CECAA850 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think it's insane as well regardless of the reason. It's not like we're getting them cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it though. It's not right. They can hold us hostage any time they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 China not only makes 90% + - of all generics but supplies most ingredients for US made pharmaceuticals. We’ve allowed them to hold all the cards. And while it’s easy to point blame at our Pharma industry we all enjoy seeing our favored drug companies profits rise in our 401’s etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that the non active ingredients could change the delivery of the Rx to us thus making it not as effective. This happened with a lot more than just our drugs. When was the last time that you bought towels that did not fall apart in less than two years. I mean ten sets for two people, wash twice a week cold water dry forever with low temp like the tags say. And four or five hundred wasted as they change colors and unravel. My Cannon Royal Velvet towels made in Kannanopolis, NC lasted from the mid 80s until about 2005 or so and they were washed in hot water dried on high temp and only had six sets I think for all those years. Never had a stain on them, with the help of the fake detergent there are makeup and girl goop stains on all of these I've got now. NAFTA destroyed the mills here in ACC territory. The cotton threads like denim and everything else too. Tens of thousands put out of work and all I've ever heard about are the steel workers and the rust belt up north of here talked about by the politicians and the talking heads. Over and over. Did they ever notice that 501s are thinner than tshirts now! Or maybe they think it's OK to spend $500 every few years on f'n towels. Reagan was the first I voted for and he signed that dam*ed thing didn't he? *Sorry `bout the rant. The subject of our manufacturing being destroyed from within really ticks me off. Vote for whomever will rebuild our ability to self-sustain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bosco-d-gama Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Lots of huge corporations went ‘offshore’ when taxation and regulations made their businesses strained. Even GE left. Anyway the business climate is less stringent now and as we can all witness there’s some big downsides to operating elsewhere. We all knew it was bad news when we watched it happening.
