Mold colonies and liquid-flooded air purifiers: CVS sourced medication from tainted factories—and it has twice the amount of recalls on store-brand drugs than competitors
It’s not even that it’s impossible to solve these problems under capitalism. It’s harder sure, but ultimately you just have to make the punishment for things like this so severe and target the people at the top even if they’re not personally responsible that those people become hawks to make sure nothing like this happens.
If selling tainted medication means the entire C-suite, the district managers, and anyone who owns 5% or more of the company goes to prison for 30 years, this would never happen again. If you execute the executives, even better.
Honestly you could probably prevent most of it with fines so high it immediately puts the company out of business with the executives actually being personally liable to pay it (abolish the concept of the “limited liability corporation”)
This does require the state regulatory bodies not be completely controlled by the capitalists however, so it’s obviously not going to happen in the US
We absolutely should be perching the sword of fucking Damocles over the necks of every executive. We are at the "cut corners and strip the copper wiring out of the walls" stage of capitalism. We must be extra vigilant. They want to flirt with danger then the danger should be able to flirt back.

As a pharmacist, fucking please, Caremark and it's subsidiaries are a scourge upon mankind
Big facts. Most of the state boards and the APhA are run by corporate bootlickers.
This is basically what China is doing right now
