I don't read InfoWhores. I just made up my own mind by reading up on the causes of the crisis.

Ok, so you are of them, what do you think about pizzagate?

Two years into Trump’s term, the country is still in the grip of a terrible opioid crisis. It is a truism that this crisis cuts across demographic lines— sort of.

A new medical journal study shows that the counties that voted most heavily for Trump in 2016 have the highest rates of opioid abuse.

“In counties with higher than average rates of chronic opioid prescriptions, 60 percent of voters went for Trump. In counties with lower than average rates, only 39 percent voted for Trump.”

The crisis is overblown. Something like 42k people died last year from overdoses. That really isn’t that many people when you think about it.

In Florida we are about to experience a sharp drop in OD deaths. Between medical marijuana and the new legislation that goes into effect on 7/1/18 limiting controlled substance prescriptions to 3-7 days it’s going to stop a lot of these giant quantities of pills from going to the streets.

Trump is too busy winning to focus on this problem. Peace with NK and helping fix tax inequality makes him the GOAT modern president.
