110,000 died last year alone. How many is it too many? When does something get done to fix it? And who does that fixing?

That chart is not a running total FYI. It's number of deaths by year.


Are fentanyl overdose deaths rising in the US? (usafacts.org)
I mean, I'm not talking about what too many is. I was talking about the incorrect stats listed. And we can discuss the scale of the tragedy without incorrectly listing the scale of the issue. 

The original posts said every year, more deaths than WWII. That's blatantly not correct. If you'd like, we can go with more than 20 9/11s. Also too many.

It's probably more deaths per year that died in WW 2 per year, or very close to it.

American deaths per year in WWII

if you use 1941 as one of the years to work the average

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly...

Vladimir Putin is preparing to attack the UK (msn.com)
Vladimir Putin is reportedly wearing diapers and suffering from “nervous breakdowns” while receiving treatment for an alleged cancer diagnosis, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a surprising development to come after months of rumors and reports that the 70-year-old Russian leader is slowly dying, Kremlin sources claimed Putin suffered a breakdown this week after switching to a “stronger cancer medicine.”

According to the sources, Putin’s alleged breakdown took place on Tuesday night inside the Russian despot’s Moscow home.

"At about 21.40, Moscow time, the presidential guards heard strange sounds from the room where the president was,” Kremlin insiders reportedly told the Telegram channel General SVR. "Putin did not answer a knock on the door, attempts to determine what was happening in other ways did not bring results."


"Putin sat on the floor near the sofa and wept hysterically," the report continued. "He was wearing only a wet white T-shirt, which he had probably tried to take off, and a black sock on his right leg.”

"Next to him was a torn diaper, which Putin has been using all the time lately,” the insiders spilled further. "To all appeals to him, the president practically did not react, continuing to sob."

I would believe some Russian ships may have been gathering intel, fine, but to extend that to "they are going to attack Britain" is silly, at this point.

They MIGHT at some point try and sabotage some things covertly, like the pipeline (whoever did that).  Another nuclear plant disaster in the west would really kibash a lot of things.
