Quite an opener, do you practice hyperbole often?

Fairness is whatever two people will agree to pay for a service.

Imagine how silly it would be if we all paid the same amount for seats on an airline - which is how it worked before deregulation. Many seats would go empty, the utility would not be maximized, and we'd be missing out on the great transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor.

And everybody also generally hates the airlines and feels the pricing is unfair because of this.

You might say that without it airplanes would not fly at all, and you might be right. But it's incredulous to claim that without these profits the medicine would not exist at all; it has existed already for 5 decades. (And we have patents as a system specifically designed to allow for funding the creation of drugs)
