I truly believe that if, if we want, if you know, as a society, if we want to kind of eliminate this corporate safety cause, I mean there's, there's different.
Picture this: two friends sitting down to hash out one of the most contentious issues in recent memory—the Purdue Pharma settlement. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Amanda and Ashley dive into the thorny subject of who should bear the brunt of responsibility for the opioid crisis. While the views expressed aren't necessarily those of Montana's Peer Network, the conversation is a masterclass in respectful disagreement and healthy debate.
Amanda argues passionately that when a company engages in unethical behavior, its owners should be held personally accountable. She believes the Sackler family's financial liability is a step in the right direction. On the flip side, Ashley contends that company owners may not always be aware of every action taken by their employees, suggesting a more nuanced view of accountability. The discussion doesn't stop there.
The hosts also explore the broader implications of corporate responsibility and the importance of standing up for what's right. They acknowledge that the opioid crisis is far from over and emphasize the need for ongoing advocacy and dialogue. One particularly intriguing point is the Sackler family's philanthropy. Even organizations that benefited from their donations are now distancing themselves, raising questions about the true intentions behind their charitable acts.
This episode isn't just informative; it's a thought-provoking examination of a complex issue. Amanda and Ashley's differing perspectives offer a balanced look at corporate ethics and personal responsibility. If you're curious about the Purdue Pharma settlement and want to hear a respectful yet passionate debate, this episode is a must-listen.
