It's hard to use a "tool" responsibly when the experts and authorities dispensing the "tool" were corrupt and feeding these overly addictive pills to people who didn't need them and hiding how addictive they were. This IS a valid point. Purdue and the Sacklers presented a narrative different from the evidence they had, and justifiably were held to account. When ‘for profit’ models and systems interact with health care, significant oversight is needed.

Yes. When looking at an issue, death is by far the most impactful outcome, both for the individual and those left behind. From the medical side, prescribed opioids have lessened in impact compared to the impact street level fentanyl is having, due to its inconsistency and potency.

As a retired doc, I can testify to this from the other side of the desk. Early on, after entering practice, the messaging was that these new meds were great, you didn’t have to leave people suffering, we have pain receptors in the brain that we can effectively block, and it was simply good practice to utilize these tools. Fast forward 20 years, and these drugs were bad, people reporting pain needed to be looked at as possibly drug seeking, and our regulatory bodies were actively analyzing and overseeing opioid prescriptions. As usual, the truth lies in the middle, and the solution is to use a tool responsibly.

Moderns that are heating up on ebay!
500Club replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
That’s not the case, Todd. Invincible is fantastic, and the first 48 issues of WD stand up to almost anything. And, of course, there’s Irredeemable Ant-Man, a closet favorite of mine. -

I've seen a lot of stores promoting it and one or two store variants. I’d like a mulligan on that comment. The Stool says 101K were ordered. -

This could be underordered. People have lost faith in Kirkman. -

That makes me sad. Absent a market where current releases are bought and discussed, your market implies a shrinking of the comic ecosystem…

Andor is fantastic. It has the character development and plot focus that seems to have been lost with recent SW and MCU product.

What Are Your Little Pleasures of Comic Collecting...
500Club replied to Krydel4's topic in Comics General
The smell of old newsprint. -
Sort of why I asked. It appears to be dropping faster than what is reflected on the TAT page. That’s certainly the real world experience with moderns.

Disappointed with Preorders from Mycomicshop.com
500Club replied to Cephusdog's topic in Comics General
Yup. And leaving businesses ‘middled’ - stuck between a product designed a certain way, and a customer base that differs in its expectation of the product. -

This is a complaint of our LCS as well. His argument that ‘these are collectibles, and this book is not in collectible condition’ often falls on deaf ears. -
Beware…Fake high value CGC books in Pacific Northwest
500Club replied to JTD's topic in Comics General
The ‘that’s so obvious, I’d have never been fooled’ sentiment. I can say, I’ve definitely recalibrated the index of suspicion I’ll be applying to CGC slabs and the books inside them. I’m telling myself, for sure, I’d have caught that funny font, and the 1mm bubbling of the posts, but… -

Agree. A given person may have caught this scam, but have been fooled by another. Compassion is called for. Take home message from this thread: be wary, educate yourself.
