Legal drugs in the land of Big Pharma are the worst. The side effects on some drugs are hilarious. I’ve seen multiple anti-depressants that cited “suicidal tendencies” as a side effect. What? “I’m not sad anymore at all, doctor. But now I want to kill myself.” Or there is the uncanny ability of anti-psychotic drugs […]

Reid thinks one of the major problems with the online signup process is that people aren’t educated on how to use the internet: We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to […]
