I've heard Cialis is less than a dollar a pill on the street.  Penicillin or amoxicillin is cheap and OTC, as well.

Viagra is about 50 cents a pill, but they want a prescription now. Asked for a friend

Where do you get it at that low a price? It is $1 a pill here and that's for the generic stuff.... At least that's what my friend says.

I haven't been to the PI in a while,  but a friend told me he bought 100 pills for around $43 back in 2014.  Think he was in Angeles City at the time.

 

And it wasn't generic, it was in original Pfizer packaging.

This is why I would not support Bernie.  I do realize that I have a spouse that has experienced the wonders of a socialist/communist utopia, and I wish folks would really study history before falling for the Free Lunch being offered by Bernie and the other Democrat pool of hopefuls.

 

Bernie Sanders: Well Actually, Breadlines Aren’t Quite So Bad

 

Of course, this resulted in conservatives “pouncing” on an unsavory video from the mid-1980s in which Sanders articulates his support for breadlines, in what could reasonably be called the best “well actually” of all time. When asked about breadlines in Nicaragua and Sanders’ support for Sandinistas, the senator quipped: “It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries people don’t line up for food: the rich get the food and the poor starve to death.”

 

He acts as if this is some sort of trump card that invalidates criticism of breadlines, but people waiting miserably in line for hours to receive basic (and scant) provisions due to horrific food shortages, is pretty far from most sane people’s concept of a productive economy. Imagine the opportunity cost: people standing in lines for hours, as a part of a daily or weekly ritual to get bread and soap and milk, means these people will not be able to work or pursue any enjoyable or fulfilling activities during this time.

Lost innovation and productivity is certainly an argument against breadlines, but for those swayed by the idea of unshackling people from capitalism so they can have more free time and pleasure, don’t assume that standing in breadlines is a happiness upgrade by any stretch of the imagination.

Even more so, his basic premise is flawed. Does he mean capitalist countries are those in which the rich get the food and the poor starve to death (perhaps a hyperbolic statement on income inequality)? Because that’s mostly false. In 1820, 94 percent of the global population lived in extreme poverty. By 1990, this figure had dropped to around 30 percent, and by 2015, it hovered around 9.6 percent.
