The shortage of a simple, over-the-counter painkiller shows how dependent the U.S. has become on China for vital pharmaceutical supplies.
For weeks this spring, as the coronavirus pandemic gripped the world, Nicole Izsak wasn’t able to stock up on acetaminophen at her neighborhood pharmacies on New York City’s Roosevelt Island.
What could possibly go wrong...My Chinese blood pressure medicine is actually caulk.
American CEOs and Wall Street outsourced virtually all manufacturing overseas
ISRAEL PEOPLE CHOSEN BY PAKISTANI HEAVY DUTY PENIS 😎😀😂🤪😜😜
Wait. WSJ finally doing real journalism? Well, shit fire hell. Call me shocked.
Greed was the driving force behind manufacturing moving to China cheap labor.

all greed.
We ceded everything to China Under Obama and Biden. Trump said it all along, but people did not want to listen.
Toxic Capitalism. The cheapest labor and materials for the most profit...it chose a communist country to make most of its products! And its corporations perpetuate slavery.
The U.S did not ceded control it was corporate America that wants to make more money. The downfall of a nation is the greed!
True
Just in case you wanted something else to feel really awful about.

Drug manufacturing left Puerto Rico and went overseas. Devastating the Puerto Rican, and weakening US nation security. But with all that big Pharma hicked up the prices of its meds and gave away big bloated payouts to their CEOs. 💩 Shitshow
Interesting article.
In the past few months, the Chinese government has made plans to mobilize companies to produce medical supplies. Most of them are based on the original automated production line.
In fact, most production factories in China are now automated production lines. A production shop only needs a mechanic to drink tea in an air-conditioned room and watch the monitoring.
This is the walk away message from this pandemic. Even if things can be done ‘cheaper’ by outsourcing things overseas, there are real advantages to keeping key production here in the US. The global supply chain is not as stable as people have sold it to be.
Corporate influence and politicians, what could go wrong?
The move to China by drug manufacturers was done in the name of profit for the companies and stock market. Americans suffer because of that greed.
American companies should be fined for producing products outside of America and importing them. Prices haven't gone down and the sweatshop workers aren't getting those margins.
BIG PHARMA's revenge for the Oxycontin busts.
