Reply to comment by NetworkLlama in Why not use hydrogen and deuterium in fusion reaction rather than tritium and deuterium? by Curious_user4445
I have Tritium in my watch that makes it glow in the dark. While probably a minuscule amount, why would this be done if there is such a low supply of Tritium?

What absolute tripe. I was a Libertarian once too. The real world set me straight.
The regulations you speak of - are to ensure the drug is safe and doesn't kill people or have insane side effects. This is to prevent companies from cutting corners that kill people and do harm. This is a good thing.
Even with all the regulations and cost additions, [Pharmaceuticals still sell their drugs for 500%+ markups.](https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/pricing-and-market-access/precise-magnitude-hospital-markups-us/#:~:text=The%20data%20analysis%20indicates%20that,to%20633.6%25%20(leuprolide).
Why? Because they can.
Because sick people cannot shop for market competitive rates, because cancer patients cannot be expected to haggle with their doctors while they're dying.
This is common sense shit. You remove the single guardrail consumers have to protect their interests, their choice, and all you have left is increasingly unfettered greed.
#There are some things that we as a Civilized People should not seek to subject to the profit motive. Human Suffering is among them.
In a free market system, avarice is unleashed and is increasingly what is ailing our society as everything is commoditized as we worship the one true God, the American Dollar.
All instead of helping, protecting, and uplifting the American People. You know, all the things that secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

Ah yes. Because private healthcare is going so swell for us right now, and is totally not greedy businessmen leeching off us citizens as much as human possible as they mark up insulin 1000%.
Municipal Internet is a wonderful counterexample to this 'tread harder daddy' ultra-capitalist bootlicking.

Ukraine does not expect Russians to give up annexed regions of Ukraine.
