Pharmaceutical corporations don't create solutions to problems, they create problems to market their "solutions". And conveniently enough, those "solutions" also create more problems for them to "solve", what a coincidence!

As someone who works at a pharma company I'm just going to point out that there are competing interests at big pharma companies. The people working on new drugs are absolutely trying to solve problems. Problem is that marketing and finance departments are going to prioritize profit motive over other factors.

Well yeah, the issue here is that the higher-ups in the company are going to side with finance/marketing, and marketing and finance already have more power and sway. If they didn't, things like the insulin argument would be a moot point.

Insulin and people like Martin Shrekle (wtf ever his name was) are the prime examples.
I'm just saying that we do create solutions but in the modern day i would say many of the new drugs are extremely obscure and you never hear of it because only a tiny fraction of the population has the disease which requires the drug. Or it becomes a new version of an anticancer drug and you only take it if you have a specific type of cancer.
This is one of the issues with Lupron the anti puberty drug. It was designed for a condition like precocious puberty or a bleeding uterus. It works for those people but an extremely tiny number of people suffer from these conditions. Somehow they convinced the medical community to prescribe it off label with zero testing beforehand to children.
