Fantastic reporting on an angle of the opioid crisis that has generally managed to stay out of public eye: the owners of Purdue Pharma. One key thing I learned, besides juicy details about this family that makes Knives Out look realistic, is that Purdue Pharma's filing for bankruptcy is not because it had to pay out so much in lawsuits. Far from it--the company was intentionally bled dry by spiking family payouts from the millions to the billions in a preemptive asset drain, and the bankruptcy is a known legal strategy to freeze lawsuits.

I say we vote these schmucks off the planet. They should be the first ones we sacrifice to Bezos's playground.
