There is no western system. We live in an age of global capitalism with neocolonial/imperialist relations between the West and the rest of the world.
The problem with viewing capitalism only as a western thing is that it obfuscates the imperialist economic relations and it becomes easy to argue that "while the west has problems it is better off than Africa" or whatever. This kind of western chauvinistic thinking ignores the fact that the west profits off the cheap labor of the global working class who slave away in mines and sweatshops to make our commodities. And these relations are enforced by military force and covert operations.

"this is just a weird post because you're assuming this is something that's inherent to capitalism and free market. Let me provide a counter example of this,\nI grew up in India where socialist and welfare society concept is baked into our constitution. Most corporations were government owned prior to 1992, most manufacturing was done in India for our market and almost every public service was subsidized.\nyou know what that led to? incredible amount of corruption in every branch of government and services (as they were part of government). red tapism was rampant and opening a new business was a nightmare. some of our biggest co ops( Amul as an example) needed constant help for it to survive and make profit.\nWe were in such a bad position that we were months away from bankruptcy in 1992 when economic liberalisation happened. \nDo you really think people were thriving under our socialist policies when everything was government and consequently, everything was shit?\nthere's a reason people who lived under socialism tell you why it was absolutely dogshit and somehow, western liberals still can't hear a word. our ethos of hard work are partly because of the shit we have seen under socialist systems and we do everything to escape that.\nOur education was dogshit both k-12 and colleges, we had only 2 government channels and hence had limited source of entertainment. If you're talking of monopolies, there was no bigger monopoly than the government.",
">\n\nI'm from Eastern Europe mate, I know full well not just socialism but actual, real Communism. I get it. And I am not advocating for socialism/communism or any of that rubbish. \nI don't know what system will replace this one but I do know no system lasts forever, it is the way of all things. Even the universe itself will not last forever. \nI acknowledged this system did uplift people and produced \"valuable goods and services\" but there are absolutely flaws with any system, which over time magnify and lead to collapse. Communism's flaw is it creates a power vaccuum (which authoritarians fill) and assumes wrongly about human nature (we are not all selfless). Capitalism's flaw is if unchecked (as it is), it allows private companies to gain too much power and essentially \"buy\" the government. Among other problems, which I described. \nI do not see a way out. This system is failing an increasing number of people, income inequality is widening way out of control. My point is - I don't see any of this or the other issues I listed being fixed, I don't think people can fix them even if they want to, it's insurmountable. The only way to \"fix\" is to let it run its course, collapse, and let something else take it's place. What that \"Something\" is I've no idea (hopefully not communism lmao wouldn't that be funny tho).",
">\n\nmate, the flaws are only visible to folks who are in bottom 10%. all the calls for universal healthcare is from people who, for the most part don't have health insurance. for those who have healthcare (and this group forms the overwhelming majority as healthcare is tied to employment), healthcare isn't expansive at the level where they pay. would it be great to have a healthcare system as great as Germany, absolutely but that would mean taxation at a much higher rate and kicking in much early. I won't divulge into greater details but just as a short example, at 65k in Germany you would pay around 40% of paycheck as tax. In los Angeles, CA with highest taxes in country, you would pay 20%.\nThis vague dream of \"taxing billionaires\" is a foolish nonsense that somehow got traction but reality of every other country that has a public healthcare is that it's the middle class that pay in a much bigger part of their paycheck for social services than most middle class Americans. \nI mean this with total respect but by suggesting that a system isn't working while also saying that you don't know what should replace it doesn't make you a profound thinker, it makes you a clueless person.\nthere's is a way out and it's very simple. If the people want Europe like services (people often point to Nordic models), then people should pay Nordic like taxes and that means taxing the middle class. You can implement a wealth tax but that has always failed and it would still fail. There's one other measure, taxing capital gains at a higher percentage when realised. the last solution can be preventing anyone from taking loans against stocks after a certain value( say no more than 5 million dollars when stocks are the collateral).\nNordic models are strong because their middle class is more prosperous than US and there's a bigger percentage of middle class than US.",
