Drugs a bigger problem for our area than virus

We are in a pandemic now, but we have been overlooking an epidemic for years: drugs in the workforce.

Our tree-trimmers, landscapers, plumbers, contractors and restaurant employees — so many on hard drugs, and they are never tested.

Most employers will say they can’t find clean people; but they can, if they pay a reasonable wage and enforce the drug testing.

I have noticed several advertisements lately from different companies letting us know they have a drug-free workforce. These are the companies that we should be doing business with.

It is time we realize the real problems in today’s world.
