal. NEVER "girl or boys" toy. Some (most?) parents, with their boy or girl along side, would look at me like I was an idiot when I would ask rather than just pick the toy based on gender of their kids. I did have one mother say "Oh, he'd probably rather have the doll. Thanks!"

                      To be fair I think they took care of that on their own.

                      The Nazis are bad but some bad things they merely exploit, not create.

                          "Of course Mr. Potato Head is man, he has a mustache," say people not quite getting that they're agreeing that it matters which gender one chooses to present themselves to society as that should matter.

                              My favorite is the derps who scream about cancel culture canceling the company.

                              That's almost as dumb as Bill Maher.

                                Republicans have been engaging in cancel culture for years.
