Well, more like “They’re getting worried that the efforts to make them personally financially responsible for the harm caused by their greed will send them to the poorhouse, and now they’re fighting to try and shift blame onto each other”.

I suggest they hurriedly throw some cash into suitcases and then fly from airport to airport seeking and being denied asylum, until finally they are caught by one of our crack Seal teams that grabs them and deposits them in Guantanamo Bay where they can await trial.

Usually these families just fight about money. The source of a family fortune has to be seriously messed up if the heirs are climbing over each-other like crabs in a barrel to keep their reputations as well as their cash.

The Sackler wing of MoMA needs to be rechristened as a memorial to all the victims of Purdue pharmaceuticals. The money that was used to build it was stained with human blood and misery.

The reaction to it is largely driven by race, but we are also looking at a simply massive change in death rates that would qualify as a crisis in any case. https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates
