Problem:
So… Our Country (along with many others) has a huge problem with Opioid Addiction, Heroin, and Homelessness. I am tired of seeing needles in parking lots and parks daily. Tired of the crackheads living in behind bushes, and in parks. Tired of building being over run by pimps and pushers. Tired of young girls going missing. Tired of my car getting broken into and cops telling there is nothing they can do. Even if they caught the guy, he’d be in and out.
But mostly…. I am tired of addicts abusing the system. Young adults who would rather ride the system and “Hustle” get paid by ODSP and selling drugs than enter work force.
Solution?:
What’s the answer? Because, a lot people are involved. Injection sites? More detox centres? More jail cells? Nothing at all because fuck it? Do we make drug companies pay a cost? Do we start charging physicians for over prescribing narcotics? Should it be tracked so dr’s are accountable?
If you give a kid a 30 day jail sentence for petty theft, will he learn a lesson? Or make new buddies in jail? Are we prepared to pay those jail costs?
The Fallout:
Cutting a generation off social assistance with incredible repercussions. Crime. Human trafficking. It will get bad. It seems to be a very pervasive attitude the jobs are for suckers. Easier to sell drugs, or women, (or be realtor) than work for living. (Yeah… I said that)
Personally, I was told years ago that the Chinese government ensures the West is flooded with drugs like Fentanyl as a way to destabilize our society. Can’t have a functioning work force or army if all the kids are hooked. Obviously, I personally have no proof of this… But it made sense to me, as the West coast seemed to get flooded with the shit first.
Do we collectively help our brothers and sisters get their lives back in order… or de we say “fuck it… not my problem”.
