Get to the core of it --> Big pharma corporate donations to politicians, that's why Congress is turning a blind eye on the pharmaceutical industry!
-
To allow any corporation to be too big to prosecute or too big to fail undermines our government.
-
Kind of makes you wonder if the whole war on drugs is a scam.
-
meanwhile, people serve life sentences for marijuana
-
So follow the money and arrest the corrupted politicians.
-
Many of the senators and house representatives who allowed this to happen, they own stocks in the pharmaceutical companies and stocks in Methadone clinics. They wanted people to get addicted.
-
People are responsible for what they put in their bodies; we place blame and use the prison system to fight a “problem,” but there is little education and rehabilitation programs. Follow the money, the government isn’t helping at all.
-
Almost every time I hear about a problem in the US it seems to lead to a big corporation that is using lobbying to influence politicians. Lobbying is at the core of so many problems. We need to curtail it.
-
Lucky they did not Get caught with pot!
-
It's simple, the DEA lawyers want to get a job in the drug industry after their DEA career. Drug companies hire from the DEA to get an advantage. If your the lawyer who went after the Drug company, your chances of getting a job is slim.
-
It sounds like McKesson is influencing the thinning of ambulance tires.
-
Ironic that if you had a drug conviction on your record, chances are you couldn't work at McKesson.
-
I feel like the law is so poorly written that any good lawyer can make their illegal acts legal. That is why no one wants to face them, you kind of got to hope that the judge is thinking about the people.
-
It's all about the money. I'm curious to know how much money McKesson has given to the Presidential candidates for their bid for the election 2020.
-
Mckesson, the new Pablo Escobar
-
Huh...and as a vet with a permanent spinal injury and I have to sign & swear not to abuse & can barely get a pill or shot when needed...
-
It's a club and you ain't in it.
-
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who receives special treatment. Follow the money, and those in power!
-
Instead of s war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me! -2Pac 1993
