Holy fucking shit is this ww2 era communist Russia? Yea the public good trumps all and I wish the US was more socialized but that is fucking insane.
Some company funds R&D for a product with their own money and sells it at their own price and since we as a society deem it too high we throw them in jail? Yea we need reforms but acting like an extremist doesn't help.
There are laws to throw you in jail if you don't buy it from them at $80k and try to buy it from Canada, Mexico or India instead where they sell it for a fraction of the US price.
There are even laws making it illegal for the government to try to negotiate the price for medicaid/medicare.
So why not laws to protect the price?
We can regulate the consumer side but not the manufacturer side of the price?
Don't fall for the illusion that corporations are people and deserve freedom to price things however absurdly when there is a crisis.
