Nothing to see here, move along...

[redgolum]

Lots of money in drug pushers.

More if it is “legal”

[Red Badger]

THEY MUST BE IN A LOTTA PAIN IN THAT TOWN....................

[TigerClaws]

Plan is to kill off white people. That’s why nothing was done.

[DaxtonBrown]

Those poor people in so much pain.

[FatherofFive]

I saw this on the news when I was in Orlando over Christmas. There was a congress critter hearing on CSPAN. They were roasting the acting head of an agency involved, a black woman totally in over her head

Grammy KC always told me. “Stay away from Pills”

[Jeff Chandler]

More than 880 people fatally overdosed in West Virginia in 2016.

More than two a day.

[robroys woman]

To get a feel for that area of the country, watch “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.”

I own that movie. It’s very telling about the US being a lot of different and diverse cultures. It’s like a third world country there.

[buckalfa]

The Free States of SW West Virginia. Folks gotta gotta get by you know. S/

[lgjhn23]

Kinda remind me of all the Clintoon drug shipments into Mena, AR back in the day....
As then, so it is now: Follow the money trail and it will lead you to the evil.

[DungeonMaster]

Some drug dealers wear white coats.

[Robert DeLong]

I assume the town in now a ghost town, if the townees are taking them all. 8>)

[bgill]

It took them a whole decade to figure this out? Uh huh. The drug companies were getting their cut, too, with the sells.

[Alas Babylon!]

Weird Al’s next hit:

Sold oxycontin once or twice,
livin’ in a mountaineer’s paradise...

Honestly, any company with competent techs, and above-board management would have had this flagged from day one.

[ArtDodger]

Hmm. A billionaire pill maker and his wife were just murdered and arranged to look like a murder/suicide situation in Vancouver a few weeks ago. I wonder...........

[DennisR]

Who ordered the pain killers? Companies normally do not ship until someone orders.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Reminds me of the 1970s when pill pushing doctors had “patients” out the door and around the block who “needed” prescriptions for painkillers.

[RC one]

I guess it’s less obvious than giving us blankets infected with small pox.
