"... they're going to be opening up their plants all over the place."

Simple solutions for simple minds. How many Americans will suffer paying higher prices for YEARS until that happens... if it happens at all?

"The slashing was so wide and deep that it can be hard to get a handle on just how much public health expertise was lost yesterday," the article stated. "The affected offices at the FDA may not be household names, but they perform critical work that protects every American and helps shape the regulatory decisions of manufacturers and foreign health agencies around the world, which rely on the FDA's expertise."

Trade war be damned, those drugs are of great importance so another way has to be found rather than shutting down the pipelines.
