america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

Modern drugs cost tens of millions of dollars to develop at a minimum, and can easily reach into the billions.

And usually subsidized with public money.

If only there was a class of people with so much money we could tax the whole amount from them and they wouldn't even notice.
