These kinds of takes have legs because the capitalist parasite class really does value profit a lot more than your life or mine. When a drug company finds a cure for blindness and decides to charge almost a million dollars for it, you can't really argue that they have your best interest in mind, or even a shred of human decency. That said, the take posted is not how it really works. If they discovered a drug that cured asthma in 3 days they'd patent it and sell it for a million dollars. They've already done it for other ailments. No one can argue they wouldn't.

Nope two truths is a negative we need one more guy.
I worked at Pfizer for 17 years.
We didn't discover drugs - we discovered markets.
If a drug cured asthma in 3 days - we'd kill it.
Chronic disease.
is where the money is.
Cures are bad for business.

My dad worked at Nintendo for a billion years. He said Nintendo is the one that has all of Xbox’ good games.
So gatcha mechanics would be like "chronic gaming" eh?
do you want less people listening to doctors , and turning anti vaxx? Because that's how you do it.
Pharmaceutical companies are not great, but they are still making necessary medicine.
Well if you're unvaxed and spreading diseases, more patients, more medical money!! Can't go wrong with that!
Who said that?
John Pfizer duh
So if this person no longer works for Pfizer, spill the beans! Tell us about all of the cures that it killed.

Part of why it's this way is the expense of getting anything approved! I blame our bureaucracy as much as I blame those types
That's what stops a lot of bullshit entering the market.
You're oblivious to blame regulations on this.
And digital cameras are bad for the film business. If you don’t invent it someone else will.
