They will if their patents are stolen.
If a manufacturer is penalized for price gouging, they'll have to think twice about whether they want to do that again.
You don't need to worry about their profits. As long as they can make a profit, they'll stay in business, or else somebody else will replace them.
Just because a lawmaker passes a law does not mean it is constitutional or our form of democracy.
The remedy for that is the courts. If the manufacturers want to take it to court, a judge or jury will tell them if the law is constitutional, and they can appeal the judgment if they like.
Where in the constitution does it allow the president to take away a patent from a private company?
The Constitution also doesn't say that you can't revoke a patent for cause. It also doesn't say that abortion can be banned, either. It also doesn't say that speeding tickets can be issued, or that foreign military bases can be established, or that proprietors can trespass unwanted customers. I think you get the point.
The Constitution describes how the government is set up. The details of how the country operates are worked out by legislatures and the courts.
You have bought into the dem lies about Trump.
I don't get my opinions about Trump from the Democrats or any editorial source. I get them from hearing and reading Trump.
I can see what the man is without help from anybody beyond those that film and print those words and report his deeds: he's a pathological liar (I hear him lie myself; nobody needed to tell me that), a career criminal and conman (we saw that with his "charity," his "university," his NY business judgment, and his felony convictions), a traitor (insurrectionist, stole state secrets), a wannabe dictator (he said so, and he admires and envies other dictators), a stochastic terrorist (we've heard his words and seen the insurrection and the death threats that have resulted), a sexual predator (according not just to his accusers, but also, the courts), and a serial adulterer (according to his ex-wives).
Those are MY opinions, not received opinions.
You, on the other hand, have been lied to by the Republicans who get their marching orders from those who they represent - in this case, Big Pharma - and apparently had no defense against their indoctrination. You've imbibed it uncritically. You seem to think that those people are fair and honest. They're not, and that's why government regulation is necessary - to protect citizens from the predation and exploitation of the wannabe robber baron capitalists.
And those people don't like it, so they do whatever they can to continue raping the public and despoiling the environment, which includes supporting conservative indoctrination media that teach you to take the positions you have on their behalf and against the interest of yourself and your neighbors. And to defend Trump. And to defame Harris.
It's been incredibly effective, so much so that they've captured about half of American minds and turned them into myrmidons. I consider its electorate incompetent given how close this race is. That wouldn't be possible without conservative propaganda and so many defenseless minds listening to it and allowing it to shape their opinions. And that is very dangerous for ordinary Americans, which I assume describes you.
And it's dangerous for me, too, even though I no longer am under its jurisdiction. All I ask of America is to not invade Mexico, seize our bank accounts here or there, freeze our passports, or steal our Social Security benefits, but I don't think I can count on that because of people who would put people that would do such things into power.
