Is there any leftist critique of the opioid epidemic?

...

There was one hollywood movie I happened to watch some time ago called "Side Effects (2013)" where the plot was literally about some mental patient turning into a murderer because the shrink needed to shill some "experimental new anti-depressant" that he was getting paid on the side to shill for.

I live in eastern europe and this kind of lobbying/shilling is outlawed here (thank you based EU).

Eastern Marxist is that you?

The really big problems are
In both cases this results in people going for black market pharmaceuticals or worse street opioids like heroin. It's a problem with the way the healthcare system works, so it's everywhere in this country except the ridiculously wealthy. If you're an American it's almost certainll someone in your community is dealing with it.

i talked to a few of those cats while i was down in western kentucky. they seem to know their shit. socialism would actually work out really well for a lot of those bible belt farmers. turns out 90% of their food crops go out to international markets like japan and places in south east asia because they pay so much for it. you turn all that food production inward and youve pretty easily got an infinite food hack for all of america, with a surplus. high quality crops too, because the growing season is long as fuck down there.

it sure is. i would say, judging by the statistics in map, that the drug companies are targeting the rural areas of the country because of no-jobs and a general sense of hopelessness. they know goddamned well that the drug addicts of those areas are more than half of their market, but they are making too much money off of it to care about the massive loss of life.

like i said in my post above, our recent "friends" in the taliban have awarded our cunt with a surplus of opium that, once refined, can
easily and cheaply be made into a variety of synthetic opiods which are then shipped en masse (sometimes more pills than people as in WVs case) to rural pharmacies, and then docs are bribed by shills to push their dope
