Free labor, pollute all you want, and greed.
Because people that have hundreds of millions and billions in their bank account want even more money that cheap labor can provide, but they’ll make a public donation to the United Way so the outside of their cup is nice and shiny.
Cheap labor. Less cost in shipping API since it’s already made there. Less reg by the FDA and other agencies.
It’s literally nothing but greed.
The closing of the plant has nothing to do with distribution it is only to do with the price of labor and the rules regarding pollution. Things can be done in India and China for nickels on the dollar and they can dump the untreated wastewater anywhere they want without any sort of penalty. They also don't have to follow as many safety and employment laws. If someone died at the plant in West Virginia it would be huge news if someone died at a plant in India no one would even know.
The cost of shipping d–gs is nill in comparison to the cost savings they have reaped by moving everything to third world countries.
