That&#x27;s the weirdest thing about this whole saga. Opioids are not illegal, they haven&#x27;t been removed from insurance or Medicare coverage, and doctors are still free to over-prescribe them with little to no repercussions.<p>It&#x27;s kind of like if Ford got sued out of existence for every traffic death, but every other manufacturer got to keep making cars.

The only way to deal with this is to go after the execs personally who are responsible for corporate wrongdoing.

Opioids continue to be over-vilified. They&#x27;re very useful and beneficial drugs.

I sort of liked the purity of Percocet if only it hadn’t been so loaded with Tylenol.<p>Why not make a pure 5mg opioid and lemmon Quaaludes again ?

Its US liabilities and creditors exceed its US assets<p>Bankrupt doesn&#x27;t mean you don&#x27;t have any money, it means someone else sorts out whats in that particular bucket of assets<p>I’m not familiar with what people actually want to occur or how it makes sense, I feel like its a derivative of prosperity preaching where a code of behavior is rewarded with wealth and therefore opposing behavior is punished with no wealth for an arbitrary indefinite time period, but I don’t see anything supporting that in all of history
