Shortage of Critical Commodities Seen Already

Maybe you thought that less trade with China would mean fewer choices of lawn gnomes at Walmart this summer. And since you've recently sworn off, who cares anyway. Turns out China is also a leading provider of the raw materials used to make critical pharmaceutical drugs. We'll have fewer of those too and, in some cases, none at all......long article, the gist if which is the last sentence quoted here

15. Shit 

I hate the greedy,their criminality while key people who could have stopped it,who could have taken a risk chose not to,but instead enabled this situation..

Corporations and consumerism have made this world toxic.All the corporate wastes and pollutants, their chemistry and their by products,industry cutting corners to raise animals in ways that make us sick,if we eat them, and the people who let it happen even when they knew what the company was doing would hurt us all are part of why people are so sick..

Throw away lifestyle of Consumerism is killing us and this planet.Having our bodies subjected to countless chemicals and pollutants day after day, facing forces it is not made to survive like car accidents or industrial accidents, it takes a toll on our health.And medicines help us cope.

So we now have tons of medicines that have become REQUIRED to help people cope with life,to stop pain,fight cancer or help us from wanting to kill ourselves.We live in a toxic chemical stew.

We live in a toxic culture of malignant narcissism instead of social cohesion,we live in competition against each other instead of cooperation,for instance.

And the sad part is when life in a culture that is sick makes us sick, something has to give.

If we continue to let the 'insurance companies' bullies(ceos) politicians and "leaders" take all,as if their 'status' makes them better than you or I, we will not be able to get anything ,and those in pain,those with severe illness, disability or injury will die,while the only wealthiest will have access to life saving drugs.

There is something very wrong with society when rich people are spared going without while the many suffer and die in debt for the maintenance of the rich.

Maintaining the rich have caused so much suffering for so many,suffering they did not have to face.

But we face it so the rich could have it all..And now we pay again.The drugs some people need are as basic to their needs as food or water in helping them function.
Being denied pain medicine is cruel punishment,for severe pain it torture.I have neuropathy,caused by having chicken pox years ago.The pain has been so bad I have thought of suicide to stop it.But thankfully I had a painkiller to take.I do not take them often.but when I need them,I DO need them.

The rich who do not care about others suffering,because they NEVER had to care about anyone else,really. Allowing such over the top wealth top be in so few hands of the wrong sorts of people are the problem, the people I hate are 'charming, manipulating,cold,cruel ,evil hearted,ruthless assholes that with no guilt or shame.

Bad people who will scheme,deny people needs, cause harm, and bully others to get what they want,like those bonuses and golden parachutes. I wish they'd be forced to stop taking too much from all of us or die.

Would anyone miss these monsters if they are gone?

Hey undergroundKitty, I got $3 and some change in my right front pocket.....I'm going by the store and consume as much of it as possible.

Well, I could consume $25 worth easy but what I meant was, have as little change left as possible out of the $3 something.

Very little in that safehaven article is true. I did not realize that OxyContin® was a life saving drug! There has been a shortage and back order of many generic narcotic drugs, including the generic of OxyContin®.

But this has alot more to due with the new President and the DEA, then it does with China.

You mean the chronic pain from a lack of heroin?

That is the most popular use of the drug. But many also do get it for pain, if they can't tollerate other meds.

Hey UP...dressing up as a freak and spouting ignorant bullshit does not entitle you to be left alone to do it.
Go **** yourself to death and make the world a better place for the sane to live in.
