And there you have it. When drugs were affecting the inner city it was all about “lack of morality” and being “tough on crime”. But when it started affecting “rural America” it was “let’s blame the drug companies” and “treat it like a disease”.

I doubt people in the inner city or the people who “fit the description” wouldn’t feel the same way about the “War on Drugs”.

Some corporations will kill people if there's a buck to be made and then intentionally cover their tracks. Pg&e, ge, bechtel, nestle, exxon, rj reynolds, purdue, beyer, exelon...

The system as it stands is designed for people to "be as greedy as they can possibly get away with."

Then there's this theory that is everyone is exclusively a conniving bastard trying to double cross everyone and snatch profits by stomping on everyone else, the world will be a functional happy place.

Building a society by incentivizing what basically every religious text says leads to crime is a big mistake.

You have been watching what's going on with the police haven’t you?
