Send the National Guard to Nantucket

This has nothing to do with TOM, but it’s a slow news day and I couldn’t pass up ripping on the rich. Seems Nantucket has a little white powder problem. And it ain’t the local Popo who figured it out…..”The wealthy vacation enclave of Nantucket Island installed new technology amid the COVID-19 pandemic that would detect traces of the virus in sewage. After retooling it to find drugs, the city has discovered many residents and visitors apparently have a cocaine habit. 

Nantucket’s Health Department announced in June that they would begin using the equipment at the island’s Surfside Wastewater Treatment Facility to detect several different types of narcotics. The city said the facility services roughly 70% of residents, giving them the opportunity to identify broad trends without singling out anyone. The results came back showing cocaine detected at levels noticeably higher than the national average and higher still than data from other parts of the Northeast region. The samples came back detecting 1,500 nanograms per liter (ng/L) of sewage water. The national average, per the city-provided graph, is 1,000 ng/L. The Northeastern region of the U.S. averages 900 ng/L.” I guess I can tie this to TOM because how many of his fancy pants, Richie-rich buddies are out there with runny noses? I love that Nantucket got called out. I think we should all demand that the National Guard be sent in to root out this horrible enclave of massive drug abuse. Everyone has to have a pee test before they can get their lobster rolls. Call your Senators everyone.
