Funny enough… The left wing fascists also want you to own nothing
Addiction isn’t freedom… But the only way to beat it is for that person to choose to fight it themselves… Until they make that choice we’re just wasting time, energy, and money trying to force them to
If they want to be forced that should be an option too… But so should the option of continuing to use until it kills you… but even then we should do our best to keep them as healthy and comfortable as possible because in the long run it costs society less that way and it’s easier to get out of when they decide to
As the former slaves’ descendants were increasingly shoehorned into the new industrial prison complex
Yeah… Then they’d need someone helping them with their money I guess. If I had a magic wand I’d make all substances legal but manufacture and sales strictly controlled by the government… When someone gets to the point where the addiction is so bad they’d choose substance over housing or food, offer them free housing and all the drugs they want for free, but the housing is a special community just for that, with like therapists and nurses galore. When they’re ready to stop using move them to the recovery community… Still free housing but also start reintroducing them to alternative activities besides drugs… All of this would require a shit ton of money though… And right now that money is almost all going to the pharma companies for their alternative drugs that never actually get people off drugs
Oh no… Class divide is whether it happened at all or gets swept under the rug… Race divide is how harsh the sentence is, but no one’s making anything disappear
I mean… Money can be traded for shelter and food.
I’d say with those people you just need to give the money to a care giver instead of directly to the person… But it’s still just giving money without making them jump through all kinds of dehumanizing hoops
Idk… Maybe he knew he sucks with money so couldn’t offer his own wisdom on the topic, but wanted to help his kid avoid his mistakes however he could
Pretty sure there’s a school shooting in the US nearly every day now… We only hear about them during election season
Meh… Probably better than at least half of Americans could do
Crest 3D strips work well, but do not fall asleep with them in… I did that by accident, swallowed one of the strips and woke up in such excruciating pain I had to crawl to the bathroom and puke. Just as heads up
Fix the fucking election system… No more gerrymandering, money out, make voting day a holiday, make mail in easy, zero bullshit restrictions making voting harder, ranked choice, no electoral college, get a handle on primaries too
Lol… Fair point… It was for work though
Okay but that’s kinda how democracy is supposed to work… Blue states should also have organizations going into Red states to spread factual information… I’d probably start by letting them know how much money they are being forced to give to these other orgs, and how to stop it
Grew up in New England. My friend moved to Montana, and was absolutely bullshit that there wasn’t a Dunks on every corner… New England runs in Dunks, the rest of the US not so much. He felt like the “America runs in Dunks” ads we’d seen or whole lives were a lie, and so our whole lives were a lie lol
Or Arizona, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Georgia… Basically any red state
Maybe $1100/month each… Maybe
