That was something discussed on the news this morning, that the addicts would be in withdrawal, and looting pharmacies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Non-essential looting:
Around the corner on Canal Street, the main thoroughfare in the central business district, people sloshed headlong through hip-deep water as looters ripped open the steel gates on the front of several clothing and jewelry stores.
One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.
"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."
Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
I've been googling for those alarm clocks, and the Neverlate Borg clocks are the only ones I can find that meet the requirements. Timex makes a 7/5/2 day alarm clock. How terribly odd.

Thrive to spite them
I wonder if non addicts, but those relying on prescription drugs are looting as well.
I know that if I were stuck there and unsure if I could get out I might consider looting a pharmacy to get what I needed.

Then there's this article about Mississippi
It says that police and firemen are taking what they need from stores, but keeping track, because there isn't any other way to feed or supply their people.
It's headlined with "this is our tsumnami" and I know when I saw that hte other day...comparing Katrina to the tsunmai I thought it was hype, but I dont' think so anymore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Denise Bollinger, a tourist from Philadelphia, stood outside and snapped pictures in amazement.
"It's downtown Baghdad," the housewife said. "It's insane. I've wanted to come here for 10 years. I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not."
Fuck you, Denise Bollinger. Fuck you.

Not only is she callous, but SHE'S TAKING PICTURES.

She thought this was a sophisticated city? What in the world is that supposed to mean? Backwater hicks can't even fight a little FREAKING FORCE OF NATURE.
Yes, Denise Bollinger. Allyson speaks for me.
Link please, Allyson. I want to write an outraged letter, because I'm not yet on blood pressure medication.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fuck you, Denise Bollinger. Fuck you.
Yes, exactly! What, she tourists into a disaster area to gawk and take pictures of people who just lost everything and then has the balls to talk about class?
