Hope our descendants enjoy paying for life long drugs to prevent a number of diseases (fingers crossed anyway)

    If you’ve ever had someone close to you develop alzheimers, especially family where it was then more likely that you would develop it, you would have no problem paying for drugs to prevent it for life. It’s probably the cruelest thing that can happen to a person in life.

    Two of my grandparents had it, I’ll probably get it if I last that long

    And would you take a tablet a day to prevent it? As someone in roughly the same situation as you, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

    Trump killed over 80% of all Alzheimer's research, as well as cancer.

    Ah, if only Alzheimer's or cancer would kill him for a change.

    To be fair, Alzheimer's won't kill the body, only the mind. And listening to the gibbering fuck talk, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we're watching it happen in real time. Which is cool and good.
