Top down solutions mean someone that doesn't want to cut back will have to
Obviously not appropriate for everyone, but mass prescription numbers by itself are not evidence that individuals are taking too many
In other words: You first
It's a tough issue
I shouldn't be flippant

But the idea that non CBT
talk therapy has a better chance of helping isn't established

There aren't a lot of good answers and eliminating options by fiat is only going to cause us more problems in the long run
Speaking as a person w/ depression & a strong family history of mental illness

These things are tough as heck, so pls keep all options on the table #MentalHealthAwareness

w/ total respect @JackPosobiec
U are wrong,

for 1 thing this happened under encouragement & punishment by federal gov

For another chain pharmacies weren't pill-mills,
those ops are mostly independent,

which is why suits are being rolled back
reason.com/2021/11/24/sho…
no way to measure illegitimate prescriptions from legit,

DEA admitted under oath they had no way to track which orders were unethical or illegal

Yes there was overprescribing, but it isn't the fault of Walmart & CVS, as our system is physican-based
happywarrior.substack.com/p/crime-of-the…
@JackPosobiec suits are being rolled back
like in Oklahoma & California

public nuisance lawsuits w/ no teeth & little hard evidence to say these pharmacies were doing anything but what they were regulated to do

Blame Sacklers, but it ain't Walmarts fault

providers caught up in disciplinary action viewed as “good doctors” practicing within accepted norms of patient care.

physicians never charged with any crimes but could not recover after their practice had
been shut down, records confiscated, or had poor publicity in the media🤯
“They were coming in and busting a lot of docs and then making it so… that we didn't need that law to be
afraid.”

Anime & Manga are amazing,
but both facets of the industry is how terribly they treat their workers,

But that is a problematic Japanese business practice that you can find all over the place
crunchyroll.com/en-gb/anime-ne… #anime #manga
Then you have to ask:
as compared to what?

Animators & comics creators aren't paid very much hardly anywhere, both industries rely on underpaying talent & getting cheaper work outside of the country
Even video game development,

its a common business practice to treat workers like crap during crunch & outsource major sections of development to cheap companies in Malaysia & Vietnam,

So Anime & Manga in that sense aren't much worse than many big entertainment industries

from @speakingabtpain fabulous lecture at the FDA prescriber workshop Image
Image
public health looks at opioid prescribing from a top-down view, as what is the total national amount of opioids prescribed,

Making decisions based on lowering this number,

But they don't know what is happening to individual patients & don't make decisions based upon it Image

I'm seeing these type of posts all over my comics social media,

Nerds that aren't particularly politically engaged & are turbo nerds are feeling very frustrated with the BIG 2 these days
#comics #dccomics #Superman #JonKent @BoundingComics @BleedingFool #mcu #marvel Image
most of these collectors aren't comicsgate fans,
these are hardcore comic book fans that couldn't care less about the news of the day,

That DC is doing the impossible, finding a way to alienate them, is down-right impressive
Factor is totally ignored,
These guys are the ones buying the majority of books,

keeping the flame alive🔥

DC & Marvel are managing to scare them away💨
