I have been listening to the audiobook “Chasing the Scream” by Johann Hari.

😐😐😐 The drug war was started by a government as corrupt as the trumps, the Harding admin took cash from the mafia to make drugs illegal so the mafia could have a new prohibition market. Part of this was striking off many thousands of doctors who were caring for addict patients. They drove pharmaceutical companies into the ground. Prices went from pennies to dollars. Treatment became illegal. Crime soared.

( The Harding admin caused /oversaw the Gilded Age and the Great Crash, just like trumps )

millions and millions of people have suffered or died because of appalling government corruption

i might never have believed it until I saw how corrupt the trumps are
