The US does not have a fentanyl Czar. Our Czar should dictate what US should do to minimize fentanyl deaths (and domestic production), and demonize US inadequacy for making fentanyl a vector to extort Canadian sovereignty. We should not tolerate increased secret police cooperation with US, and use Czar as a "force multiplier" for US evil in world. Czar should DEMAND CDC/US agency data/reports on US failures. Pig fuckers intent on using fentanyl as a pretext for war on Canada, need to be exposed as pig fuckers maximizing domestic US deaths.
There are many measures NA can take to reduce fentanyl deaths that involve alternatives to shit talking China. Fentanyl is a problem exclusive due to overdoses from accidental fentanyl use. Fentanyl is a benefit, hospitals use, as a cheaper opiate dose.
US can do much more to curb opiate addiction including Pharma's role in bribing doctors for prescriptions, and non opiate pain relief prescriptions. But an opposing easy path to fentanyl deaths is making opiate pills "widely available", and "encourage cartels" to avoid escalating problems by switching to opiate pills we trust will be quality controlled. If mix of cartel/drug black market coercion/carrots policies, we can also ask them to stop heroin production/smuggling, so that only fentanyl is available on black market.
