Its no joke in the DC area right now. My parents are moving to a hotel, poo poo is crashing on their roof and no power since early this morning. Google is telling me that 700k are without power and the number is expected to go up.

My fiance and I are driving up 270 to have dinner at her parents and this wind is loving throwing the car around with ease. I'd say we should just crash at her parents house tonight if we didn't have dogs waiting at home. Also saw one of the condos down the street from have had it's roof blown away, so uhh yeah, this wind isn't loving around.

Also this is a pretty good barometer for the current state of affairs: I'm taking an entrepreneurship course right now. We had some people that work for the city come in and tell us about small business opportunities in the area. One of their talking points they mentioned as an advantage of the area? It's beyond the 100 mile blast radius of DC if missiles start flying.

This got skipped over earlier because it was just a link, but... https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/mar/02/carl-icahn-shares-sell-trump-steel-tariffs-announcement-timing quote:Carl Icahn, a former special adviser to Donald Trump, sold $31.3m of shares in a company heavily dependent on steel imports last week, shortly before Trump’s announcement of new tariffs sent its shares plummeting. It's like every other day we have something below the fold that would be a major scandal for any other president.

The 2 friends I was travelling with got a US plated rental and continued the trip. Two other friends were driving from NYC. There's a bridge in NOVA that was closed due to wind and they're both stranded at the wrong side of. And the REAL kicker is the thing I was most excited for was the Smithsonian air and space museum. Which was closed today. OH WELL it means I get to be home and my sister had her babby today so that's more important.

The info graphic at the CDC for opiate prescriptions is damning. No state has less than 50 prescriptions per 100 people. Some even more so.

I was thinking more on the doctor-patient side. What are people saying to get fat stacks of pills? I go in there pale as gently caress from a kidney stone and get maybe 18 percocets or something.

The controlled substances act puts a responsibility on the distributors/supply chain to put controls in place so that you don't go shipping 7k pills per capital to a single town. It's a pretty clear failure and if the feds in the FDA/DEA even gave as much of a poo poo about those regs as the other feds in the treasury do about AML/CTF regs in the banking system, there'd be gargantuan fines being levied.

How does a small-town doctor cave to the pressure of just giving their patients one of the nearly most addicting pain meds, or be replaced by someone who will? Truly a mystery.

I go in there pale as gently caress from a kidney stone and get maybe 18 percocets or something. Years ago, doctors could get various forms of kickbacks from Big Pharma based on how many prescriptions they wrote and nobody really kept track. A lot of times they would get visited by Pharma reps that would encourage the use of their specific drug of choice versus another company's drug and their bonuses would mirror those prescription rates. ProPublica has a bit of a project documenting those kickbacks and here's an NPR recap. Opioids made drug companies tons of money and it trickled down to the doctors. In addition, these areas have a lot of blue-collar workers, especially mine workers, which leads to a lot of physical injuries. To treat said injuries, they'd get painkillers, get fixed up, then would start hurting again due to the lasting injury damage. Throw in a decent amount of "my life isn't working out" depression and you get a shitload of people requesting pain meds with the doctors willing to prescribe them. It feels like the "opioid epidemic" has been around for a long time, but it has only been identified as a terrible addiction source by the government and the public health sector for a few years. There is also an early frontrunner for headline of the year, courtesy of Alexandra Petri (because she's awesome): https://twitter.com/petridishes/status/969759032570535936
