If we were to change the system, that would mean companies like Purdue wouldn’t be able to line the pockets of politicians. So politicians turn a blind eye because non of this has affected them (or maybe it has but their greed is worth more than justice for those affected). Sigh.
Realistically, I don’t know if this system can be tweaked to accomplish either of those, especially considering where the power currently lies. There’s no incentive to change things for those who can because they like the cushy jobs they can “retire” into, they like the trips and lunches. And the corporations will spend all of their fortune to ensure they can make another one.
Too much power concentrated into the hands of too few.
