    4 billion isn’t enough.. drug dealers are supposed to go to jail. Not continue a billionaire lifestyle. No justice served to the Sacklers.

      White collar crime pays very well. Unless you're poor. Jail is for poor people, not the rich.

    Humans need to make sure this information is passed on to the next generation so that we don't repeat the problems and promote the same solutions.

    Well, fact is, that family is not responsible for the millions of humans who have addiction.
    Just like a distillery is not responsible for alcoholics seeking out | drinking their product or bars making varied brands available.
    Give me a break.
    Opiate crisis is the failure to appropriately address ADDICTION. There is no opiate crisis, instead, there is an addiction crisis.
