The problem with the wall and border security isn't about its effectiveness. We have the manpower, and means to shutdown that border. The problem always was what to do with the people caught and how to treat people living near it on both sides.

Most of the complaining about the effectiveness of it from people who oppose the wall is just attempting to mask or not wanting to address the glaring human rights issues regarding it.

You could even build and maintain the wall using funds that already exists in our military budget. You just need to trim some programs, move some bases, reconfigure some factories. It is all really doable.

I hate how you guys don't even bother coming up with intelligent replies. You are ruining the discourse of this forum.

macbeth we are intelligent enough to know when you are trolling and provoking. we've all been here for about a decade. we've all done it ourselves from time to time. we all know the forum is dying but you don't have to artificially stoke the fire by making tendentious opinions.

In an attempt to help slow the prescription drug abuse epidemic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that immediate-release opioid painkillers such as oxycodone and fentanyl will now have to carry a "black box" warning about the risk of abuse, addiction, overdose and death.

Prescription opioid painkillers are divided into two main classes -- extended release, which have more pain-killing opioid per dosage, and immediate release, which have less opioids, but need to be taken more frequently. Ninety percent of opioid prescriptions are for immediate-release painkillers, the FDA said.
The "black box" warnings are the FDA's strongest, and they're meant to educate doctors as they're prescribing medications to patients.

This is great news and a step in the right direction. But I am not sure why the government has to mandate it.

You're right, this is exactly the kind of thing the free market should resolve with no outside interference.

My free market textbook said that entrepreneurs would label their medication their own way to protect their brand's reputation. How could this not be the case?

They'd mould them in multiple colours, print 'M's on them and sell them to kids.

That wouldn't happen for long. A consumer boycott would straighten out the situation and force the drug manufacturers to change their practices.

Consumers are going to boycott off the shelf opiates.

OK.

consumers can't even boycott candy when they know full well that high-sugar diets are ripping their arseholes a new one.

Lots of junkies here on Cape Cod. With Narcan now they can OD more than once. My Firefighter/EMT buddy sees the same people over and over. They get pissed because it ruins their buzz. Eventually the EMTs don't get there in time though.

Problem is that Narcan saves them over and over. This inflates the numbers a bit too. That helps with more $ for the War on Drugs.
