Intentionally or too lazy to edit?
It was full of grammatical mistakes and run on sentences.

For added emphasis. It's like watching dogs fuck, Liberals can't turn away from bad syntax.
They are too easily triggered when reading eloquently stated facts. They read just a portion of it, and then go off on their own tangent.
Notice Trump's form. Think CNN would report what Trump says, if he actually had a linguistic expert writing his material?
"Bigly" is quotable, "Hope and Change" is not. It's the truths and facts Trump says before "Bigly". Compared to the out right lies of everything Obama said before "Hope and Change". Obama's only thing he had going for him, was he was well spoken. Joe Biden even said so, Joe said he was eloquent for a black guy. But in the end, when Obama tried to match Trump's Tiger Energy Truth Bombs, and go it alone without writers and teleprompters. He was a stuttering mess.
Grammar Nazis draw more attention to a subject, than they do grammatical mistakes.

This is a failure of capitalism. They aren't manufacturing enough addicts. We need to open kiosks in the grammar schools so that shareholder value is maintained.

Maybe the opioid deaths are dropping because those inclined to take dope killed themselves off?
In S. Florida it was evidently common; the funeral home guy who handled my father's case told me that most of his "customers" were young people who had overdosed, not older guys as I had expected.
I love that cartoon; I know a female in Santa Cruz who was a wild child, ran away at 16, came to Santa Cruz by 18 or so, dated Mexican drug dealers, became an addict and SOMEHOW got onto Social Security Disability.
Now American taxpayers are paying for her lifetime annuity of $800/month; she has not worked a job in her entire life.
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. I almost think I can fit in better with those guys from Jersey and NYC with gold chains and Yankees shirts running around in Florida.

Perhaps because unemployment has dropped due to ORANGEMANBAD not messing with economy too much. In SE TX the amount of babbling homeless addicts seems to rise if we have recession. Last time I saw a substantial increase was around 2009-10, after that their numbers dropped to a steady state, so that now I see only mentally ill, long-term homeless. In 2009 it was obvious that a number of homeless people became homeless recently (different behavior from professional homeless). If people are down on their luck they are more likely to start abusing drugs.

Santa Cruz is a pretty old community by Cali standards. It has been a resort since the 1800's. Lots of different groups.
There are some old families around, including agricultural and fishing families (Italian, Mexican, Portuguese) who have been wealthy for generations but stay behind the scenes mostly with their private cliques. There are even a few Spanish land grant scions running around San Jose and Santa Cruz. There were some Irish settlers who started wineries around Schwan Lagoon, where there are still old vines in the wild areas.
Vacation homes and post WWII veteran sugar shacks have been handed down virtually tax free from the days when they were dirt cheap. It's why you see groomed homes next to Appalachian weed wrecks. The families just keep them because they are free but don't spend much time in them. Lots of inheritors in Santa Cruz, which you realize when you talk with people. We know a few who inherited, lived in the homes for the Santa Cruz 'ambiance' for a while, then cashed out and moved elsewhere. There are also retirees from the North East in the trailer parks, and LOTS of lesbians, which nobody ever seem to talk about. Of course, you have the nouveau riche technocrats, who want to crowd in and build their vacation palaces replacing sugar shacks with multi story fantasy dwellings. The old surfer dudes around Pleasure Point who are now croaking even had a sugar shack preservation movement to keep the homes in the 800 to 1200 sq. ft range to maintain the old vibe. Good luck with that against Silicon Valley big bucks.
Everybody wants Santa Cruz to be a drug and party fantasy land without consequences. The trust fund twats are the usual dazed and confused LibbyFuck star gazers. The students just hang out with each other trying to be simultaneously slummed and fabulous with their cell phone appendages, but at least maintain a steady supply of butt string bikinis for the beaches.
The LibbyFuck stuff degenerates into malignancy as usual, especially with the sanctuary status, cartels, drugs, and craziness, and SC is trending more that direction, like, it's pitiful, dangerous, really, really crowded and not that much fun any more.

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.