">\n\nI don’t think it’s fair to say that recognizing problems without having a viable solution is foolish.\nOur destruction of the environment is a massive problem. Ok, so let’s cut all emissions, stop deforestation right now, and focus all efforts on reinstating the ecodiversity we’ve destroyed. That is the solution, no? Well now we’ve completely shut down our entire economy and production system and we all starve, freeze, cook, etc. So maybe there is no solution, or at least not an easy one.\nTo assume that to raise a very real issue, as OP has, you need to have a solution is totally fallacious.",
">\n\nit's just as foolish as posting the \"you live in a society meme\" because pointing to problems while not suggesting viable solution makes you an asshole. Pointing out a problem is cheap and can make you look good amongst your peers but that's all it does.\nI mean you can absolutely try that and see where that gets you. People who post those problems and solutions on mediums like social media will ask for everyone's head when we shut down society and as extension, social media in order to save environment.\ntalk is easy and talk is cheap, especially when done by people who don't want to give up their personal comforts but also want someone else to bring great changes so that they can feel responsible and smart while doing absolutely nothing. It's like that parrot situation who wants freedom but also can't give up the comfort of his cage.\nthere's no fallacy involved here. OP raised a valid concern, sure. I pointed to him that he and I both come from places that tried alternative solutions failed miserably while making everyone suffer more( if you think poors in America under capitalism are oppressed, you have no idea of the suffering poors under socialism in India faced). I also laid out viable solution while pointing to how and why the Nordic \"utopias\" function and it turned out, it's because there is a bigger middle class and their middle class is taxed more. I could've easily pointed out to monocultures playing a significant part in communal identity is Nordic nations to dismantle the diversity argument but chose not to.",
">\n\n\npointing to problems while not suggesting viable solution makes you an asshole\n\nIs Greta Thurnberg an asshole? Seriously asking. Protesters? Activists? They're all assholes by your definition but sometimes it takes a critical mass of people complaining and pointing out issues before something is done at a societal level. \nTelling people to shut up if they don't have a working solution isn't acceptable and makes you an ahole, imo. It's gatekeeping and discouraging civil discourse. Which is critical to gain traction needed to get things done.",
">\n\nfor most part, yes she is. People like to praise her as second coming of Christ or reincarnation of lord Rama but she's nothing more than a clueless teenager. Just because someone can shout \"how dare you\" in a UN conference doesn't mean they have some profound solutions or are making significant changes.\nas for protestors, some are clueless and some are fine. like every protest, half the crowd doesn't even know what they're protesting about and how a solution will be achieved. Pointing to a problem doesn't make you a part of solution unless you're relaying good solution alongwith the protest.\nAgain, calling someone an asshole doesn't mean you're shutting up a conversation. you're just conveying to them that they're only making noise. a civil discourse is one that involves actual discussion on plausible solutions and throwing soup and ketchup on paintings aren't discussion about solutions, neither is blocking roads of commuters trying to earn a living and survive in these tough times.",
">\n\nThere are no monopolies. You can’t just use that word like it’s another buzzword because it literally is not true. Having a few massive players is an oligopoly. A monopoly would be if Apple was the only person who sold phones. Period. \nPeople need to stop throwing around this like it’s a political buzzword. The US has 0 monopolies.",
">\n\nI’ve really tried to see it, but at the end of the day all of these talking points just sound like the result of being chronically online to me. If you look for reasons the country is fucked, you’ll find everything you need, but if you go outside, take a walk around the block, talk to others in public, visit your local small businesses, etc., you’ll see people are doing what needs to be done and moving on with their life. Not everyone is doing great, but it really depends on what they’re doing, self-awareness, and how much effort they’re putting in. \nI think people just have too much time to think now, this same argument could have been made dozens and dozens of times in the past, and yet we’re still here. \nThe real estate market was just on fire, you would list a home and have it sold in two days. \nPeople can now work remotely and live anywhere they choose. \nYou can go online and learn a skill in a month or two and bring that to market to make money. \nCollege is overpriced, but if you decided to take on a degree that provided little to no ROI, that’s just kind of on you. College on average provides people with a good life. \nMost companies don’t outsource work only to exploit people, they outsource work because that allows them to hire more people in the US for higher paid positions. \nDon’t get me wrong, I don’t believe we’re in the best spot, but “capitalism” isn’t going to fail all of us like socialism has failed others repetitively, we will correct it and people will be happier in the near future. It’s natural we go through ups and downs, but the world is not about to implode.",

