Yep, like we're seeing now with insulin.

Their needs force them to buy the product. If the only one who has it - because they hoarded it - is somebody offering it at an unreasonable price, then they're forced to buy it at that price.

Hardly true. Some things are necessary (resulting in grave consequences for non-purchase) and may not have other suppliers or may be cartelled.

Nowhere in Article II of the Constitution does it say that. It’s as false as the notion that a corporation must maximize return to shareholders as a matter of law.

At most, the Article requires the President to take an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution, but that’s a far cry from requiring he do everything possible to make the USA the most profitable country in the world.

Sometimes putting America first means being an altruistic and cooperative international citizen. PR is real.
