Who would have thought that big business would be screwing us over? What are the chances of the Murdoch press and its political arm, the LNP, addressing the issue. I'm not too sure about the ALP picking up the ball and running with it either.

So, I've got a little bee in my bonnet about social media ads from sketchy organizations--especially tele-behavioral-health organizations under investigation by the US Department of Justice for possible violations of the Controlled Substances Act. While I said "DEA" in my comment, what I meant was "DOJ." #telehealth #drugtrafficking #lackofoversight #profitsbeforepeople
