Meanwhile the people responsible for the opioid crisis killed hundreds of thousands of people and didn't even have to admit wrongdoing, they just paid a fine. This country is fuuuuuucked up.

DO NOT COMMIT FINANCIAL CRIMES IF YOU ARE POOR.

If rich: See other rules on the reverse side of the page.

Other side of the page: we will fine you 40% if we catch you, you keep the other 60%, or 100% if we don't catch you.

Plus, the "fine" they paid was only a small percentage of their profits.

I emember a quote about "if the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it is only a punishment for the poor"

How are pharmaceutical companies responsible for the opioid crisis? Do they forcibly make people ingest opioids? The people who abuse opioids are responsible for the opioid crisis. It just easier to blame some faceless big evil corporation.

I had back surgery and nerve damage that caused excruciating pain recently and was prescribed opioids and I am not addicted in the slightest.
