This was exactly my thought. Go out and say something horrific like "these were ugly girls who would never have been raped by Jeff or me" and the media will say something vomitous like "Trump differs on Epstein accusers account"

Go listen to the first few episodes of Newsom's podcast and see how willing he is to try to appeal to right wingers and throw the vulnerable under the bus. He's doing a great job as a thorn in Trump's side, but he's not suitable for President.

Well, the original statement was entirely detached from reality and how things work. Sorry to bring things back to earth. I think we should all have food, shelter, and be able to afford health care, but feeling that way isn't enough to change human greed and entrenched capitalism.

Exactly right. It takes a huge amount of expertise, facilities, and tech to make GMP medicines for humans. If someone leaked the process before the patent was filed, some generics would just instantaneously file the patent. It's a nice thought, but as rational as "What if everything was free?"
