A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

This is the root of it.
Piled on top of that are layers upon layers of middlemen rent-seekers. The amount of parasitic corporate bullshit that goes on behind the scenes whenever you go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription would blow most people's minds.
The good news is, awareness is growing, and there are a few good actors in government trying to do something about it. It's very much an uphill battle, though.
