No wonder Walgreens is leaving crazy town
The Opioid problem has been going on in CA Bay Area since the 90’s.
Walgreens had nothing to do with it.
The cause was:
Dr careless prescriptions
Illegal internet sales
Drugs from Mexico
War in Afghanistan (cheap opium -> Drug companies)
San Francisco encouraging drug use.
I heard of my first Heroin death back around 2000 in the Bay Area.
I remember because it sounded so strange as I thought Heroin use ended back in the ‘60s.
All of these chains with pharmacies being extorted by governments across this country should immediately REFUSE to Fill any prescription of an opiate to ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEE’S
This is Bulls^^t!
“Zero responsibility for government regulators at the FDA.....”
BINGO! Everything in every store has been approved as “safe” by the FDA. I’m not a fan of “woke” Walgreens, but this is a BS ruling.
...and Walgreens would have been sued if they refused to fill the prescription.... This country totally sucks!
I dont get it either. Heres the court logic in a snippet from the story:
“U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer found last August that Walgreens “helped fuel” the opioid epidemic in San Francisco by failing to provide its pharmacists will sufficient resources and putting pressure on them to quickly fill prescriptions.”
Its just incredible how fascists work. Fascists are socialists who some keep private enterprise around to do the real work. When things are good govt takes credit. When they need to blame someone for something negative, they use private business as the whipping boy.
Why would Walgreen’s stay in SF?
