Twitter chat: Americans are pessimistic about the opioid crisis. What does that mean for a solution?
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/twitter-chat-americans-pessimistic-opioid-crisis-mean-solution/
A recent PBS NewsHour/Marist poll showed that Americans consider opioid addiction a “serious and growing” problem. And they don’t foresee the crisis improving without intervention.
The poll, released in partnership with the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, also showed Americans are largely split on who is to blame for the epidemic — the government, the healthcare field or pharmaceutical companies — and are even less sure who should be responsible for solving the crisis. They all did agree, however, that Congress and President Donald Trump aren’t doing enough to fix the problem.
To discuss additional poll findings as well as how this insight can be used to help end the addiction crisis, the PBS NewsHour will host a Twitter chat at 1 p.m. ET Oct. 5 with NewsHour’s data producer Laura Santhanam (@laurasanthanam) and Andrew Kolodny, the co-director of opioid policy research at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management (@andrewkolodny).

Well, I see it is Klonody again! Why is he everywhere and where are he chronikc pai. Representatives? It will just be another one sided tamale.
Kolodny is a fame-whore who is lining his pockets from all of this. Not only is he exploiting parents who’ve lost their children due to addiction, but also reaping the rewards of others forced to suffer needlessly from unrelenting physical pain. He will one day have to answer to God as to why his love of money was more important than having compassion towards those suffering.
