The Opioid epidemic was no accident, it was deliberately engineered by the government to reduce "surplus population".
Lots of the opioids on the street come from "unsolved thefts" from VA government hospitals. (verifiable fact).
Also it's no coincidence that the VA kills so many vets through incompetence, or that the veteran suicide rate is so high. The "health care" vets receive is not merely incompetent, but malicious, and deliberately intended to make vets ctb.
