Why this still #matters even after the ruling The ruling: 1. #Blocked the #Sacklers’ #legal #escape #hatch 2. Threw the settlement into uncertainty 3. #Forced #renegotiation or renewed #litigation But the damage was already done: 1. Years lost 2. Victims aged, died, or ran out of resources 3. States built budgets assuming the money This is how #power #wins even when it loses. Bluntly, so much #death #sackler #crime #family #USA #death #machine
