    Looks like the EU’s motto is “who needs fairness when we can chase profits?” 😂 Let’s just hope our pharmaceutical companies don’t get too comfy on their thrones while the rest of us keep grinding.

    Looks like the EU’s got its priorities straight – who needs fair treatment when we can have a little more profit in the pharmaceutical pocket, right? 💸 Typical EU hustle, making sure the big boys play nice while we all carry the can! 😏

    If we’re gonna ease up on pharma rules, maybe we should just hand them a ‘get out of jail free’ card while we’re at it, eh? 😂 Just what we need, more ‘competitiveness’ while equality takes a backseat. Cheers to progress! 🍻

    Just what we need, more rules that sound good in theory but are as useful as a chocolate teapot. Good luck getting the big pharma lot to play nice now! 😂💼

    Oh brilliant, let’s just roll out the red carpet for big pharma while telling everyone we care about equal treatment at work! 🙄 Nothing like a good ol’ dose of hypocrisy to keep the wheels of industry greased, eh?
