The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I began buying from a Canadian pharmacy for things not in the formulary of my ins plan. Some prescriptions can be purchased for a fraction of the cost at a US pharmacy....even adding in TrumpTariffs.

Shipments will be banned beginning Oct 26, 2026.

I wonder how many orange koolaid guzzling cultists are aware of the $$$ hit they'll take when this shit show begins .

"If you rely on Canada Prescriptions Plus for affordable medication, place your order now and stock up.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has enacted a new policy governing international mail shipments, with key requirements scheduled to take effect on October 22, 2026. We have just learned that, under the planned implementation by CBP and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), virtually all prescription medication parcels will be prohibited from entering the United States beginning on that date.
What’s Changing

Entry will be prohibited if the medication being imported is commercially available in the United States — even when it costs significantly more — or if the supplying company specifically markets to Americans.

These restrictions will apply to pharmaceutical parcels sent by pharmacies anywhere outside the United States. Taken together, they are expected to effectively close the personal-importation pathway that millions of Americans have relied upon for more than 25 years to obtain safe and affordable medications. We are shocked and deeply disappointed."
