According to the census bureau there are 88.89 million Americans age 25-45
According to the CDC, 54,750 Americans of all ages die from fentanyl OD each year

So, even if every death was age 25-45, which it isn't, that is 0.06% of that demographic----hardly what I would call "decimated"
1st ever decrease in a demographic group in America. It is historic. There will be fewer white-collar retirees available to relocate to retirement areas like the Villages in the FUTURE.
