Medicine should never have been privatized in the first place. The concept of profiting off of human desperation and the need for life-saving medicine is, philosophically, intrinsically, and morally wrong both as a fundamental concept and in practice. The fact that Martin Shkreli was ever able to buy an AIDS drug and increase its price 5000% is indicative of a problem even bigger than a truly evil, despicable, and selfish human being; it is indicative of the problem of the current system of for-profit pharmaceuticals with obviously inadequate price regulation.

"what makes us human" oh I know this one! use of fire led to the development of cooking led to dietary changes that enabled brain growth. this, plus the light and warmth provided by fire, allowed early hominids to spend time socializing around the hearth, encouraging the development of language and furthering our abilities to communicate, eventually leading to the unprecedented cooperation needed to create and organize human societies.

so it's a combination of food, language, friendliness and cooperation, all thanks to pyromaniacal tendencies and our massively enormous fat heads!

“unprecedented times” these times were completely precedented and also the completely predictable consequence of our deeply broken sociopolitical systems
