The medical cartel has had 2 years to adapt at this point. How have they failed to scale capacity despite charging record prices?

If they scale then the politicians won't have an excuse to maintain their mandates. They were able to get navy ships with hundreds of beds scaled up in weeks at the start of the pandemic. The cost to society of the mandates is certainly more that it would cost to scale ICUs.

During WW2 the US managed to mass produce about as much fighter planes as it needed.

It couldn't mass produce fighter pilots, though.
