Now, I know no one could have predicted this, but taking a pro-delinquency approach to public policy actually leads to cultural and societal degradation; nowhere is that more obvious than in the leftist strongholds of the West Coast.
Check out this Monday headline from The Daily Beast: “Seattle Morgue Struggling to Accommodate Glut of Fentanyl Deaths”.
The opening blurb from the article reads:
As it scrambles to address a rapid rise in fentanyl overdose deaths, Washington state’s largest county by population is ‘struggling’ to make space for all the bodies piling up in its morgue, an official said last week.
Under the Democrats of Seattle, the drug problem is so bad and so fatal, government officials can’t bury or cremate the human remains fast enough.
Dr. Faisal Khan, who made headlines in 2021 for alleging abuse at the hands of Republicans as he advocated for the forced implementation of masks, said this:
The Medical Examiner’s Office is now struggling with the issue of storing bodies because the fentanyl-related death toll continues to climb….
(Is Khan on the verge of a conservative awakening? I wish.)
Khan isn’t just any Seattle official, he’s the county “Public Health Director” himself.
Here’s some hard data for context, from conservative talk radio personality, Jason Rantz:
King County has already experienced over one fatal fentanyl overdose death a day for the month of January, with 31 deaths as of Jan. 22, 2023. Last year, the county recorded 1,019 fatal overdoses, with fentanyl responsible for the majority of deaths at 686. It’s the highest number of overdose deaths the county has ever recorded.
But the fentanyl crisis isn’t exclusive to Seattle: it’s a mess exclusive to leftist policy in action.

Last night I went to a bar in downtown San Francisco.
It looked like a dystopia.
I saw hundreds of people folded over (likely high on Fentanyl), or sitting on the sidewalks smoking.
Almost every person looked homeless.
I felt scared to park and walk two blocks.

I guess there is more than one way to clean up the street.
They should require drug users to register and maintain residence at the local morgue for their drug usage to keep things convenient and lower the costs of body removal.
People got what they voted for
“Fentanyl Corpse” sounds like the name of a Heavy Metal Band.
Takin’ out the trash.
Sounds like an opportunity for someone to build a crematorium and get the city contract....
Heartless? No, just looking at the reality of people hellbent on destroying themselves. When they finally manage to kill themselves, why not make a buck?
Thanks to Dem politicians running the Gov’t it won’t be long before they will crank up the composting machine.
Imagine how many bodies they’d be dealing with if they stopped the use of NARCAN to revive the dozens that OD every single day. There is one compassionate measure that can be applied to the scourge of unfettered drug use and the despair of these “walking dead.” Death is their only savior.
Maybe they need to look for “infinite space.”
I see nothing wrong with libs exterminating demselves.
Save a bullet ride a fentenal.
That's a lot of corpses.
Death from fentanyl is easily avoided by not taking non-prescribed drugs.
That “Caliph Baraq is my home boy” t-shirt is always a sign of a troubled mind....
