Sad state of US society. Do you think Japan deals with these issues in this way?

Little late to the party

They are late to get on this train 🚞 that left the station 🚉 years ago .They should have been alerted by the high number of overdoses in the Capitol .I agree with those that point out how many died with no Ángels trying to save their life’s , sad state of affairs in The USA 🇺🇸

Funny how a few short years ago in ‘other’ communities heroine addicts & crackheads either overdosed or went to jail for a long time there were no saviors that carried antidotes or solutions and no crisis was declared for those citizens Shaking my head
