Dr. Pillsworth is a chemist that spent an inordinate amount of time and resources studying how to turn on and off the parts of the body that have discomfort.

Just one of his remedies causes several side effects that require remedies of their own. So, I guess he has mastered the art of controlling mental and physical dependency.

In certain areas of the world, he can charge practically whatever he wants for his solutions…solutions to problems his other solutions have created!

Somehow, humans went from surviving for over 200,000 years using nature's remedies, to being convinced we need this doctors’ synthesized chemicals.

Ask your local doctor if they make commission for selling medicine.

Better yet, tell me about your pharmaceutical expenses and I’ll give you a pulse on just how much this guy squeezes out of a piggy bank!

Do you spend money on medication and healthcare?

Yes

No

This is Ash. He built up the nicotine industry by offering money to celebrities if they used his products in media.

This made the image of a successful, popular, or influential person look complete with a cigarette or cigar.

The effect this had on the population is the misconception that smoking gets you admired and accepted by your peers.

Eventually, the truth came out that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. It causes cancer and siphons millions of dollars from from piggy banks across the world!!

Not to mention, it kills as many Americans as the second World War each year (492,438 last year).

Do you want to see how much of your money is going to go up in smoke if you use nicotine?

Yes

No

Quite possibly, the most innocent appearing addiction is that of caffeine.

Kaffy is a friendly face early in the morning; always seeming eager to help you start your day with a cup of joe.

Here's how his business works: once you consume coffee, your body jump starts and runs harder than it naturally would.

Over time, this shocks the system and tires it out causing "crashes" where the body fatigues rapidly once it has processed the drink.

The fatigue leads to restlessness and sometimes insomnia; often leaving the consumer with poor sleep.

When they wake, they are still fatigued and unrested; desperately requiring a jump start to begin their work day. Guess who’s there?

Do you want to know how many of your beans this friendly face wants to brew?

Yes

No

Chuggs synthesized a liquid potion that effects the brain in a unique way.

Alcohol numbs the senses causing a drinker to be less focused. Which, in turn, builds false confidence.

By stripping away a person's focus, they do not calculate natural fear and instinctual awareness. This makes them sloppy and arrogant.

Could this be the reason for so many drunk fights and drunk driving problems...?

What appears as a good time is, in reality, an escape from reality and responsibility. Everyone can temporarily be happy when they drown their troubles in alcohol.

But to remain in this illusion of happiness, one must be constantly consuming the potion.

Ms. Adrena Seasons has studied her big brothers’ efforts in hopes of surpassing their profits!

She saw the enjoyment and popularity of video games in modern culture and saw an opportunity to profit!

Capitalizing on technology and the tribal human culture of storytelling, Ms. Seasons has designed a way to draw gamers into a story enough to become emotionally invested.

At this point, she places a price on the remainder of the story. She calls them Season Passes. Have you heard of them?

Lately, she’s been designing cheaper forms of games under the guise of Free to Play offerings.

These develop an addictive behavior in the player first, then proceed to set the odds of winning the game out of reach or makes winning incredibly time consuming.

Guess who sells the cheat code style items that solve the time sink and difficulty curve?

She will sell you an intangible item like it’s oxygen. Do you play games?

Yes

No

Lucky is his name: getting you to want to be him is his game!

He created a massive industry that preys on individual’s lack of opportunity to build wealth through traditional means.

Gambling mixes entertainment, adrenaline, and the dream of being able to have more than one’s current life situations allow.

The government even participates in this addiction by hosting lotteries and selling miniature games like scratcher cards.

Can you imagine how much money this industry cheats piggy banks out of?!

You could probably buy a house with your lost chips! Do you gamble?

Yes

No

Chef Grubbs serves up gourmet or fast food.

He keeps the healthy food high priced and the easy to produce and unhealthy foods cheap!

This keeps the poor in a position to need to buy bargain burgers if they're not in the mood to cook and the wealthy overpaying to achieve a healthy diet.

He has one of the most profitable industries and keeps his employees at starving wages. This requires them to depend on a gratuity system; which is basically pity payments based on their servitude.

Out of any industry that shouldn't have shareholders, this one takes the cake!

Are you ready to see how much of your money Chef Grubbs is planning to BBQ?

Yes

No
