Looked like it, yes, probably heroin.

I think a lot of its drug related out there, starts with prescription/legal (opioids), although that then leads to illegal substances. When’s the western world going to accept they’ve lost the ‘war on drugs’ (whatever that means) and focus on better controlling substances legally and treating addiction properly with the tax proceeds.
Saying that, the US needs to sort their shit out on the prescription drug side of things as well. Truly frightening

Targeted the female population heaviest too. Tacking advantage of everything from rape trauma to post childbirth pain. No one has been immune from it including bible bashing soccer moms.Purdue set out with a deliberate strategy to get Americans hooked on an opioid.
Meanwhile they're jailing young black men for decades for marujana related offences.
What they needed to do was get themselves a stock listing. They'd have been fine.Purdue set out with a deliberate strategy to get Americans hooked on an opioid.

I'd say ultimately there's just one major problem with the USA and that's that 99% of the population (minimum) are cretins.Three things wrong with America - greed, guns and God.
Sometimes it feels like that but it's really not the case. The problem is the cretins are exceptionally loud and some powerful too.I'd say ultimately there's just one major problem with the USA and that's that 99% of the population (minimum) are cretins.

They invade anywhere in order to ‘keep the country safe’ when their own civilians commit mass murder every week.When the citizens are armed like a military battalion you are never truly safe even in such a beautiful area of the country

There is this thoughIndeed, the irony. Imagine this country with the levels of drug and alcohol abuse along with mental health issues and the general state of half the population. Then mix in some assault rifles. Doesn’t bear thinking about
There is this though

The wages and the houses keep calling me. The guns and the neighbours keep me away.
In fairness, I've always found it a warm and hospitable place to visit. With huge and staggeringly beautiful spaces too. A while back, I thought seriously about emigrating.
A few problems though.
1) Their nutters are well-armed and dangerous (and their police to some degree too!).
2) Getting a long term illness is a remarkably poor life choice.
3) They get bugger all annual leave.
4) A decent cuppa can be hard to come by.
Other than that though, I can see the attraction. It was really the last two that sunk it for me though.
Yeah, I love visiting the states and as you say they’re always welcoming and friendly
Add 20% tipping even in coffee shops to the list though….and current 8% 30 yr mortgage rates.
ps on a plus side, better coffee as standard even if tea options poor and huge food portions (as reflected by the size of most of the population)
The food in general is very poor quality. After a week I’m glad to leave.Been a while since I went (going back in august with the kids finally) but I recall the bread being grim. Sweet as a biscuit. And the bacon is shite.
The standard coffee is grim.Yeah, I love visiting the states and as you say they’re always welcoming and friendly

Depends where you are. Have to say I quite enjoyed my cuisine in Texas and Massachusetts, less so in Florida mind.The food in general is very poor quality. After a week I’m glad to leave.

Anyone with a decent career gets paid leave, normally the high paying low skill jobs that don't pay for leave, I.e. parcel delivery they get paid roughly 80k usd a year and get 0 leaveIn fairness, I've always found it a warm and hospitable place to visit.

Lousiana is fire, the food there was amazing. Po boys, paella and many other things, probably the best place I've ever ate tbh.Same. I’ve spent quite a lot of time in the south and the foods always really good…albeit not if you’re on a diet
Fucking madness. Have they killed him yet?
Plus the pirce on the shelf isn't the price at the till cos they don't add the fucking tax on.Yeah, I love visiting the states and as you say they’re always welcoming and friendly

Well they do for Petrol, yes it is super annoying but there is sort of a reason, let us say you are Tesco and every store is subject to a different tax rate, not just a common rate but categories are different. You can have State taxes, County and Town plus special districts and all sorts of other weird stuff.Plus the price on the shelf isn't the price at the till cos they don't add the fucking tax on.
I can remember walking to Highfield Road with my Grandad and passing an old fashioned sports shop, I can sort of visualise where it was, anyway the left side had hunting and fishing equipment. I was in the Air Training Corp as a kid and occasionally we would go shooting, old 303s that would bruise your shoulder. Times change.I love the different parts we have visited but without looking at the maths, at what point will they have killed more people in their own country than they lost in the Vietnam war, it’s a nuts environment with certain peoples views on the guns they can own and believe it’s right to own.
