What are you trying to prove with with your posts? Are you arguing that there is not a huge opiate problem in southern WV? If you are then you could not be any more wrong. It is obscene that 20M opiate pills were sold through 2 of the 8 pharmacies in a tiny town in Bumfuck middle of nowhere WV. Get your head out of your ass and stop arguing for the sake of arguing.
8 in Williamson. Trust me this is not about a sensational headline the pill problem was huge in southern WV, now its a heroin problem. Instead of trying to be an internet know it all why don't you listen to people who are intimately familiar with the situation and learn something. There is a reason people around here say the Mingo(insert your southern WV county of choice) mating call is the sound of someone shaking a pill bottle, its because people around here will do anything for dope.
I'm in a much smaller town than Williamson and I can think of 3 pharmacies within 5 miles of my current location. If I expand that to 15 miles I can think of 10 off the top of my head and I'm on the outskirts of pill territory.
The local industry (coal mining, nothing else) does produce a lot of long term injuries, but they don't employ a lot of people. This is very much a problem of the drug manufactures pumping pills into the state.
The problem is two fold. One the coal industry dominates this area of WV and results in a lot of painful injuries. Second those injuries lead to addiction which the drug industry knowingly feeds. Once they get you addicted to the pain pills they keep you addicted under the guise of treatment with Suboxone.
You are assuming that the oxy's were Percocet which would be available in 7.5 and 10mg dosages. A good bit of them were likely Oxycontin which would be anywhere from 10mg to 160mg per pill. They quit making the 160's early on because that's a stupid amount of drug to put in one pill so a lot of them were most likely the 80mg variety until the non crushable version was released, which lead to the intro of and popularity of Opana for a few years until they were also forced to make non crushable, which lead to the intro of heroin to WV.
Possibly one of the most naive comments I've ever read.
"In short, this sounds like someone with an axe to grind trying to inflate emotional response by using a 10 year metric that only indicates how much opiates are getting shipped into community pharmacies, not how much is actually being doled out and prescribed to the community."
I live near there, the pills were definitely being dispensed.
I'm not sure why everyone is just focusing on sexual harassment and not harassment in general. Males and females alike have to endure harassment at the workplace all the time and that's what we need to work toward eliminating. In my experience the same guy that sexual harasses women at work acts like a douche bag to everyone he works with and harasses men too.
I've had really good luck with Brother. I just bought a new with a duplexer to replace the old one that is still going, but I did notice the new one does not print as well as the old one.

You should probably read a little about the history of opium.
"Now I don't take any opioids so I dunno how many pill an addict needs per day, but I'd say at least two,likely more, but at least two."
The answer is how many do you have?
Work, steal or suck. How do junkies anywhere else pay for drugs?

Both.
WV was created during the Civil War. The state split from VA and joined the North.

Speaking as a somewhat local, I wish you were correct, but majority of those pills were abused.

I still buy CDs, it's usually cheaper than buying MP3s.
You really think firearms are going to put you on even ground with the US military?
I thought you might know what you were talking about until you called a magazine a clip.
Things are always grey. One of the problems with society now is that everyone sees everything in black and white. Only the sith deal in absolutes.

Yeah, MIT would be nothing without a football team.
Maybe we should rethink paying fucking football coaches multi millions of dollars a year and use that money to pay teachers.

They give off 10x the radiation, so you can use a 10x smaller bomb if all you want to do is kill people with radiation.
Easy, they do it the same way I block Google's stupid ads, with uBlock.
Offer people who have not had children $50k to be sterilized. If they decide to have children later pay the $50k back and have the procedure undone.
I live in a state that does not require a permit to carry a weapon.
