- CEOs gathered around the table, telling spooky stories
  "If you say his name in the mirror three times, he'll come for you!"
  
  Will he still come for me if I’m not a CEO? 🤤
The opioid epidemic was manufactured for profit. The fact that there are not heads rolling shows everything our government says about drugs is a lie.
So after years of "cartels this and cartels that. Immigrants are bringing the drugs!" It once again turns out to be corporations killing us for a profit.
Surprise! It's unbridled capitalism that's destroying your life. (Well, not really a surprise at this point unless you're a complete idiot.)
Could someone please rewrite this story in words of one syllable and post it on Truth Social? We need to weaponize Trump against pharmacy benefit managers. I'm sure they probably gave him money, but he's well known for breaking his deals.
- Socialist drug lords like Purdue Pharma spent secret money to allow the free market flow of opioids
  That might get their attention
  
  I think they know "Big Pharma Pushed Opioids".
  I want to work on "Secret and corrupt PBMs create more homeless opioid addicts every day to feed their own greed."
Blame Canada!
- 25% tarrifs sure will stop American corporations.
  
  Will sure help secure all those people travelibg across the American border....
  Protect your own shit fuckheads!
How DARE you question the ethics and integrity of gigantic multi-national pharmaceutical corporations! We're relying upon them to inject the entire population with a completely safe and effective novel drug, which ~~makes them shitloads of money~~ protects us from the deadliest plague ever known.
