Jacking up prices on insulin and Epi-pens, abandoning production of drugs for "orphan" diseases, massive ad campaigns for expensive drugs with horrible side effects, Oxycontin, Viagra, Ozempic, etc.

Hugè profits off drugs developed with tax dollars.

Poor big Pharma. Always getting credit for the research of others and screwing the public.
