They're doing their job. My view is that bureaucracy has its own doublespeak for everything.

So when I see this:

> It is important to note that no law exists requiring medical device manufacturers to notify the FDA when they become aware of a circumstance, including discontinuation of a product, that could lead to a potential shortage, and manufacturers are not required to respond when the FDA requests information about potential supply chain disruption.

...in my head, I translate it to this:

> We welcome a law requiring medical device manufacturers to notify the FDA when they become aware of a potential shortage or discontinuation, and requiring manufacturers to respond when the FDA requests information about potential supply chain disruption.
