Eh, you sure could and it wouldn't bother me one bit. Thanks for that. Different world than I grew up in, for sure. That's absolutely not how it happens.
I think there are a couple things that could be done quickly that would help. Access to maintenance therapy (suboxone, methadone) needs to be more accessible and more affordable. In patient treatment needs to be more accessible for those that want help. Many people that are to the point of needing an in patient facility have already lost their job, so it needs to be available to those without insurance as well. They also need to make narcan available to those that want it (the medication that first responders administer to reverse an over dose). Needle exchanges that promote harm reduction should also be allowed to operate. Many of the deaths these days are due to heroin and counterfeit pills that contain fentanyl, which is far stronger and more deadly than straight up heroin/Oxy.
Good discussion in here. Must be the lack of trolls. One of the many ways executions won't help the opioids crisis: death row is amazingly expensive and inefficient, (as it should be). Another: giving a Two Scoops government a new way to kill people? Um, let's not, m'kay?
at least be original, mr. kushner. MY president has been doing that to his friends wives since he was in his 20s! that's why I chuckled at Republicans getting offended on what was written in the fire and fury book. What has gone on outside of the book has been more toxic than what was written. Bannon went on a rant professing his love for Mussolini just last week.
It is terribly unfair that the whiter victims of the current opioid problem get more sympathy while the blacker victims of the crack epidemic got only wrath. I see that (now). It sucks. But we can't go back now and it doesn't make sense to take bad policy now just because we had bad policy 30 years ago. I think we've learned something from our mistakes in the war on drugs, but I recognize that people's attitudes about this one are probably different because it is seen as a problem for white people. Hopefully, if we can deal with this problem in a mature and enlightened way, those solutions can be applied to drug problems in minority communities too.
...I suppose, then, we gotta start somewhere...and what better place than the "city of brotherly love"...? Philly DA Larry Krasner won't seek cash bail in certain crimes
The utter BS of trying to justify adding citizenship questions to support the Voters Rights Act... only trump could be so dishonest... "a legitimate purpose" that would outweigh the "limited potential adverse impacts."
