Hadn't seen that video before but it doesn't seem too unusual in some parts of the USA.
Jawa, spot on with Fentanyl addicts looking like Zombie movie extras. It's very eery.
And the homelessness / streets filled with tents issue even without the increase in fentanyl usage seems to have become an enormous problem in recent years too.
I can't think of anywhere in the UK as depressing as that video with such an obvious homelessness problem and indifference to blatant usage of hard drugs being openly used.
I don't think fentanyl has become a thing anywhere in Europe thankfully.
Blackpool is the most depressing part of the UK I've been to and it's nothing like as shocking as that video.
The average American now has the same healthy life expectancy (years lived in good health) as someone in Blackpool, the town with England’s lowest life expectancy (by far), synonymous with deep-rooted social decline. One in 25 American five-year-olds today will not make it to their 40th birthday.I posted this a few months ago:
