In today's New York Times, artist Nan Goldin announces that she is taking Purdue Pharma to court over its irresponsibility in the dispersal of OxyContin which has led to a deepening opiod crisis. She spent agonizing years recovering from her own addiction to this drug.
In the article a spokesperson for the family that owns the company, the Sacklers, stated the following: "We are deeply troubled by the prescription and illicit opiod abuse crisis, and we would welcome an opportunity to sit down with Ms. Goldin to discuss her ideas."
Hilarious! Companies like Purdue Pharma have made profits from the grief and illnesses of people for decades. Their methods are morally degenerate and need to be exposed.
They do not care about the Ms. Goldin's of the world, nor about the thousands of people who have fallen victim to their drugs. They delight only in their profits.
May this court case raise the heat under Purdue Pharma and all other companies whose profits are made at the expense of another's grief, illness, dependency and infirmity.
