    Many prescription medications are dead simple to produce, especially the latest biologics. I could make my own professionally and in quantity with only about $500k in startup costs.

      That’s… not even remotely true.

      You’re saying you could do the manufacturing, analytical chemistry, packaging, and distribution? And stick to GMP? And deal with FDA audits?

      Or do you just watch a lot of NileRed?

    Damn, OP has high standards for this to qualify as “mildly” interesting.

    For now it’s just naloxone and insulin that you can buy, and schools can buy albuterol inhalers. It’s a great start, though.
