More Trump Winning

Anecdotal, but a medication I have to take daily went up by $20 since last month. Not exactly breaking the bank, but not a good sign, especially for anyone on a tight budget.

Anyone else notice any changes?

How bad are your trade policies when you reverse them and the market hits record gains in a day?

I'm cringing at this - the budget is uber-tight unfortunately. When everything goes up like the past few years have been, wiggle room tends to disappear, and the hits just keep on coming.

I take 7 different meds daily, and refills are due soon...I suspect there's going to be some sticker shock.

Maybe because China makes about 80% of our medications...which is absurd on every level.

The wife (no pic) has her own contract furniture rep business. Some of her items come from a manufacturer in China. She has been on the phone with clients all morning breaking the news that their prices are doubling. Good times.

Not according to @ThorneStockton and @theiacowtipper . Nothing to see here, move along.

No, I dont see it as a significant national security risk, but I also am not peeing my pants about a hypothetical war with China.

Healthcare is a national security issue? Really. Say more.

Tariffs on pharmaceuticals

The fact that American politicians put our nation in this position in the first place is the real issue. Overreliance on another country for items so critical is a total failure. That is capitalism at its finest. You don’t seem to support capitalism in this area. May I ask what other socialist...

It's also inaccurate according to the link you posted, but that's never stopped you cultists.

What is your vision for a solution to this 'real issue' that has been a total failure? Just follow the cult leader right? Nothing you will answer here, move along.

COVID caused massive inflation. Worldwide.

You have been corrected on this error numerous times and yet you persist with this falsehood. Again, provide a credible link detailing Biden’s policies that caused the surge in inflation or kindly shut the front door.

Poop or get off the pot.

Sorry to hear that, friend.

Why is that funny, @NoWokeBloke?

 

[ThorneStockton]

Hexum's claim that China makes about 80% of our medications. Of course, I continue to answer your questions and you ignore the easy ones:

They may not make 80% of all our meds but with certain ones it comes damn close - antibiotics are up there for sure.

That’s not even close to being accurate. And I mean it is off by almost 60%.

Why do you people insist on lying all the ****ing time? And by “you people,” I mean the MAGA Idiot Brigade. Seriously. All you guys do is just lie your asses off or pull numbers completely from your bungholes. Like Trump, do you idiots not understand how easily shit like that can be debunked?

Btw, why don’t you also look up at how much pharmaceuticals get exported from the USA to China.

 

[ThorneStockton]

And I'm sure for specific drugs they make 100% of them. Neat. Are you just sharing a 'fun conjecture' or are you in the process of making a broader point?

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

He doesn’t. Because one doesn’t exist.

He’s a liar just like Trump. That’s all MAGA has. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Dumb or gullible. Every MAGA is one or the other, and many are both.

Skyrocketing Pharmaceutical Imports to the U.S. Endanger National Security​

• U.S. pharmaceutical imports have skyrocketed in the last ten years, with imports from China, India and Mexico leading the surge.
• India and China are increasingly the leading U.S. source for generic pharmaceuticals, which account for 90% of all prescriptions written in the U.S.

China has a large share of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) - think raw materials. India has a large share of finished drugs - like generics - that they produce with APIs from China. The US imports a lot of these from both countries but more prominently finished drugs from India.

I suspect somewhere along the line, with some specific sub categories of just generic antibiotics, or just APIs, or some other subcategory, that 80% and China appeared. And with Hexum's MAGA brain, used that to jump to conclusions he doesn't understand. Of course, all of this is in an effort to justify the cult leader, post hoc.

In 2024, the United States imported most of its antibiotics from Italy with China coming in second. The United States also exported more antibiotics than it brought in.

Hexum is full of shit and so are you.

Covid didn't cause anything other than covid. Human response led to the rest, and the west failed that test miserably.

This is mostly accurate with the giant elephant in the room that nobody REALLY knows about API and API production in China because guess what...they won't report it and there isn't accurate information on it because China is asshole. This has been a problem well before Trump so not sure why you want to correlate the two.

That's a lot of words to just admit that you were spouting off an incorrect percentage.
