Haha. After.

This is only going to get worse as police staffing continues to drop...

DANG! I hate to see what happens on day 41!

Give it time.

DC is a powder keg ready to blow.

The opioid crisis is continuing. There are now shortages of commonly prescribed opioid pain medication like oxycodone. Insurance companies and pharmacists are refusing to fill chronic opiate prescriptions from primary care docs, and are insisting they go to pain management. People who have never touched a street drug are going to be driven in that direction because of withdrawal and/or pain. Hilarity will ensue.

It's turning into a free-for-all in DC....
