In Colorado Springs, meth accounts for the majority of drug overdose deaths. Many of the deceased were living outside, using the drug to stay awake.

It’s not that anyone had to do anything.
But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it’s worth digging into why that’s happening. These are people for fucks sake.
I think deep down the idea of a world where things like this happen to individuals who don’t deserve it terrifies a lot of people, so they bend over backwards looking for ways to justify it
AKA Absurdism
The world is less frightening if it makes sense, even if the ways it makes sense don’t make sense.
Homeless dying from drug overdoes has been dug into. Turns out druggies tend to become homeless to feed their addictions.
That is a gross, incorrect, and dehumanizing oversimplification of a terrible problem. It’s a deep shame developed countries haven’t completely solved homelessness.
So what’s the solution?
Offer them help, which we are, but it’s ultimately their decision to accept that help.
So you’re criticizing the problem without offering a solution because your answer says nothing.
Oof, man, bums dying from doing meth. Welp. Now who will live in the dumpsters and stink like shit when they harass normal people?
How does it feel to be a crab in a bucket?
I swear, some people live for the opportunity to look down their nose at someone. If not for that feeling of smug superiority, they might have to face the societal failures that could put themselves in the exact spot.
No, better to think you’re too good to hit rock-bottom than face the fact that anyone could be thrown away by the hierarchy that you put so much misplaced faith in.
Our society has made a choice that some people should be homeless. Instead of reflecting on that fact, you assist in dehumanizing those who you clearly know nothing about. What a cool dude.
Nah homie. I manage my meth addiction by not doing meth. Therefore, I don’t die. Ezpzpi. Bums reap what they sow.
Not your “homie.”
And you didn’t address anything I said.
I can see introspection isn’t your strong suit.
Sure thing, homie! I’m not in a “crabs in a bucket” scenario because I am not a street garbage piece of shit meth lover. I would probably consider myself more of an “arm the homeless” kind of guy because they’ll just kill each other and then the police will come in and sweep up the dregs. And I’m a “feed the homeless” kind of guy, but more like feed them sandwiches with marbles and thumbtacks in them so they break their teeth and get infections. You need to be proactive, like running entire homeless encampments through industrial shredders and then bulldozing the resultant slurry into the ocean. 😉
You are, without a doubt, the worst kind of human being.
Like I said, what a cool guy.
It takes a real winner to be an edgelord in 2023.
Love that for you. All of your friends must be so happy to know you.
