You make a strong argument for the FDA to get its own fleet of aircraft carriers and probably ground support as well. I bet they'd have many fewer enforcement issues. Then again the optics of the FDA sending a nuke to a company that is non-compliant in it's handling of medical grade radioactive isotopes might be a little bad.



We have serious problems with pharmaceutical pricing, access, and regulation in the United States. Let's not pretend that we have saturated the costs of all necessary pharmaceutical regulation, nor that all of our aircraft carriers are necessary.

Here's a list of words to google next to "FDA" as a search term if you want to know where some of the deficiencies lie:

  Sackler
  Epi-pen
  Insulin
  Shkreli
  Kickbacks
  Vioxx
  Lobbying


Absolutely, agreed.
