      That’s not unregulated capitalism, it’s mixed regulatory, with regulatory capture capitalism.

      Unregulated would mean that I could set up a lab in the basement of the abandoned farm building next door and produce untested insulin cheaply enough to undercut the whole market.

        Someone gets it…we don’t have capitalism, we have a system where regulations are used by corps to buy politicians to kill their competitors.
