Ever notice how the system seems rigged? Big pharmaceutical companies and regulatory bodies like the FDA operate with an alarming level of interconnection—the classic revolving door that's been normalized for decades. It's not just incompetence; it's structural corruption embedded into the system. People move from FDA positions straight into pharma executives roles, and vice versa. Loyalty flows both ways. When regulatory bodies are supposed to check corporate power but officials benefit from those same corporations, where's the actual oversight? This is exactly why decentralized systems matter—because centralized institutions create these perverse incentives by default. The problem isn't new, but ignoring it only perpetuates the cycle.
