You seem to have confused the current opioid epidemic as being caused by globalism, or economic hopelessness as you put it. None of your sources link those two

You seem to have confused the current opioid epidemic as being caused by globalism, or economic hopelessness as you put it.
None of your sources link those two, and U.S. unemployment is at a record low so I'm not sure what the point is you're trying to make here is. Yes, the opioid epidemic exists, but nobody was saying here that it doesn't, so why are you introducing it?
- Clubber 9y agoHere's an article that attempts to link it. I'm not sure how reliable the publication is, but I've heard it several times over the past few years. The opioid crisis is just a symptom. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/04/joblessness-and-opioids/523281/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/04/joblessne...
- bduerst 9y agoAll that says is that joblessness can be one of many factors in the opioid epidemic - it doesn't make a very strong case for it and still comes off as a fishing trip. It also doesn't explain why GP is introducing the opioid epidemic as a consequence of globalism.
