Yes, I agree. In fact you can see this in the US today. Pharmaceutical oligarchs pushed their opium so hard, showing ads on TV, literally bribing doctors to sell it, small town pharmacies prescribing over 300 pills per resident per year.
Vast swathes of rural USA are zombie wastelands full of people just decaying because of conservative policy.
This is what winning looks like. Nobody wants to be the first one busting out the forks and spoons.
300 pills a year doesn’t seem too bad.
That is less than 1 a day.
Don’t get me wrong I agree with you in general, I just think the numbers are weird
I do believe it's something like 300 per resident of the US per year, not specific residents with prescriptions. Just illustrating quantities, in other words.
Actually, I believe it might be worse than that, but I'm not looking it up, just tried to clarify.
Yeah… that is a little different. lol
