For more than a decade, the United States has faced a relentless and heartbreaking increase in fatal drug overdoses driven by synthetic opioids. A new analysis suggests this trend has suddenly reversed due to a major disruption in the global supply chain of illicit fentanyl. Published in Science, the study indicates that regulatory actions taken by the Chinese government, following high-level diplomatic engagement with the Biden administration, may be the primary driver behind this unexpected decline in mortality.

      No, and they should be easily removed, I have lived with 5 presidents in my lifetime so far, and I can tell you it fucking sucks being stuck for just 4 years with one and when they get two terms it’s a fucking nightmare, I kinda think we should get rid of the president entirely
