Exactly. Reminder that there was a doctor that wanted to develop a new autoclad that cleaned prions off surgical tools but had to abandon it because he couldn't prove it would be profitable to do so. Fuck capital.

Reminds me of the unbreakable East German glasses that they developed, ultra resistant thin glasses that could be dropped from table height onto a stone floor and wouldn't break 90% of the time. The inventors were puzzled when they tried to export the glasses and found out that no western distributor wanted to sell glasses which wouldn't break periodically
