    Am I the only one who thinks companies providing healthcare and life saving medicines shouldn’t be fucking publicly traded?? They need to focus on helping humanity, not the fucking bottom line go up or whatever.

      Well yes that’s obvious

      It’s supposed to be publicly funded, not traded

      Someone a long time ago must have misheard

        Except it’s actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.

          Publicity traded, AKA shareholders leverage the company to make return on their investment and this company also receives public money just for the hell of it? Wow, what a combination. Totally not a setup for major exploitation.
