No disagreements here. I am kind of shocked by this very non neolib behavior—the above as well as well as being the first sitting president to join the UAW picket line. I was a bit miffed about the train strike, though. But his administration lobbied the companies and got them their sick days they've been fighting for, for ages. Really didn't expect any of that.
Non neolib? Introducing competition rather than seizing and making them public is about as neolib as you can get.
So by letting a company keep their monopoly due to federally subsidized patent thus harming citizens but helping the company is... less neolib?
Whatever it is, it seems shittier than making a move to fuck a company -- if it results in reduced drug prices anyway.
Where did I say they should be allowed to keep their monopoly?
Yes. Monopolization is one of the many externalities that government exists to address within a neoliberal framework
Neoliberalism is a good thing, actually.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
It's only controversial if your only understanding of economic orthodoxy is Breadtube or some shit lol
