„The government“ also doesn’t „enforce“ patents, companies have found a way to make small changes to drugs to keep them perpetually patented. The recent price drops of insulin in the US are the *result of government intervention *.

Please do get lost with you Alex Jones r/conspiracy drivel, thx.

You mean the cheap kind you can get at walmart, or the fast acting stuff everyone complains about being expensive? I mean, I don't think anyone is claiming that the cheap atuff is too expensive, they're always talking about the fast acting kind or so they say, so that's what I'm talking about too, since I was directly referencing people complaining about expensive insulin, you see.

Nonetheless, though I may not be super up on which megacorporation holds patents for which drug, and in essence they're all exactly the same to me since they operate the same way in terms of patents, the fact that corporation "A" holds the patent instead of corporation "B" is a nonfactor, just replace the name in your head. Hit f12 and edit it if you really lack the imagination to just insert the correct corporation and keep reading.

The government doesn't enforce patents, eh? Ok, so what specifically happens if you start selling shit patented by "a corporation of your choosing?" Pinkertons? Well maybe if we're talking about 1800s Wells Fargo, or current WOTC, but that is rare. No unless I'm mistaken it's usually "court" which unless I'm mistaken is part of "the judicial branch" of "our government."

Face it, the government and corporations being in bed is not only "a bad thing" but is just as much a fault of "the government" as "the corporations." Hating one is only hating half the problem.
