To understand why so many Americans have such contempt for the pharmaceutical industry, read this NY Times explainer on how a company gamed the patent system to enrich executives and shareholders -- and rip off everyone else. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/business/humira-abbvie-monopoly.html
The thing is, what the company did is legal. So if you're looking for who made it possible for sleazy corporations to do this, look at Congress, too.

They called many things when he unveiled his creation. "Genius" wasn't in that list. But he was. This "abomination" was feared by every scientist. The feared thing would make them obsolete. They didn't understood that without them, the Automatic Brain was a pile of metal and crystal. It needed their input, their minds, to do its job. Yes, the machine he built would develop a mind and maybe a soul, but it wouldn't made them obsolete. It would made them immortal…

There should be no such thing as a "traffic stop" for any reason not involving immediate danger to life or health. Someone is speeding? Take a picture and send them a ticket. Someone has a broken tail light? Take a picture and send them a fix-it ticket. Someone ran a red light? Take a picture and send them a ticket. Minor accident with no injuries? Let the insurance companies take care of it.
The idea that it's a good idea to let heavily armed paramilitaries handle these jobs is freaking stupid. None of those tasks require heavily armed assholes.

There is no such thing as a “routine traffic stop.”

Sure, but how well does that work? Well enough for your requirements? How do you know? How do you measure it?
