I don't know how that many 'day traders' could go unnoticed. Have you seen the amount of drugs confiscated in large amounts? Then, there's the question of "How can people be addicted and keep their jobs, families, homes, car, pay bills, buy food, etc?". Many, as I wrote, never intended to become addicts, it just happens. I live in a nice suburb, but know of several OD deaths, one was three houses away and I know the kid's dad from high school. Another lived around the corner and I went to high school with his step father and had known his biological father since I was a kid. Another was about two blocks away and I had met her parents & grandfather in about 2003- they lived in this subdivision until the mom inherited a bunch of money and they bought a house for the kids to use. Many police/EMS calls to that house and eventually, they stopped when the daughter overdosed.
Nose candy is at the back of the bus- now, it's Meth & Opiates that are in highest demand.
Have you seen videos of an area in Philadelphia called the Kensington?
Ah, yes- streets paved with Gold and Land of Opportunity.
