Is the fentanyl crisis in the US the fault of unregulated capitalism?

Fentanyl addiction and overdose is a serious problem in in the USA, but it seems it basically isn’t anywhere else. Some people say this is the case because of unregulated privatised hospitals which just prescribes fentanyl to patients and gives syringes with it to them to consume later. In other places it is only prescribed if the pain of a patient is truly unbearable.

Privatised hospitals also have a star rating, and they want the patients to walk out feeling as little pain as possible, so they prescribe fentanyl.

Is this true? What is a potential solution besides regulations and/or nationalization?

How does knuth’s up-arrow notation work?

2⬆️2=2^2=4
2⬆️⬆️2=2^2 two times, so 4
2⬆️⬆️⬆️2=2…^2, 4 times 2, so 65536
2⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️2=build a tower of 2 twos high, result will be the amount of twos of the next exponential tower. Repeat process 65536 times.

2⬆️1=2
2⬆️⬆️1=2
2⬆️⬆️⬆️1=2^2=4
2⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️1=2=build a tower of one 2, which means the next tower is two 2s high, or 4. The next tower is 4 twos high, or 65536. The next and last tower (because we only do it 2⬆️⬆️⬆️2, or 4 times) is an exponential tower of 65536 twos high.

What does this number mean?

Apparently this is TREE (3) if it was written in Knuth arrow notation, where Graham’s number is g64. What does this exactly mean. Is this g(31^187196*3)? Or does it mean something else?

You can change history by looking at the date on an event and saying “USA!” or “Not USA!” causing the day and month to swap.

By looking at or thinking about an event’s date and saying “USA!” or “Not USA!” you swap the day and month. History and the now will change to what would have happened if that event happened at that different date. This superpower counts months registers 12 as being in the next years. For example, you can change history so that Hitler didn’t die on the 30th of April 1945, but on the 4th of June 1947.
