    You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you’re rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they’re billionaires.

      Cannabis is the stupidest example imo, it’s criminalisation causes more harm than good, it’s the kingpins and people profiting off of prisoners, pushing and advocating for continued criminalisation.

      Private prisons are one of the worse outcomes of austerity, it encourages laws like this just to send as many poor people to prison as possible just so they can line their pockets, the most braindead one being the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK, which is a perfect case study as to why austerity which is musks entire strategy for economic prosperity, is a grift which is only ever capable of working for your government if there’s a scapegoat which you can blame your economic strategy failing on.

      The only real issue I have with smoking weed is the lung cancer bit, but cigs apparently are perfectly fine 🤷‍♂️

        Well, not entirely. We can get into a lot more good reasons why drug laws and prostitution laws are ass, but, I mean, yeah. Being rich doesn’t make you above the law. If we’re unwilling to enforce it on the wealthy, we shouldn’t enforce it on the poor.

        And yet, when is Elon’s court date?

        If a law isn’t enforced, then it functionally doesn’t exist. If the law only exists for some of the population, then it’s a tool of oppression.

      YES! However, EVERYTHING is legal in the US, if you’re rich enough or have some sort of connection to the rich - see Jan 6 folks.

    When people do stupid things you might ask them “are you on drugs?” Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.
