    “We are being overrun with fentanyl,” said Senator Rob Portman. “It is 50 times more powerful than heroin. It is very inexpensive. It is coming primarily from China and coming primarily through our U.S. Postal Service, if you can believe it.”https://nyti.ms/2N1nLZY

        It's the Opium Wars all over again. If you want to undermine and weaken a society, get the populace hooked on opioids.

        It's fun, isn't it? The thought of being slyly, slowly attacked by the Chinese while Russia undermines our election processes? Add constant natural disasters on top and the U.S. will be a fallen empire before you know it! Weeee!

        If only we had a president who has a strong relationship with China’s Xi & who might therefore be able to prevail upon his totalitarian pal to clamp down on fentanyl exports. But our current president* is an ineffectual & dimwitted blowhard who gets played by every world leader.

        All talk no action. Like passing bills does the work. Why don’t they go after the bigger dealers. The drug companies that legally sell opioids to users. Like always moneys makes you blind to see evil.

        Just finished reading “Dopesick” about 10 mins ago! It’s a great read about how we got here and the ongoing challenges of opioid addiction.
