Sure, for anybody else that didn't connect that this was a US death in a US city and my corroborating source was from a US news publication citing a US government agency with US data that specifically counted US deaths, you can rest easy now.
In all seriousness, it is interesting to think about the idea that the supply chain pollution is primarily affecting US, sounds like we can still go wild in Europe.
- jason0597 4y agoI think some room for interpretation exists. This is Deutsche Bank after all, a German bank. For all I knew it could have been an Austrian whistleblower
- vmception 4y agothere’s an article above the comment section
- wallaBBB 4y agoSupply chain pollution is affection everyone, but fentanyl is really not a thing outside of US, which is what the top comment was warning about.
- atdrummond 4y agoThis isn’t true. Canada has a far larger fentanyl problem (as a proportion of the drugs used, not in gross consumption) - particularly in BC.
- vmception 4y agoYeah Vancouver authority is just giving out free drugs now because the government supply is clean. A solution. Maybe we should say North America has the problem? Not sure
- tpm 4y agoDon't go wild on opiates anywhere, it's one of the harder manageable addictions.
- toomanydoubts 4y agoYeah, but you have to concede that "anybody" means anybody. You can't go around changing the meaning of words and expecting people to just grok it and then act all smug when people don't. That affirmation about the fentanyl will sound weird for the major part of "anybodies" around the world.
- vmception 4y agoAlright, sure its a valid perspective
- zeven7 4y ago"anybody" doesn't always mean "anybody". There's often context.
- zaroth 4y agoIn fact “anybody” virtually never means “everybody” and it’s almost always a cheap shot to shut down a comment or a statement with a pithy counter-point to “disprove” anybody. Basically you can’t safely use the word in the vernacular and expect to have a productive discussion, which is unfortunate. Because we all know what was meant.
