Millions of mainly poor people linger in prison for mainly nonviolent drug offenses, while the billionaire Sackler family - the real criminals in the opioid crisis - suffer little more than a financial slap on the hand and their names removed from the walls of elite institutions.

“The Sacklers say they bear no responsibility for the crisis and are likely never to face trial, owing to the sweeping protections built into a bankruptcy settlement that dissolved Purdue Pharma last month.”

Many people around the world are dying from imperialistic shithole governments backed by silly people who can't see the trees for the forest. After your last few miserable takes i don't think you hold any moral high ground ,you absolutely need sensitivity training!

Corporate law protects the people that run them ... we have to many corporate disasters ... and no one ever goes to jail.

Watch Dopesick on HULU, based on the nonfiction book with the same name. All about how the opioid epidemic started. The Sackler family are disgusting and corrupt. npr.org/2021/10/14/104590427…

Dear Marianne, love your tweeting, but occasionally, I'm tempted to reply. Prisoners are CHEAP LABOR, an ultimate result of the RACE TO THE BOTTOM. They are being punished to make someone RICH, not for they have done.

Justice and accountability in America 😏

Across several administrations of both parties was this crime committed and the ringleaders get to stay billionaires. This is exhibit 1 of the rot in our country. Justice denied for the dead. Laws don't apply to the rich.

And the cowards of this country!! Those so vocal,now silent. The “healers” the “spiritual gurus” chanting obscenities at Trump. Having a spiritual crisis ? You have participated in elder abuse,sexual, child, human and drug trafficking, lies and corruption. COMPLICIT!
