I swear to god this whole simulation is starting to come apart at the seams.

Goop? Someone named a "modern lifestyle brand" company Goop? And people are actually buying their shit?

I think whoever is running the show should just hand the reigns to the Dwarf Fortress guys. At least their bugs are believable.

An actress, in particular, Gwyneth Paltrow.

It also had a Netflix show in 2020.

i'm not saying anything about the content of infowars but I can't believe how much money people will spend on "supplements", and pills and artificial products. and yet, somehow don't have any money for fruits, vegetables and beans. i can only imagine, there's something broken in how people are being raised.

I once read an inspiring post from a european user who explained why these companies generally succeed. Namely, that formal treatment and healthcare for the underlying condition targeted by the "wellness" product is prohibitively expensive for American customers, and so snakeoil thrives in the absence of legitimate medical science.

you could literally bankrupt these companies in less than a fortnight with single payer healthcare.
