Dustbowl – a snippet of psuedo Americana
A little bit of pseudo-Americana about a hobo with delusions of grandeur hopping from town to town, state to state, narrowly avoiding being grabbed by the railroad bulls. It’s the Great Depression of the 1930s. He panders to his addictions and his dependencies, gambling, drinking, partaking of them unholy angels, until he comes to the end of the line.
You can listen to the piano-led piece on SoundCloud or BandCamp as usual, it’s the 8th addition to my Lifelines mini-album there.
The artwork is somewhat incongrous, it’s a modern, but old-style windpump at Wicken Fen. It’s not dissimilar to the windp...

Jeffrey A. SingerAs I have writtenhere andhere, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to “update and expand” itsGuideline for Prescribing Opioids For Chronic Pain —United States 2016.Unfortunately, most states and several pharmacies and third ‐party payers, including Medicare, have taken the 2016 guideline more seriously than the CDC intended. In fact, 36 states have concretized in statute hard limits on the amount and dosage of opioids premised on those guidelines which—6 years ago —were largely based on “type 3” or “type 4” evidence:Type 3: “observational studies, or rand...

Harm Reduction
One of the very worst public policy mistakes of the 20th Century, one which is still with us, was the criminalization of what we now like to call Substance Use Disorder (SUD). The laws were enforced with literally grotesque inequity, filling the jails and prisons with Black and Latino people for " offenses " that white people committed at the same or even higher rates but were seldom prosecuted for. Imprisoning people is ineffective at treating SUD, but even so it is wrong to imprison people for falling victim to misfortune. It is extremely expensive, and it makes it nearly impossible for people to build a successful...
