The Barrel That Saw the World

Word arrived of a barrel that had seen the world. Ambrose: made in India, to Singapore and back, to Europe, then a Japanese firm. Pim: a barrel on holiday! The Toll Keeper: the maker's chief asks what a tariff would solve, jobs or supplies. Prudence: the chain does not run one way. Machines in Michigan and India finish the same medicines together.

The drug supply chain a tariff is meant to pull home does not run one way: one barrel in an Indian storeroom was made in India, shipped to Singapore and back, then to Europe and a Japanese company with an American address, machines in Michigan and India finish the same medicines together, and the chief of the Indian maker Piramal asks what problem a generics tariff is meant to solve, jobs or supplies.
