It was full of grammatical mistakes and run on sentences.
Intentionally or too lazy to edit?
Maybe the opioid deaths are dropping because those inclined to take dope killed themselves off?
The weirdest thing about being in Santa Cruz is there are major distinct groups; 1. illegal aliens 2. homeless (aggressive nuts, addicts, assholes) 3. liberals 4. college students
I can't fit in to any of these groups and I have little in common with them.
But still someone managed to understand what I was trying to convey. So much to the point they challenged me for a source. I didn't have one, I was just noticing that every Liberal I knew wasn't dying in an Alleyway with a needle in their Arm.

Drug Overdose Deaths Fall in U.S. for First Time in Nearly Three Decades
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. overdose deaths finally stopped climbing last year. And they apparently fell a little — the first such decline in nearly three decades.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday posted the preliminary numbers showing nearly 68,000 drug overdose deaths were reported last year. The number may go up as more investigations are completed, but the agency expects the tally will end up below 69,000.
Overdose deaths have been climbing each year since 1990, topping 70,000 in 2017.
Any leveling off or decline in overdose deaths is good news, but the overdose death rate is still about seven times higher than it was a generation ago.
The improvement was driven by a drop in deaths from heroin and prescription painkillers. Overdose deaths often involve more than one drug.
