Get rid of corporate entitlements like patents, obscenely long copyrights, the FDA (yes, it's an entitlement -- see how hard it is for a little guy to compete when the hurdles are so high), etc. etc. and then see how it shakes out.
- eropple 13y ago> the FDA (yes, it's an entitlement -- see how hard it is for a little guy to compete when the hurdles are so high) Would you like to try Ed's Patent Elixir? I promise it won't kill you. It's from a little guy, just tryin' to compete.
- wissler 13y agoIf you're too foolish to do some vetting of what you take, you shouldn't compound that foolishness by stripping away others' right to take novel drugs that might, say, cure their cancer, etc.
- eropple 13y agoI'm not foolish enough to not vet what I take. Or I like to think I'm not. But I can't vet what I would take, because I'm not an expert. Therein lies the problem. And, no, no free-market solution solves this without people fucking dying. Back to mises.org with this silliness, please.
- wissler 13y agoThe fact is that what another person chooses to take is none of your business. You use fearmongering as an irrational pretext to usurp someone's right to choose what they do with their own body, and sadly, that fearmongering works. It just doesn't work on reasonable people, who are in the minority.
