"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

The fentanyl crisis in the US is a direct result of addiction, overprescription & insufficient primary prevention + homelessness & our inability to care for one another (e.g. using fentanyl to self-medicate). Raising the price of US consumer goods will push more people towards addiction

We must stop him.
