yeah I guess the wording of the story is confusing. I think it’s less “here’s a reward for literally killing people” and more “here’s a little something to soften the blow of an OD so that you continue to fill Oxycotin without judgement or heavy restrictions”


I love your phrasing... “soften the blow.”

I’m trying to imagine this 45 year old CVS VP of Product stuffing the channel with opiates & hiding the analytics on one hand. And on the other hand feeling real bad somebody somewhere ODed.

These emotions - they belong to two very different people. Who don’t like each other at all.


Come on man, the poor bastard needs to make the payments on his wife’s X5. Have a little compassion.


There’s no blow to soften. It’s a bribe.

“Your pharmacists get paid $150k to count pills and assess risk. They failed to assess risk, here’s a bonus for continuing to hire people who don’t do their job.”
