https://www.apnews.com/3bf581a53684440b92121bb1b8ae43a9 In his prime-time speech to the nation, President Donald Trump wrongly accused Democrats of refusing to pay for border security and ignored the reality of how illicit drugs come into the country as he pitched his wall as a solution to trafficking. Check the article for a breakdown of the claims made by Trump and how well they hold up against reality.
The drug was has been endless and worthless stop already
We need in-patient treatment clinics and decent healthcare. More importantly, we need jobs and social mobility. Without a future to look forward to, people fall into despair and reach for anything that will numb their pain. Or worse, they commit suicide. Fuck Trump’s wall. And on a similar note fuck Paul LePage, who closed down most of my state’s opioid treatment clinics and refused to issue narcan to first responders.
I mean, obviously not. Ironically enough, the solution would be blanket legalization across the board.
But you see, that means we can no longer lock up minorities and drug addicts to be used for prison slave labor.
Which gets me to my second point - we can't have legalized vice because someone down the lines made the bone-headed decision to privatize prisons. Shucks.
