Antidepressants In the Water Are Making Shrimp Suicidal

Antidepressants may help a lot of people get up in the morning but new research shows they are making shrimp swim into that big bowl of cocktail sauce in the sky. Alex Ford, a marine biologist at the University of Portsmouth, found that shrimp exposed to the antidepressant fluoxetine are 5 times more likely to swim towards light instead of away from it. Shrimp usually swim away from light as it is associated with birds or fishermen.

Of course it has.

FTFA:

Prescriptions for antidepressants have skyrocketed in recent years, but this is one of the very first attempts to figure out what ecological impact all that pharmaceutical sewage could have.

We've got to keep our emotions down. Keep a stiff upper lip. Do our part. Keep America humming. Can't show weakness. All that horseshit.

Why?

Because corporate America demands it! Don't like it! You're unemployable! You don't "fit in" - etc.... etc... etc....

Want to know where to place the blame? Look at the Fortune 500. Goddamn motherfuckers are run by sociopaths.

Suck it in! Business is more important than anything!

Don't believe me?

Whenever a politician passes a law to help someone (yeah, I know a rare occurrence ), some SOB says, "It'll hurt business!" Low and behold, the motherfucking politician changes the law!

Yeah, someone peed in my Cheereos this morning.
