2. I have to disagree that opioids are availble. You don't even get them by pulling teeth

or breaking bones or even passing kidney stones.





(not mad at you, applegrove, I'm angry at the system that mistreats people)

3. Not so available now. But there was a time when a town of 7000 was getting

hundreds of thousands of doses or something. My point is are they trying to kill people or getting the public used to people dying because that is the outcome both lots of opioids and massively expensive insulin is having on people. When consultants talk of humans and risk aversion, which this is, they always use the example of spending money on fire departments at airports despite the fact they are hardly ever used. I say we stop all fire departments at airports, particularly private jet areas, because it is a waste of money. And take that money and investigate pharmaceutical industry pricing.
