Who would win and lose by addressing the Opioid crisis or not? Consider their relative power (wealth) and organization/unity. It's the same for basically every issue. Humans can be altruistic, but organizations rarely are. Simply: change happens when expending power leads to a greater expected increase in (relative) power than doing nothing for a sufficient amount of power-brokers to overcome costs of change and opponents(those who expect to lose from the change). This is a structural issue, not human nature. Blaming the addicts helps to reduce the cost of doing nothing. The good(?) news is that this is tending to hit wealthier people than past epidemics and so is getting correspondingly greater attention. Rejoice! The problem is far worse than these sad, bullshit excuses.
