it makes perfect sense that one of the wealthiest countries, depends on poorer ones to produce their pharmaceuticals because of 'costs'. Seems legit.
And still charge insanely high prices. A side note: a local used to work at a now-closed child medicine manufacturing facility. His behavior became so volatile, everyone blamed it on that, but also he was in late adolescence under extreme conditions of despair.
The country isn't wealthy, but some individuals are and fantastically so. They won't manufacture this stuff at home because it'd mean pharma execs couldn't afford as many yachts
