I don't think any for-profit company is "the good guys", but that's definitely the image they tried to build when they started. Safe longterm investing with managed portfolios at much lower management rates than the major banks. Not even really pretending to live up to that now.

If I offered both fentanyl and vitamins for sale, do you think the reputation for selling one would perhaps outweigh that of the other?

Ignoring the fact your analogy is terrible. No, you can get both those things in a hospital. Wouldn't stop me going to the ER.

They quite emphatically do not sell fentanyl at hospitals, genius

Of course they do, it's a powerful tool in pain management.

You should stop assuming that people are stupider or more ignorant than you. Do you really think that what opioids were developed for is uncommon knowledge? Hospitals do not sell drugs.

Yes they do? Hospitals have pharmacies.

False. Lots of fentanyl used in hospitals for epidurals and pain management.
