The Sacklers plan is to sell more opioids overseas to pay for the harm they caused here with opioids.
These ppl are disgusting.
Second Hearing on Sackler Family’s Role in Opioid Crisis and Need for Reform. via @YouTube
We pay $80B each year to care for ppl dealing with opioid addiction.
The Sacklers are “willing to pay” a one-time penalty of $212M.
For a family that doesn’t pay income tax, that, uh, that sounds like a pretty bad deal.
We’ve told Democrats 3x to do more about drugs coming over the southern border. I have nothing to say about the actual hearing in which the topic is holding one particular murdering family accountable, I just want to pretend I’m worried about stuff.

Above all else he wants to make sure no rich ppl has to be responsible for any poor ppl.
