You are an idiot. They own and operate a pharmaceutical company. They don’t stalk the streets peddling bootleg pills, they produce medicine. People who overdose do this to themselves.
I suppose if you put a gun to your head and scatter what brains you have across your living room, that is Smith & Wesson’s fault.
I hate phony causality arguments.
You’re the idiot. Perdue Pharmaceuticals lied about their product, and even went to the lengths of buying medical journals and having them print puff pieces about their own medication and “pain is the fifth vital sign” to entice doctors to prescribe. There is a whole lot of systemic corruption involved that everyone here casually ignores with platitudes about personal responsibility. They had internal memos joking about the fact that their sales numbers were grossly outpacing what they should be. In fact, the Sacklers encouraged their sales reps to pressure doctors to prescribe generics if they couldn’t get them on name brand because it turns out they had stakes in a second company producing them. This is inexcusable criminal behavior.
