    Of course it’s serious and no one has disputed that. Steps have been taken to reduce their impact already. Deaths are dropping, already down 21% since summer 2023, and will continue to fall. Starting an unnecessary trade war with the US’s closest anlly over a relatively small impact is mind-numbingly stupid. But again, par for the course.

    What trade war? Your side has been building up this imaginary trade war. Where is it?

    It’s fun to pretend that China is afraid of us.

    Sorry, anything that kills 700 people a year does not rise to the level of a "very serious matter" worthy of destabilizing centuries of alliances.

    Now comes the part where you accuse me of not caring about fentanyl overdoses. You know it's not true so you project and claim I'm trying to fit a narrative. Meanwhile:

    Lol wut?
