Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system

  Pharmacology? It’s a science like any other. Pharmacists talk constantly about how their wages are actively being depressed because of intentional understaffing. The hypothetical your presenting is a reality under capitalism.

    Most pharmacists dispense drugs, they don’t make drugs. You are being disingenuous.

      That’s due to supply chain efficiencies to make labor and medication cheaper to make. Pharmacists are trained in making medicine.

        No it isn’t. It’s due to training. You can’t just walk into a production facility and start making Zoloft. And there is absolutely no guarantee that you will get enough people trained to know how to make Zoloft to keep up with demand. Because that, in part, is based on people’s willingness to work in a Zoloft production facility.

        So unless you’re talking about forced labor, that is an example of supply not necessarily meeting demand.
