How then shall we think about the economy?

The mass poisoning of society by Pharma and other industries renders obsolete many heretofore existing models of economic activity
The United States is now organized around producing poison (Pharma, pesticides/plastics, Frankenfood), war (military contractors), energy (oil, natural gas, coal), and forgetting (the big media industries that produce stories that narcotize society into ignoring how bad things are).
Big Finance provides capital for all of this and Big Tech/Big Data provide vast surveillance systems that give the ruling class unprecedented insights into the thoughts, feelings, and actions of every person in the developed world — that they then use to manipulate behavior.
Because these big industries own the political and regulatory system we are now living under a new form of fascism — not a partnership between industry and government but government as a wholly owned subsidiary of industry.
In the short term, this structure is great for increasing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Pharma poisons everyone with vaccines (a $50 billion industry pre-Covid, now closer to $100 billion annually in the U.S.). That causes widespread injury and now families/government/insurers have to spend money on asthma inhalers, Epi pens, Risperdal, ADHD meds, epilepsy treatments, cancer treatments, etc. (a $500 billion industry pre-Covid, now probably closer to $1 trillion annually because of blood clots, heart disease, and strokes from mRNA shots). Because Pharma and other poisonous industries cause neurological injury this drives up the cost of education as now we need more instructional aides and school nurses. Across society, demand increases for psychologists and police officers. Neurological injury also drives up other costs such as supportive housing for those who cannot live with their families (ancillary, non-medical costs are a $250 billion industry currently that will rise to $1 trillion a year in the next few years).
Pharma is upriver from everything that happens in our economy because they begin poisoning almost everyone in utero so everything that happens after that is in some way shaped by Pharma’s toxic chemical assault. And the ruling class is getting rich from this ongoing mass poisoning system (that creates the autism industry, the cancer industry, the diabetes industry, the ADHD industry, etc.).
The article has completely missed the elephant in the room: Big Food.
Big Food has done far more damage to the global population, especially in the West, than any of the other parasitic players, like Big Pharma.
Most western populations are sick and generally die early, due to metabolic diseases, caused by processed food intake, and high carbohydrate diets.
Perfect storm coming, where metabolic disease encounters a collapse of sovereign debt and socialism. At a minimum, we get a 5 year depression and a massive cull as a result.
When most are sick and dying slowly, economic models become redundant.
BTW, cancer is a metabolic disease. Cause: diet.
Your point is well taken and correct. However, people can choose to eat processed foods and or overeat themselves into bad health or not. Some of the newer things disscussed are not a choice of behavior but an attack on the population by govts and corporations.
