The homeless armies currently vexing San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other cities, consists largely of substance abusers who cannot afford dwellings because they spend all their money getting high. They also cannot keep jobs. This is now an epidemic in the USA. Four companies that manufacture opioids have made a legal settlement this week, where $260 million

will be paid to communities struggling with drug addiction. The lawsuit cites 400,000 overdose deaths in the USA between 1997 and 2017, and now with heroin being laced with fentanyl, death is rising among addicts. Here's some stats. Half of all unemployed men in America are addicted to opioids. Opioids account for 70% of fatal prescription drug overdoses. Experts say there are likely 2.4 million Americans addicted to opioids. Overdose rates have doubled in the past decade. Approximately 259 million prescriptions for opioids were written last year, enough to give every adult in the country their own bottle of pills. One in a hundred citizens between the ages of 12 and 17 abuse opioids on a regular basis,

and four out of five new heroin addicts say they started out misusing prescription pain killers. The CDC estimates opioid abuse is an $80 billion a year problem, including health care costs, treatment, and its impact on the criminal justice system. There is no question that America leads the league in drug addiction, and that includes folks psychologically addicted to pot and booze. We have money in this country, and our closest neighbor, Mexico, is pretty much run by drug smugglers, so do the math. Drug addiction is a disease, but one that is sought out. Everybody knows the dangers of hard drugs, yet millions decide to use them, often leading to disaster for themselves and others, especially children. 75% of all the child abuse and neglect in America is caused by adults using substance.

The only solution is mandatory rehab where addicts are confined and therapy provided. But civil libertarians will not accept that. The ACLU will never allow mandatory rehabilitation.

United, actually crushed a worker on the runway earlier this year, killed a family dog in flight, even forced a passenger to sit in another person's vomit, not to mention multiple arrests
