A different world

Kadizzle needed sailboat crew yesterday.  Kadizzle recruited a young guy to go with him.  The young guy fits the profile of a lot of typical people in the age group from 20 to 28.  My first mate had his fling with drugs.  Kadizzle asked him how he got into the drug scene.  It seemed adults had a lot to do with it. First mate reeled off the names of several parents and the pain killer drugs they had. It appeared the parents were providing the drugs for teens.

This all leads to an interesting story first mate related.  Apparently he was seriously addicted to prescription drugs.  Someone or somebody got him onto a plane headed to Las Vegas and an addiction treatment center.  To calm him down on the plane trip they gave him some sort of drug that made him sleep.  So in a complete stupor the drug addicted fellow gets from point A to Las Vegas semi conscious.  When he comes out of his stupor he finds himself in a luxurious surrounding with green grass and palm trees.  Beside him is a nice looking girl.  Suddenly it appears to him that drugs have indeed fulfilled all his needs.  Gradually he realizes he is in a new very expensive facility to treat addicts. According to first mate it is a very expensive facility with hotel like rooms and the best of everything. The cost is $1,000 per day.  In no time at all he gets kicked out for drinking.  Currently he is in a much cheaper addiction treatment program.

Our country is in a crises of drugs.  Strangely it is not Mexico or Mexicans that are the problem.  It is American drug companies, and doctors.  The absolute worst drug dealers in the United States are the pharmaceutical companies.  In Kadizzles home state of West Virginia 9 million Oxycontin pills were sold.  Only three million people live there.  Surely big pharma must have noticed that they sold enough pills in West Virginia to give every one three.  No problem.

So the other day when Kadizzle had his little chat with Congressman Cramer.  The most worthless lickspittle one could elect.  Cramer said we needed to build a 21 billion dollar wall to protect us from Mexican drugs.  Kadizzle said what about the American drug companies.  Good old mister Trump junior just brush that off like no problem.  After all the drug companies are big donors to the Republicans.   So our kids are being poisoned by prescription drugs with the help of doctors.  This is the for profit American health care at it's worst.  So let us just live in the dream world of Donald Trump and Fox News and forget about the unpleasantness of reality.
