Did I read something different? What I saw was a group literally conspiring to mold the narrative so that people wouldn't have fuel for conspiracy theories. More irony than the Eiffel Tower. This isn't to say I think it's me

It's not the opioids causing the tent cities, it's the new generation of meth synthesized from phenyl-2-propanone (rather than ephedrine). Check out this article[1] or Sam Quinones book "The Least of Us" [1] https:&#x2F
