A joint study between Yale University, King’s College Hospital in London and Doctors Without Borders found a single shot could be made for just 89 cents.
As Bruce Wayne he dumps a ridiculous amount of money into Gotham. Food banks, orphanages, hospitals, schools, employment programs, all funded by Bruce Wayne or Wayne Enterprises.
Any other city would be a utopia with the philanthropic support he gives; it’s not his fault Gotham is literally cursed
Then they’d just fake the costs of R&D. The US has lots of money, so everyone is charging more; notice how they charge way less in other countries (like $150-250, which is only ≈4,000% markup). That the US average income ($70K) is way different than the US median income ($40K), except for District of Columbia ($80K)… well, whose fault is that?
This seems harsh. Maybe they should just lose their patents sooner.
It worked for Batman and he grew up wanting to help others.
If by “help” you mean buy cool toys and beat the shit out of people while wearing skin-tight rubber and lycra (not that I’m kink-shaming, mind)…

There should be a limit, like they lose exclusivity when they break even plus 5% or 10% of the total cost of RD or something.
Those numbers will be manipulated. Good line of thought, keep working on the solution.
Yeah obviously, maybe a time limit then but that can also be moved somehow… The only solution to greedy corps is a solid government…
You can squeeze the rich for 2 years then it’s generic
US states should probably set a price limit based on median income, like from Puerto Rico’s $20K/yr, to District of Columbia’s $80K/yr:

Price limits and such are fine but you can’t beat generics for putting pressure on price.
