Another potential side effect of Ozempic and similar drugs could further reduce the price of chicken wings. Amazing!

Did you know...15% of Americans surveyed have personally used Ozempic for weight loss, while 47% know someone who has. https://www.tebra.com/theintake/medical-deep-dives/tips-and-trends/research-searching-for-ozempic

LOL no, companies will keep their profit margins and charge more.

Ozempic should sponsor the Olympics.

After all these Ozempic users start dying from upset tummies and clogged poopers prices will go down. Duh.

Total lack of self-discipline is very prevalent indeed. Almost no one on these medications actually *need* it. They just have no will power.

This should be required for food stamps recipients

You are an economics illiterate.
Companies don’t get to pick their profit margin, unless maybe they are government contractors bribing the politicians.

Hell, most of the women in my office are on it and have talked openly about it.

You could just not eat total garbage for every meal. Very, very few people truly cannot maintain a reasonably healthy weight with a decent diet and even a half-arse attempt at an active lifestyle.

Pharmacuticals sure as frick do
Also, setting a price is picking a profit margin, just the market will then decide it it is worth it
Go to costplusdrugs and look at the difference for Viagra
