@Hollahollara @bot @eris @D00B It took some time for me to understand that this isn't the dust bowl, and it isn't rising rent, and it's not "regular" addiction. Obviously there's been the issue of untreated mentally ill people for decades now once state institutions were shut down, but fentanyl... Literally turns off your "I give a shit about anything except fentanyl" switch. Including not freezing to death. These people need to be forcebly removed if they're going to be saved (which I personally feel extremely conflicted about and is impossible if fent is a misdemeanor here now). The only thing to do is to stop it coming in, which we have never ever ever been able to do with any drug.

I don't know what happens next. Is it like a rapture where we just have to wait for all the people who are susceptible to this kind of addiction to overdose? Like a plague? I hate to be so blackpilled but I really don't know. I know crack is still out there but you never hear about it anymore
