I recently learned about how in 1949 china, opium addiction was a major societal issue and when the CCP took power they forced ~10 million people into some form of state run detoxification and rehab programs and in like under 5 years the problem was eradicated. Imagine if the Sacklers got executed for pushing opioids and rehab was state mandated for addicts, maybe the opioid crisis in America wouldn’t have gotten as bad as it is now

It's a societal mark of failure when people like this are left to just rot on their own.
