Problem: the government (FDA) did a bad job at regulating drug production plants in India.

HN Solution: the government should take over all drug production.




I mean, the FDA has been captured for a long time now, by design (see, e.g., the it’s reliance on funding by the entities it purportedly regulates in order to function at all). That’s not evidence that government in principle is the problem. It’s evidence that government in bed with the regulated parties is. Asking for stronger government intervention is asking not for more of the same—-just the opposite.
