There is no question about the cause of the rise in fentanyl overdoses. With the huge influx of illegals jumping our southern border, so is the influx of fentanyl and the cartel members to distribute it. The yearly overdose deaths are the same as the yearly deaths from the War in Vietnam. Add to that the drug-fueled gun deaths by the drug gangs promoted by the Mexican Cartels.

Sometimes, problems have a way of correcting themselves. All part of the great reset. Depopulation is at its core.

I don’t get it either. Somehow, the lack of self-control for certain individuals turned into a discussion about China’s leadership and 9/11.

A foreign country has declared war on our country, and I am not on their side.

San Francisco is about 5 years ahead of the rest of the country. If things do not change in this country, we will all live like this, every day.

San Francisco— where druggies go to die. What a legacy.
To: mmichaels1970
That's always the case when an individual turns to drugs, criminal activity or abusive behavior. Many times, people turn out this way *bacause* of their family and friends.
But if you're talking about the homeless and druggies living on the streets of San Francisco, it's probably a good bet that no one in their family really cares what they do.

Says you.
Who would that foreign country be?
Sigh. Are you ok?
You are making no sense here today.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whatever, right?
Those people are gonna die from fentanyl eventually.
Get their kids and pets away and deliver that truck for them.
I worked with many an ER doc who would not say this in public but hmmm, maybe privately would say something similar.

I wouldn't be too sure. Sometimes what looks like "caring" turns into "enabling". Sometimes you have to let them go and hope they hit bottom and reach out for help. Sometimes you have to close your door and tell them they can't come back until they get help. It doesn't mean that you don't love them or don't care. I bet a lot of these folks on the streets have heart-broken loved ones that wish they'd turn it around.
If you want to really thin the herd, I say take the people distributing and manufacturing this stuff and execute them point-blank with a bullet through the head in the town square.

Some good news for a change.

Considering all the oxys and percs they were pushing, I wouldn't be surprised.

Agreed. What a wreck things have become. We've taken to listening to the police scanner of late. I think the country is burning down.
To: CatOwner
My 1st husband said that hard-drug use was eventually a self-cancelling problem-he first said that around 1974-I agreed then and I still agree. You can’t save everyone from themselves-it is not possible-some people seem to be born self-destructive...

As a workers comp case manager, I agree with that-they most certainly did not help the situation, and some encouraged doc-shopping...

So, you think that China has the right to pump the United States as full of fentanyl as they want? At the quantities that are coming in, they are giving it away.
