      Should I have added “nationalize it and make future research funded and owned by the public”? (A lot of public funding already goes to medical research, but the profits get privatized.)

      Private corporations researching medications so they can price gouge the chronically ill through a copyright-enforced monopoly isn’t the only way to do medical research.

        The public is definitely not benefitting enough from the research they fund als also the price gouging at the cost of sick people is very problematic, but I’m not in favour of beheading bad people. But I understand that the longer decision makers continue to allow these bad people to do these bad things, the more likely it becomes the guillotine makes an appearance.
