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.


The American electorate genuinely isn’t very bright. I really hate to say it.
Most people on this planet are just straight up dumb as fuck. You can never convince me otherwise. My whole life this has been confirmed over and over and over again.
Even if a person is smart, they still have blind spots and areas in which they are still indeed dumb as fuck. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, those blind spots lie in things like politics, economics, and civics.
Even if person is smart and highly educated he still seems to have the ability to dwell in stupidest bubbles.
I travelled a lot and met people from a lot of countries. Plenty of them were stupid. The country from where I met most stupid people is the USA, both in quantity of people and in how stupid they can be. They win over any other country by a very large margin.
I think depending where you travel people have limited access to education, where as Americans are willfully ignorant and uneducated, which does infact make us come off as dumber. I know really smart people who believe a lot of fucking foolish shit or just don’t know anything outside of their narrow expertise.
The U.S. is unreasonably stupid given the wealth
No you don’t
I assume they also live here and then yeah it does fucking suck to deal with it day to day
Naw, people love saying shit like that about large groups of people.
