3 quotes from Empire of Pain

  • "The arc of history sometimes bends against the rich and powerful, but that bending can take a long time. It can leave a trail of destruction in its wake."
  • "The story of the Sacklers is not just a story about wealth and privilege, but also about the moral responsibility that comes with power."
  • "The opioid crisis is not just a public health disaster; it's a testament to the failures of a system that prioritizes profit over people."
