Working in transitional housing brings a unique perspective that’s often unshared with the vast majority of everyday people.

In the case of addiction, it certainly applies to a whole swath of life that most never notice.

additional fun fact: Philip Morris (yes that one) controlled the majority of these companies and brands during the 80s & 90s.

I was thinking Robocop had the relevance factor these days, though I do enjoy the aesthetics of Dredd.
