@beermeplease that’s a good one, yes. 👍
@beermeplease Opioids do have their place in medicine, when properly prescribed and controlled. However that being said, the family behind oxycontin should go to prison for lying to the FDA and the public that it wasn't habit forming, YET, the opioid epidemic came directly from them over that lie in 1998.

@beermeplease I agree with that, although I’m not sure how it could’ve been avoided. I listen to music I love, watch tv shows and see artists I really liked who took themselves out by overdosing. Such a waste. 😞

@bijouxbroussard i was walking through a park near my apartment at 7am this morning. there are about a dozen homeless people that camp out there. there was this one guy in the middle of the parking lot higher than a kite, hunched over with his pants falling down. pretty sad sight to see, especially since i don't live downtown in the big city ...my city used to be much nicer

@beermeplease My city was once much nicer, too. People who don’t live here make jokes about it. But the origins of our homeless problem stem from our state hospital system (to which people from all over the country were sent or chose to go), which was [b]privatized[/b] under Governor Reagan. So, all of a sudden, people who couldn’t pay were sent to halfway houses or dumped out on the street.

@bijouxbroussard very similar circumstance here....we shut down our mental institution because of high costs. much rather see my tax dollars help my own people out rather than send billions to war ravaged and third world countries...i'm all for helping those people out but we really should look after our own first
