The Next Big Thing

[anna_wing]

Now that the GLP-1 agonists are dealing with obesity and its long train of expensive medical consequences (as well as, apparently, a lot more conditions mostly to do with other forms of overconsumption), obviously the next universal problem the solution of which will make a lot of people and companies Very Very Rich is:

BALDNESS.

This isn't just a problem for men, though they have the most visible problem. But women lose hair too, and given the social importance of hair for women it's something with serious psychological effects for them too. Find a way to reverse and prevent baldness or thinning hair, and the world will build a six-lane expressway to your door.

You're absolutely right. And at age 68, I'm eagerly awaiting my turn to zoom along that six-lane expressway.

Me too! Losing weight improved the hair loss as part of the general improvement in my health (alas, this was in 2019, before GLP-1 drugs became widely known, so I had to do it the hard way), but it's still a lot thinner than it was when I was young, or than I would like.

Thye're already selling weight loss drugs with "internet" prescriptions (which is also how I get my medical cannabis). And the other thing they sell that way is pecker pills (drugs to cure erectile dysfunction). Men are usually more worried about their sexual performance than they are about their hair.
