The title of this piece is a little misleading. I assumed it would be an analysis of how to get out of the growing wealth and wage inequality that we've been experiencing for the last few decades. Instead it's about kids doing drugs in small towns, with the revolutionary vision of a gun nut thrown in for good measure. Not a bad article, but not really a topical title. It's really a shame how strongly heroin has come back in the last decade. I've read that it's a result of crazy poppy production in Afghanistan (an unintended negative of the Afghan war). I'm not sure if that's true, but what I can say is that I hung out with all the druggies and degenerates in high school, and I wouldn't have been able to get heroin at any price at that time. It just wasn't a thing in my area. Now, I know (knew?) two young people from my home town who died of overdoses. It's unbelievable really. Hopefully we won't see a resurgence of HIV because of this, but I guess that should be expected, too.
