Around last november, there was a staff meeting, and the leaders of it, ended up giving away the store.

The main topic was, the "opioid crises."  i had heard that term, but didn't know what it meant.  Sure, not too long before the meeting, i knew opioids were pain pills, and so figured, people getting over surgeries and such were getting addicted - which is easy, because, unlike regular pain pills - so i'm told - opioids don't clog up your plumbing.  So, i assumed that opioid addiction was gender neutral - okay, actually, i thought, perhaps, more women were popping those things (we gals are wimps ya know ;).

Nope.  And i was shocked.  Listening to the exec-direcs talk, it's not the middle-aged (overweight) female divorced cafeteria workers getting hooked.  And it's not the young green-haired female wally-world cashiers (getting run ragged and jipped out of their bathroom breaks) who are getting hooked.  Nor is it the female nurse's aids...a grueling job that doesn't pay near enough.  Nope!  

The majority of the population addicted to opioids is .... yep.  The exec-direcs even said.  By the way, where i work, among the higher-ups, the gender ratio is about 4 men to 6 women.  Think the top-top most is more like 70% men - if not more.

Unpop opinion alert: MEN running things is Biblical.  Wanna beef?  Go argue with Jesus Christ...hey, i'm just a clerk - doing data entry and taking the mail cart on the afternoon run (the clerk across the hall, does the morning).
