Technology is not just integrated circuits.

This is biotech and patents, both firmly relevant to technology overall.

“The White House is threatening”

That line is so telling. The media arm of corporate America spinning hard. Like a child getting told no and telling everyone that getting refused a third PS5 is abusive.

Yeah I think the first reaction to this was too hot. The government probably doesn’t want to seize patents and this is really meant as a warning to get pharma to keep drug prices down more reasonable prices.
