I'm not going to explain all of macroeconomics to you, but the whole point of this discussion is decreasing prices is bad because money stops moving. If money stops moving, you stop getting paid. Is that simple enough for you to understand or does it need to be dumbed down further?

No, like paying your wages. You should read a bit about how things work before getting upset.

So we're just dropping the whole well-regulated militia part of that civil right? They didn't really mean that part right?

It's you that's smoking. The establishment hates insurrections, horrible optics. Alphabet agencies are absolutely keeping tabs on a few select gentlemen.

lol because Biden is brining the jobs back. Can you tell me one politician you support that is ACTUALLY trying to fix the rust belt? No one is helping them. They have been discarded by society, so they are lashing out.

if Lemmy had a tagging system, you'd be "doesn't know the definition of argument."

do you think they even care anymore? They lost everything, they just want to see the world burn. Again, I'm truly shocked by how you all lack empathy and fail to see the obvious.

but then how will I defend my famuhly from the 39,997 other criminals?

people have been screaming the answer at you, yet you ignore it. The American middle class was gutted by outsourcing labor and they're not happy about it. It couldn't get more simple.

why not come out and make your point instead of JAQing off?

Can't use that to explain Cs in math and physics.

Ok. But this part is pretty reasonable:

Think about how wasteful all of this is. We throw people in jail for using Adderall without a prescription. We expel them from colleges. We fight an expensive and bloody War on Drugs to prevent non-prescription-holders from getting Adderall. We create a system in which poor people need to stretch their limited resources to make it to a psychiatrist so they can be prescribed Adderall, in which people without health insurance can never get it at all, in which DEA agents occasionally bust down the doors of medical practices giving out Adderall illegally.

It's absolute bullshit that I can't buy amphetamine at my corner store if I want to. Yes, it's probably bad in the long-run. But I fucking want it.

Edit to add more substance: I also believe without evidence that "ADHD" is a lingering result of the transition of humanity to a sedentary lifestyle, but some are better equipped to deal with it than others. The whole binary of "You have ADHD" and "You don't" is utter nonsense made up by the prohibition state to justify medicating people with amphetamine.
