OPINION: I'm a Seattle native and 'equity' is destroying my once beautiful, thriving city

, blamed on the high cost of living instead of lenient drug policies and rising mental illness – the true culprits – have ravaged neighborhoods, intersections and public parks. Equity is based on the false premise of equal outcomes – not equality of opportunity or equality under the law – whereby resources are seized from one group and given to marginalized or preferred groups. At the grocery store recently, I saw laundry detergent, toothpaste and other necessities behind lock and key.

Health equity is why drug addiction is being normalized with harm reduction strategies, like free needles and free naloxone – medication that reverses the effects of opioid overdose. Instead of freebies, the government could compel life-saving treatment. Things have gotten so dire the medical examiner’s office is struggling with how to store dead bodies, said Seattle-King County Health Director Dr. Faisal Khan, recently.

I love in rural red America and we’re poorer, more violent, live fewer years than any blue city. It’s disgusting how the gop pushes bad policies to make my life worse.

It turned from a heroin pit to a fentanyl pit. Big deal.

The destruction of America begin in the cities and now moving to rural areas.

Unless currently politicians are voted out and replaced with conservatives, the city of lost. Regrettably, that will not happen.

No one can ever make everyone prosperous. The only way for equity is for everyone to be miserable.
