"Government intervention", maybe in Europe. Would never happen here. Our leaders are so in thrall to corporate interests that they won't even regulate the cost of basic, lifesaving drugs (insulin, inhalers, Epipens.) Or negotiate reasonable drug discounts. Or outlaw use of carcinogenic pesticides. Or do anything but rubber-stamp every merger that comes across their desks, even if will clearly limit competition and harm consumers.
There has been movement to the contrary late in the Biden administration on many of these fronts, but it's hard to feel like it's anything more than token election year PR moves to motivate that part of his base which wants government to actually, like, make people's lives better and stuff. Because honestly, Genocide Joe, nee the "Senator from MBNA" is just as compromised as the rest.
