Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It’s not even that it’s impossible to solve these problems under capitalism. It’s harder sure, but ultimately you just have to make the punishment for things like this so severe and target the people at the top even if they’re not personally responsible that those people become hawks to make sure nothing like this happens.
If selling tainted medication means the entire C-suite, the district managers, and anyone who owns 5% or more of the company goes to prison for 30 years, this would never happen again. If you execute the executives, even better.
Honestly you could probably prevent most of it with fines so high it immediately puts the company out of business with the executives actually being personally liable to pay it (abolish the concept of the “limited liability corporation”)
This does require the state regulatory bodies not be completely controlled by the capitalists however, so it’s obviously not going to happen in the US
We absolutely should be perching the sword of fucking Damocles over the necks of every executive. We are at the "cut corners and strip the copper wiring out of the walls" stage of capitalism. We must be extra vigilant. They want to flirt with danger then the danger should be able to flirt back.
As a pharmacist, fucking please, Caremark and it's subsidiaries are a scourge upon mankind
Big facts. Most of the state boards and the APhA are run by corporate bootlickers.
This is basically what China is doing right now
