       @aral Name a social system in existence today in which that isn‘t the case.It‘s more drastic in Authoritanism and any Feudalism, I would wager.Whereas real socialism, Idk if it ever existed?

       @catarinac @aral The only solution is going need to be a change to IP laws. Drug companies are price gouging while doing research to develop with public money. They are down locking the production so we cant have them doing that anymore.

       @Vallaferescense @catarinac @aral Prime example is the guy, Ronald Plasterk, who almost became Prime Minister of the Netherlands.. patented under his name the cancer medicine he didn't invent, then earned 32 million Euro when selling his company. Amsterdam Medical Center and researcher who did the work, got nothing.Now he resigned his candidacy with a "I did nothing wrong, acted with integrity". And under hypercapitalism what he did is indeed normal, the norm. 😡 https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/05/ethical-queries-cast-doubt-over-plasterks-hopes-of-becoming-pm/
