So we drove around the Pharmacies around town and yep all out too. Luckily we found pill form at one.
Defend the social ideology, I get it and agree, but this government is honestly risking our children with the total ineptitude at managing critical supply chain.
A major city in a first world country, out of antibiotics, totally blew my mind.

How is it the government’s job, though? How would this be any different in a situation not formed around a “social ideology”?
This was explained well by Street Pharmacist in the cold/flu thread, but blaming the government doesn’t actually make much sense. A lot of this comes down to basic supply and demand stuff and most of it has nothing to do with the government.
