    I mean, cigarette makers used to market to kids too. This isn’t novel. Hook em early. I’m sure some modern drug dealers use the same old technique.

      Apparently food too, means testing until they find the optimal profitable fat/sugar ratio palateness and bam, one snickers and you’re hooked. Dopamine addictions and people who dopamine chase (adhd, etc.) is some of the coldest capitalist shit ever and it’s taking advantage of people.

      Highly doubt drug dealers go this low since they would be punished pretty easily…

      A legal person on the other hand appears to be immune…

      Check out Catholic church, they let their “clergy” fuck kids and government won’t do anything about it because … We still don’t know why tbh

      I guess fuck ur kids.
