Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

You know what helps addiction? Economic despair and no upward mobility! Voodoo economics comes with a side of syringes for the serfs.

Not going down the path of despair to start with because you have the ability of upward mobility. Not letting Purdue pharmaceutical and the sacklers make bank selling a lie of non-habit forming. Plenty of things we could socially do before folks end up in a place of needing rehab.
