John Oliver takes another look at the ongoing opioid crisis and how the Sackler family of Purdue Pharma are trying to avoid liability.
If there’s one thing you can always count on John Oliver for, it’s picking you up when you’re feeling down. Sure, anti-vaxxers and the rise of variants are going to prolong this pandemic for the foreseeable future, and yeah, the UN basically just confirmed that we’ve fucked our climate for good, but hey, remember the opioid crisis? Well, it’s as bad as it’s ever been, Oliver is here to remind us, and the people responsible will pretty much never face any substantial consequences for it.
Still, Oliver does all this in a way that will make you laugh through your clenched jaw and gritted teeth. Angry laughing is still laughing, and there’s still not enough of that going around today. So if this seems like something you can watch without getting too sad or furious, check out the full video below.
