The Supreme Court has rejected a nationwide settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma that would've shielded Sackler family members who own the company from civil lawsuits over the toll of opioids but also would've provided billions of dollars to combat the epidemic.
Again $6 billion is nothing, thats $120 million per 1/50 states, how much is even gonna go to each survivor or does the government annex it all basically, add it to the pork barrel to be distributed amongst their “tru$ted” partners/affiliates?
Oh, I completely agree that they made the right decision. My point is that the ruling is a double-edged sword if Trump wins in the fall.
In its current form its already nothing, its sets the price tag at $6 billion to addict the nation and start nouveau Opium wars and still get to keep a commi$h and get out of jail free for their service
We’ve already spent $52B in settlement funds on local police departments and cash payouts. Without a federal mandate for investment in rehabilitation programs, it’ll just end up spent the same anyway.
