> fewer new antibiotics So companies don’t do this, because there is no profit in it? Perhaps, that is the problem with late stage capitalism itself? Everyone wants to become a rent-seeking landlord. What about a societal need? What about for the survival of the human race? This is like arguing that humanity can’t muster up the ingenuity to solve something to save the human race, just because there’s no profit in it. Necessity is the mother of all invention. If there are fewer antibiotics, then maybe this just means that it is not necessary. Sorry folks! You’re just going to have to take your chances with the Grim Reaper! My bank account can’t be bothered to find a cure for you.
