Walmart sued by US for fueling Opioid crisis

What do members think?

The DoJ document said the company “knowingly violated well established rules requiring it to scrutinize controlled-substance prescriptions to ensure that they were valid – that is, issued by prescribers in a legitimate manner for legitimate purposes, not for purposes of abuse or other diversion,” the suit continued. While Walmart was legally required to check potential red flags, it “made little effort to ensure that it complied with them”.

If Walmart is guilty, I hope they lose a ton of money and face serious repercussions for years.

Great news.

Are the people in charge at Walmart, democrats?

Walmart is owned by the Walton family, they've historically been Republican aligned.

They're the richest non-royal family in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton_family

Weird.

I thought the Walton family donated to both parties.

I didn't make this a political Left or Right issue, someone else did (a Trumper), I just corrected the record concerning the Walton family.
