WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER OPIOID CARNAGE?

Left too busy politicizing shootings to notice the hundreds of thousands killed by foreign-made fentanyl

Statistically, the amount of deaths by opioids is a far larger crisis than the politicized Second Amendment threatening mass shootings epidemic the United States endures.

In fact, pharmaceutical companies and the drug trade dwarf gun violence so massively that the two aren’t even in the same ballpark.

Like Dave Chapelle said, nobody cared about the black crack crisis. As soon as whites and their kids fell into a opioid crisis the shit hit the fan. Like Chapelle I don't give a shit.

One of the universal focuses of democratic candidates is stopping the abuse of pharmaceutical companies on the American people...

Also I don't see our Republican Congress/Senate doing ANYTHING despite having the power to do so for years.

1:12 Fentanyl is coming from China mostly. While it is manufactured and used in many healthcare settings. And until elected officials stop taking money from lobbyists I doubt they'll do anything to make their masters less money.

we also need to vote these idiots out 140! We can complain all we want but their policies are no longer benefiting us, only them. Time to clean house. The priority is the American people NOT the political party.

Bad decisions by individuals often result in bad outcomes. Personal responsibility is a factor.
