Higher prices for generic drugs due to China tariffs will improve quality of live 

 

Do you really think the wholesale cost of the precursors (or even the generic compounds) is a significant component of the retail price?

As with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, countries have been identifying other countries to do business with. If the situation with the US becomes a trade war, countries will look for other markets to sell and buy products. Even China.

Not even talking about component as most US generic drug manufacturers have moved overseas primarily China and India due to high costs. 90% of America's drug supply is composed of generics and will be impossible without them unless you pay for higher prices for branded.

"Barely any."  You're right.  No need for any focus on Canada.

 

Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid, estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. A lethal dose of fentanyl for an average adult is approximately **2 milligrams (mg)**, though this can vary depending on factors like body weight, tolerance, and individual sensitivity.

To calculate how many lethal doses are in "barely any" 43 pounds of fentanyl:

1. **Convert pounds to grams**:
   - 1 pound = 453.592 grams
   - 43 pounds = 43 × 453.592 = **19,504.456 grams**

2. **Convert grams to milligrams**:
   - 1 gram = 1,000 milligrams
   - 19,504.456 grams = 19,504,456 milligrams

3. **Calculate the number of lethal doses**:
   - Lethal dose = 2 mg
   - Number of lethal doses = 19,504,456 mg ÷ 2 mg = **9,752,228 lethal doses**

Therefore, barely any **43 pounds of fentanyl could theoretically kill approximately barely any 9.75 million people**, assuming no tolerance and an average lethal dose of 2 mg per person. This highlights the extreme danger of fentanyl and its potential for barely any mass harm.

Once again, if you knew what the markup is between the ex-works price and the retail price, you'd realize that, in general, increasing the tariffs will have a tiny effect on the retail price.  They buy the stuff for pennies and sell them for dollars.  The tariff is calculated on the pennies.

And if one percent of the Fentanyl comes from Canada, that's a thousand dead Americans every year.

Poor, poor lefty.

So you agree that tariffs will rise drug prices. A small step to understand the downside of tariffs on the general public.

Everyone knows that tariffs increase prices, at least in the short term.

Probably only you. Talk to any economists and they will tell you price increases are long term. Especially in Trump’s presidency of uncertainties to just about everything.

Biden got Mexico to send 10,000 guards to the border in 2021 without the need for tariff threats or stick as you call it. Just need good diplomacy. 

As long as Biden kept the border open, Mexico would do whatever Biden wanted. 

 

Now there are 10,000 guards at the border, and 10,000 more on the way, so that will be 20,000.

 

And now instead of helping illegal aliens enter the United States like Biden and the left wanted, the Mexican guards will be tasked with stopping illegal aliens from entering the United States, like Trump and the American people want.

On the runup to the election, sure. The last thing Mexico wanted was Trump in the White House. 

 

Do you support stopping illegal immigration and deporting illegal immigrants or not?

So what's to stop Trump in 30 days saying, right,  now we've got this we want this and we're re-instating tariffs until we get it. 

 

You can't bow down to bullies. They'll just get worse.

The "stick" part of "carrot and stick" seems to be working.

 

The flow of illegals and fentanyl across the Canadian border was already minimal. The same outcome could have been achieved without all the noise show for MAGA and truly annoying a close ally. Let's see what difference the actions by Mexico make, one would have though the migrant policy changes by trump would already had sufficient impact on illegals flow. What additional resources has trump committed to interdict fentanyl, opioid abuse within USA and weapons shipments to Mexico?

 

PRC has already announced additional tariffs on the US.

Dear Donnie:

 

Maybe if the USA would do something to stop hundreds of thousands of USA guns flowing into mexico the cartels would not be so strong?  But of course that would not please the gun lobby now would it?

 

Love

 

Mexico

 

In the fiscal year of 2022, a total of 845 firearms were seized by the United States Border Patrol in the Southwest border sectors. Nationally, 881 firearms and 45,551 rounds of ammunition were confiscated by Border Patrol in that year.Jul 5, 2024
 
More than 500,000 American-made guns are trafficked to Mexico every year, and seventy percent of firearms recovered from crime scenes in Mexico can be traced to the United States.Nov 14, 2023

Hilarious.

 

The same people trafficking illegal aliens and drugs across into the United States are trafficking guns into Mexico. 

 

Hopefully, these people will be exterminated.
