Once you start noticing this it drives you crazy. For instance, there’s been a recent effort by tye media and democrats to attack Thomas and Alito for financial conflict of interest, revolving around stuff like going on vacation with rich friends. Meanwhile, pharma companies sign multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with *medical schools* and nobody bats an eye. I wrote about it here:

As you can see in there, people used to care, media used to write big stories about it, then pharma spent even more money and much of it on media advertising, and poof, all the stories went away…

Maybe Congress should get off their collective asses and pass some legislation banning this? But nah, why would they? I’m sure none of them trade on the inside info they get from NIH minions. How else could former non-practicing attorneys become millionaires?
