    I wholeheartedly agree with the message, but my man, this is anything but a generic meme.

    Feel like you missed an opportunity by not saying “Capitalism Crookbook”.

    Not really informed on this subject: Does “he sold the patent for 1$” mean anyone is free to make it, or does it mean some company got the rights despite his intention to make it cheap?

    If it’s the first why isn’t there a non profit making it to lower the cost?

      Here’s an interesting paper about that https://waxmanstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Nonprofit-Pharmaceutical-Companies-White-Paper.pdf

      Basically US tax codes make being a non profit pharma company very difficult.

      Non profits don’t appeal to investors.

      The supply chain is dominated by big pharma.

      Non profits still have to pay large fees to the FDA

      Medicaid forces a 23.1% rebate on the lowest priced drugs that make it difficult to keep their prices low.

      TLDR the Industry is not designed for non profits.

    Now I know why the US is the biggest porn producer of the world: they get fucked all day long anyway so why not film it?
