With the cheap destructive meth and the opiate crisis taking it toll on a whole generation of Americans it destroyed many lives. Add to that the present crimewave affecting the entire nation caused by these demons of mankind. Short changed and left to rot in some shanty town homeless encampment as the end draws near. While people in politics pass laws to protect their asset building with such practices as inside trading in stocks. Ethical behavior at it’s lowest point since the inception of this country. Normalizing ‘GREED’ for all to see. Then comes the fall…like this guy just took. Doom is knocking.
Where’s your leaders?
China making drugs
Democrats making it legal to steal.
