The motivation for onsourcing plants is to avoid disruption due to say an epidemic in the foreign country causing a supply interruption. Well what if the foreign plant is back in operation while we have epidemic problems here? It could be an inauspicious time to take on that particular chore, yes?
Before that guy finally crashed his plane he was doing reckless stuff that caused other people to not want to fly with him. True he only crashed once, but that's not really the point is it. Some people you look at them and think: only a matter of time. You see it too I bet.

Ray you only think he's on top of it because he's underreacting to circumstances.Last edited by togor; 03-13-2020, 04:40.Comment

Ray the devil is in the details. You've been an emergency management planner, IIRC. You know this. You also know that some of the stuff that comes from the politicians can cause eyeballs to roll in the heads of people who actually have to implement things. You have this work experience that understands the value of practicality and yet you think this guy is the man. I don't see it.
Also: I'm not blasting the forthcoming executive order. I'm just not bowled over by it site unseen like you. Which one of us is being more level-headed here?Last edited by togor; 03-13-2020, 04:55.Comment

So Ray here is a "sky is falling" piece from Fox News, saying the Chinese are threatening to cut off supplies of drugs to the US.
If this is true, then a puny executive order doesn't begin to cover it! Sometimes a half-measure is worse than doing nothing at all.
I happen to agree with you that a world ruled by dictators will be one ruled by petty dictator quarrels that hurt ordinary people. So I would support onshoring of pharma. But if we're going to do that then let's do it right, which is to say get control of drug prices at the same time. We pay the highest prices in the world, by far, only to discover now that the industry offshored production anyways. If they stopped discovering new drugs we could live pretty long on the ones we have, so long as we can afford them.Comment

Of course.. they see would happen to their economy if the US starts to mfg the drugs so they make threats..

Not True, a half measure now is better doing nothing at all..

I don't recall ever saying that, when did I say that.....Comment

Ray I think the sentiment is implicit in a general distaste for dictators. Didn't think you needed to be on the record for it but feel free.
Re: half measures. They can make things worse. Sometimes half a lane change is a terrible idea. For example.Comment
