There's a lot of work/investment into curative cell and gene therapies that are very promising! Some have already received FDA approval with high success rates of curing some childhood cancers and sickle cell disease
The original “this doesn’t need to be a subscription”
It's an entirely efficient way to allocate resources if the goal is "shareholder enrichment".
It's also why so many really good TV shows and series get canceled.
The money is not being invested to create an art project.
It's being invested in hopes of a gigantic return, and the instant it seems like there will not be a gigantic return the money goes away.
That's why you do not often see several hundred million dollar productions of original material unless it's a passion project for a specific director or studio.
That's why we've had, what is it, 10 Spider-Man movies in the last 25 years?
I get you can't just throw money away but I feel like there should at the very least be some sort of clause and a contract that says that if your show gets canceled then you will be provided the timing and funding to either finish up the season that you are in and provide a finale or two at the very least provide a finale.
Did you confuse capitalism with morality again?
This has got to stop happening
Would that be called profitalism?
Why be redundant? It's still capitalism.
Now let me preface this by saying "I hate Trump"
One of the few things that I have hope for with the proposed cuts to the FDA is that is wont cost as much money to research possible treatments/drugs/cures so the lower profitability drugs and treatments might actually get a look in. Not saying the drugs companies arent predatory AF but spending hundreds of millions to make tens of millions is just bad business.
Ok, Sherlock.
