The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.
Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Okay @developers.google.com since you've made it abundantly clear you're catering to delusional old men *and* have the ability to toggle names based on location, cater to me: I want a preference switch in Settings that lets me use "Gulf of Mexico" and "Lake Ontario" like the rest of the world.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.
Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.
Remember this.

When you fire all the top brass with the kahunas to stand up and tell the CIC he's wrong, you can't expect the remaining folks to do the right thing and tell Dumpy to withdraw. So no, they can't agree.
