- means you are screwed in the event of a war (economic or physical)
- means you have no control over quality of said pharmaceuticals
- means that expertise is no longer available in your own country and you are again beholden to others because those countries can charge whatever they want or refuse to sell it to you at all (see battery tech, microchip tech, solar tech for other examples).
You want to go over there and learn how to adapt their tech? Great. (We did that with the Japanese auto industry in the 1980s and we imported rocket expertise after WWII.) But things like drugs, food staples, and construction materials should be made at home. There’s a reason we subsidize farming.
Personally I think the feds should be manufacturing generic drugs to ensure availability and quality, and to provide some competition to bring prices down.
Pfizer CEO is wrong.
Lithium phosphate batteries don’t need nickel. Or cobalt. The industry has already started using them.
But sending your money to China is just fine?
Next up, no labeling “hot dogs” as such, unless they include dog meat in them!
When you piss everyone off and leave a vacuum, someone always steps in to fill it.
They could fix this by requiring stocks pay a dividend as a minimum percentage of profit, and prohibiting the sale of a stock until a year after purchase.

The ships sending us Chinese goods have to return to China anyway. That’s why everyone was sending China their plastic to be “recycled”. Might as well just incinerate it.
🤷♂️ Good luck with that — I disconnected my Roku tv from the internet a long time ago.
Yay Matter support!
I wonder if it’s cheaper to refine oil, or desalinate water?
Trump was/is widely despised in the US. Even by many in his own party. All it takes is voter apathy, a cult following, and a political machine getting behind him.
Pathetic.
We can kill just the species that bite humans. There are plenty of others for the birds and bats to eat.
Good. I hope the ocean keeps spitting it back at us until we learn our lesson.
I will believe they are confronting it when nations start taxing non-medical single use plastics.
“an X-ray table that could read cards face down on the table”
So does this mean all the poker players are going to end up with cancer?
