America will have this same building be bought by a corporate real estate firm who’ll do nothing to improve it outside of bare minimum regulations and charge $2,000 a month

They aren’t worth anything. All they do is ask for money and shoot up heroin

This makes a whole lot less sense when you realize that the majority of America is one unfortunate ambulance ride away from being below the poverty line, steeped in debt and having only a few rent payments away from eviction. Many of this majority are employed, just tryna get by. Plus, once you actually are homeless or homeless-adjacent, you’re pretty much immediately denied most jobs that you might actually be qualified for because you’re homeless

As someone who has lived in one of the hardest hit cities by the opioid epidemic, consider yourself lucky you’ll never be prescribed oxycontin for chronic back pain. That you’ve never been abruptly ripped off a medication that made you feel young again. That you’ve never run out of money buying those pills from third parties. That pharmaceutical companies can’t just advertise addictive substances as nonaddictive and pass them out to as many people as possible. It’s not partisan.

America’s drug problem stems from people from all walks of life being exploited for corporate profits. Eat shit and die or show compassion asshole
