Absolutely. The Sacklers pushed OxyContin knowing it was addictive, lied to doctors and patients, then walked away with billions while families got destroyed. They literally bought their way out of real consequences while their victims are still dying. Corporate murder with a legal shield.

Yet another instance of state privilege protecting people from facing consequences solely due to immunity granted by the State and its cronyists.

Exactly. The Sacklers got their sweetheart bankruptcy deal that shields them from personal lawsuits while keeping most of their fortune intact. Meanwhile regular people go to prison for decades over drug possession.

It's the ultimate "rules for thee, not for me" - they engineered a mass addiction crisis for profit, then used their wealth and connections to buy immunity from the same system that destroys lives over far lesser crimes.
