You know that many immigrants that do not burden the system more than they contribute, right?

Just got back from north of Waterville. Everyone is abusing the system up there, as they drink beer and smoke dope, some at 70+ years old - while on govt and state support. Then the millennial bums, sniffing anything and shooting heroin. Too much for free, why work.

Everyone is a pretty big group. Are there any qualifiers on everyone? My clients in Waterville have always worked in some capacity.

Everyone Tiffany. Qualifiers? I went home today to visit my family. Everyone is on the dole Tiffany, in one form or another. And I’m talking about my family, not clients. I will always be grateful to my grandfather, who came up when I was 5 and took us out of there.

The entire city is not on the dole. Saying it's a problem & working to address the problem is enough without broadly brushing a town into the dust. A lot of rural Maine is struggling with economic strife, addiction, etc.

We address the problems by providing clean needles and Narcan, so folks can leave methadone clinics and kill innocent people with their cars. It’s madness Tiffany. And you know it. Stick a needle in yourself at your own peril, family or not.

I would love to see us working more broadly on treatment for substances. It's a very difficult habit to kick & the resources available are pretty sparce/lacking efficacy. I haven't got the energy at past 11 for a rant about methodone/suboxone.

Well Tag, you know I'm not a democrat. I highly doubt that ridiculously expensive wall will do more prevention than those same funds used elsewhere. We should be looking for effective solutions, which includes weighing benefits with costs.

A lot of the addiction problems are related to over-prescription, and not having a broader range of accessible and comprehensive pain managment options.
