First question - yes, duh. Except it is unrealistic in the context of free market because some other guy will just copy your drug and sell it to me for the cost of half of my life savings. A silly argument you have made.
Second paragraph - get the corrupt politicians out of the picture and the problem solves itself.

A silly argument you have made. What if I have a patent on it? ;) > get the corrupt politicians out of the picture and the problem solves itself. Sounds great! Let's do that!
- hfsktr 9y agoExcept the second guy promised he wouldn't sell you his medicine because he only sells to the people in a different town. Many places have 1 decent internet provider with no opportunity to change providers. Some places have an option if you downgrade significantly enough.
- caconym_ 9y agoExactly; the whole point is that there is not a free market here. Like I said, ISPs are a cartel. It's funny, since these corporate goblins and their government lackeys spout bullshit about free market and competition and innovation and blah blah blah whenever someone asks them to justify their blatantly anti-consumer maneuvering (or something tangentially related).
