Sacklers–who made $11B off opioid crisis–to pay $225M in damages
I know everybody loves to hate on the Sacklers, but my life was dramatically better when I had access to opioids.  Because of the "crisis" it has gotten really difficult to get them, even for people who need them.  There are days when it's difficult to do much more than lie in bed in agony, but nobody beyond a small community of other pain sufferers seems to care.<p>I'm at least grateful for the few good years I <i>did</i> get thanks to opioids, before they became radioactive.  I hope some day we can swing the pendulum back toward compassion a bit.<p>Everybody seems to want politicians and cops (DEA) deciding who should get them and who shouldn't.  That may be an impossible mindset to change.
