Cartels are in real trouble

It’s kind of legal shit. Opioid better tracks tobacco where you have salient info concealment and liability predicated on public nuisance. Externality type shit.
Physician sounds in med mal and is just a different animal that can’t really be grouped bc of procedure etc
Doesn’t make sense but I’m not sure how that company does their documentation. I’m guessing the Feds will try to extort money with a settlement. There’s a key paragraph in the article. Something like all were prescribed by practitioners that were federally licensed (active Dea number) and all prescriptions were for legal drugs.CVS is in some legal trouble again.
DOJ files complaint against CVS for facilitating unlawful sale of prescription opioids
The Justice Department has unsealed a civil complaint alleging CVS Pharmacy Inc. and various subsidiaries filled unlawful prescriptions in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act.apnews.com
They just want money but won’t touch the root cause
No they make them in a bunch of combos including all white
The ones filing the claims. Without a valid prescription a pharmacist can not dispense. Who writes the prescriptions? Who diagnoses and determines treatment algorithm?
Again it’s just a different scenario process. It would be an individual medical malpractice action. Caps. Proving liability. Just different. I’m sure those cases are out there but not in any grand difference making scale.
The cases that gave rise to settlements are brought by states and political subdivisions (counties and munis) represented by private firms. They were consolidated into an Mdl to include hundreds of plaintiffs. Some have a process if you were an individual you can recover a preset amount. Not much. The amount each political subdivision gets is also preset based on a formula
There’s just no legal process or infrastructure or framework to pursue doctors en masse
In the article that Lars linked…one of the reasons (the main reason if you read between the lines)….the pharmacy did not properly police the physicians. And yet the pharmacists are not allowed to diagnose or prescribe. It’s ass backwards.
Nothing worth doing is easy. But the status quo isn’t working. It’s getting worse.
Not sure I’d wear them but I do like them. Kind of like adidas campusHow are we feeling about NB

Question: How many innocents will die as a result and how many are you willing to live with?
I’d love for this to be capable of succeeding without the loss of innocent life. I don’t see a possibility, though, that that can happen.
I know drs can go to prison. This guy was a founder of Monroe Hospital.
Former Bloomington doctor Kamal Tiwari back home after release from prison

My guess….the prison sentence had to do with defrauding insurance companies and nothing to do with maintaining an addict. Hell….suboxone probably is #1 in scripts sold. Not pill volume but number of scripts. Norco is probably #2. Who writes all those scripts? Who refers Johnny to a pain clinic at the ripe old age of 33?I know drs can go to prison.

It’s a money thing for the states and fed. It’s why Murt said they won’t waste their time on docs. They don’t care about the crisis…they just want to redistribute money under the guise of doing something
Agree.
We agree the notion of the Special Military Unit sweeping into Mexico and wiping out the well established cartel is a big challenge. However, being doable may, or may not, be the case.
In terms of preventing the cartel's drug operation from getting worse, consider there is a need to curtail the demand side. This would include helping U.S. addicts and preventing others from becoming addicted.
Also we should remind ourselves the cartel has a presence in our communities capable of cyber- attacks in response to our military operation.
There has to be reasons we haven't taken the Special Military Unit attack in the past. Afterall, our military defense force is constantly evaluating threats and responses. Having said that, a mission of this nature would require a go ahead of the CIC. Trump could be the man.

Policing occasionally results in innocents losing their lives. Violence creates collateral damage. Do you want to disband police forces?
Seriously? Policing? How good is the US military at policing? And how many boots on the ground does it take to be an effective police force?
Mexico attempted it with about 100k troops and failed. Killed approximately 40k enemies. Arrested over 100k. And lost. Another estimated 300k-400k have been killed in retaliatory violence.
By most estimates, cartels are the 4th or 5th largest employers in the country. They now steal something like $2B/yr in oil from from pipelines in regions they control.
Our capabilities are obviously superior to the Mexican military. But the idea that this would be looked at as some small special ops type situation is ridiculous. We'd be peeling at an giant onion that could easily turn into an epic mess

Dude, I’m not saying the US military will be the police. I’m saying that violence begets violence and even cops create collateral damage due to the actions of criminals. Violence - when violent criminals are in play - happens.
We can’t make policy decisions based on inevitabilities.
And nobody is saying it’s easy. But our JSOC capabilities today dwarf what they used to be and can wreak havoc on cartels. Perhaps a “reset” in how the cartels behave should be the outcome. No more fentanyl. Coke and heroin fine. But if our intel shows us your fentanyl cook house, expect it to not exist 12 hours from now.
They do (if you don't count the silver swoosh). They're called the white pure platinums.
Appreciate the correction without calling me an idiot as is often the custom around here.
BW, you are indeed a gentleman.
Thank you.
I don't see us ever doing airstrikes in Mexico.
The biggest impact with the designation seems to be financial related. If one does any business with the cartel, you're now designated as providing material support to a terrorist org. That's a sticky wicket considering how much consumer product flows from Mexico... Starting with something as simple as produce in the grocery store, and how a producer or importer may be paying an extortion tax to the cartel in some manner
Look the truth will be somewhere in the middle. Crippling them financially is step 1 hell maybe it’s steps 1-5. But being able to decide “it’s time” and go **** somebody up six ways from Sunday in Mexico needs to be on the table and now it is.
These ****ers need to understand that we will kill them if they don’t get under control. They can stay in control and still get rich - or they can keep making poison and they can die.
I think the biggest issue with the cartels, ironically, is how fractured and fragmented they are compared with before the drug war. You don't really have any strong leader that could even say hey, we're going to cut a deal and eliminate fent and actually be able to enforce it through the organization.
Could be. But JSOC - which includes CIA - if given resources to focus can sniff these guys out relatively easily. How to take them down is a different question.
Recruiting assets in cartels to become new leadership that’ll behave is a possibility too.
