Because it’s driven by intense desperation. You don’t help addicts by ambushing them, you help them by understanding what’s caused them to be the way that they are and how to break their system of dependence. You can’t advance as a society without being able to break unhealthy cycles. So yes, monstrous but sympathy-worthy

It makes JD even more of a piece of shit because how do you grow up around something like that and then go to work for the party who's protecting those companies from being held liable for their epidemic. This fentanyl bullshit is all a smokescreen to protect pharma and make people forget the problem was HOME GROWN.

I'm sure you don't mean it that way, but I think even the phrase "be the way that they are" is lacking empathy and looking at it the wrong way. It's not about the way that they are; it's about the way that they are handling the stressors in their life.
