Do you think if we stop the war on drugs, that will reduce the number of homeless drug addicted people? I don't think it will. There's need to be more to it than that, otherwise you're literally not preparing for the 2nd half of that foot drop.

I largely agree alot of these problems are a result of criminalizing drug use but decriminizing doesn't solve some of these problems with homeless folks which is probably more related to mental health services.

It's a relevant point. We don't allow cigarette companies to advertise to children so should it be acceptable to advertise crack or coke?

I agree broadly with much of your assessment of history and many of the problems that bely current western society. The rich might be exploiting capitalism to their benefit but a capitalist system with proper regulation will always be better (in terms of Quality of life and freedom) for larger groups of people Than a planned economy.

Lol. The people selling it to their local communities are just as bad as the people at the top. The people at the top are many times from the local communities you guys are defending.

How far of a distance was it? I'm trying to plan a trip right now and if I drive by myself the plane is easily cheaper. If I go with a group of people then driving is obviously cheaper.

I think this has more to do with it than the FBI personally.

the cost

The reason people use planes typically is its cheaper or roughly the same price when compared to driving - especially if you do t have the efficiency of being able to travel with multiple people.

the chance of getting sick because of the recycled air

Do you have anything to back this up? My understanding, during covid, air plane travel was relatively safe in comparison to other enclosed spaces due to the air filtering equipment.

We're still a far way away from the level of automation necessary to make working only 2 days a week feasible imo

Why would a business pay for these things that make their workers more efficient and then relinquish all of the profit that came from making things more efficient?
