Are you capable of reading, logic or compassion?
The government is skewing the numbers (lying) about this “crisis.” The increase in deaths is directly attributable to fentanol—not prescription pain relievers. I don’t know you, but many people live with chronic, debilitating pain and it’s not the government’s place to decide they don’t need serious medication for pain. There are some conditions where nothing else allows people to function. Withholding that treatment is the same as purposefully inflicting that pain. Are you a sadist or just a power-hungry liberal?
When I see my 35 year old DIL live in horrible intractible pain I want to cry and do cry. 35 years old and all she has to look forward to is increasing pain.
