Being a Sunday sports spud, watching the relentless flood of pro-gambling ads, wondering if we’re heading for an echo of the Oxycontin disaster; a tsunami of lives wrecked by addiction.

A different flavor of catastrophe; what’s the same is that the perpetrators get to walk away with billions.

Destroying whole generations is good business.