">\n\nWe gave women the right to vote and freed black slaves. We can't make community college free in order to help bring down college debt? We're already doing it in a few states.\nAlso tbh, college debt isn't even really a problem. The overwhelming majority of debt is held by graduate students from wealthy families, not working class poor single mothers struggling to get by.\nThere's a lot in your OP, but most seems objectively false. Microsoft is super far from a monopoly, for example.",
">\n\nYeah this CMV is filled with internet knowledge that isn’t actually true.\nMost people with lots of college debt have a solid place to live, and a fairly new car. The people who are in the government housing and actually need more assistance never went to college. \nAlso people in the left (I sway left BTW) always throw this word “monopoly” around. If ANY other computer companies exist then microsoft cannot be a monopoly. If there’s only a few big ones controlling the game you could call it an oligopoly, but not a monopoly. That words just a political buzz word to a lot of people like this.",
">\n\nMarxist thought has been saying exactly this for like two centuries now and it hasn't happened.\n\"Externality\" doesn't mean \"code word for bad thing\". It literally just means when an economic transaction has effects outside of the buyer and seller.",

">\n\nIm not so certain your gripe is with free market capitalism but rather with goverment overreach into regulating said market",
">\n\nOnly businesses with government contracts or the super rich can do business in this government regulated economy. It is impossible for an individual to walk out onto the street and buy or sell or do any simple business with this level of overreach and overhead. Nothing about it is free market. It's nothing but laws and rules everywhere stacked up past the moon to make sure that the people who believe in massive bureaucracy and draconian rule systems are the only ones who get to participate in the artificial marketplace, and even then they are working for someone elses profit.",
">\n\nWhat you have done here is identified that there are serious flaws with market capitalism. \nThat does not mean that it’s going to fall.

">\n\nI’m sure you have heard of capitalist realism, yes?\nI firmly believe that it’s a thing and a part of capitalism. So as long as people can imagine that the end of the world is more likely than capitalism crumbling to death, then I think it will continue to persist, no matter in what kind of state.\nThe liberal order that has dominated the last 75-80 years has done a pretty good job of implanting that idea into the populace.",
">\n\nHow are people supposed to imagine the end of capitalism, when after 200 years no practical alternatives have been proposed? Like what are people supposed to imagine? A sudden resurrection of Communism? A vindication of central planing? Anarchism, but unironicaly?",

">\n\nthis is just a weird post because you're assuming this is something that's inherent to capitalism and free market. Let me provide a counter example of this,\nI grew up in India where socialist and welfare society concept is baked into our constitution. Most corporations were government owned prior to 1992, most manufacturing was done in India for our market and almost every public service was subsidized.\nyou know what that led to? incredible amount of corruption in every branch of government and services (as they were part of government). red tapism was rampant and opening a new business was a nightmare. some of our biggest co ops( Amul as an example) needed constant help for it to survive and make profit.\nWe were in such a bad position that we were months away from bankruptcy in 1992 when economic liberalisation happened. \nDo you really think people were thriving under our socialist policies when everything was government and consequently, everything was shit?\nthere's a reason people who lived under socialism tell you why it was absolutely dogshit and somehow, western liberals still can't hear a word. our ethos of hard work are partly because of the shit we have seen under socialist systems and we do everything to escape that.\nOur education was dogshit both k-12 and colleges, we had only 2 government channels and hence had limited source of entertainment. If you're talking of monopolies, there was no bigger monopoly than the government.",
">\n\nI'm from Eastern Europe mate, I know full well not just socialism but actual, real Communism. I get it. And I am not advocating for socialism/communism or any of that rubbish. \nI don't know what system will replace this one but I do know no system lasts forever, it is the way of all things. Even the universe itself will not last forever. \nI acknowledged this system did uplift people and produced \"valuable goods and services\" but there are absolutely flaws with any system, which over time magnify and lead to collapse. Communism's flaw is it creates a power vaccuum (which authoritarians fill) and assumes wrongly about human nature (we are not all selfless). Capitalism's flaw is if unchecked (as it is), it allows private companies to gain too much power and essentially \"buy\" the government. Among other problems, which I described. \nI do not see a way out. This system is failing an increasing number of people, income inequality is widening way out of control. My point is - I don't see any of this or the other issues I listed being fixed, I don't think people can fix them even if they want to, it's insurmountable. The only way to \"fix\" is to let it run its course, collapse, and let something else take it's place. What that \"Something\" is I've no idea (hopefully not communism lmao wouldn't that be funny tho).",
">\n\nmate, the flaws are only visible to folks who are in bottom 10%. all the calls for universal healthcare is from people who, for the most part don't have health insurance. for those who have healthcare (and this group forms the overwhelming majority as healthcare is tied to employment), healthcare isn't expansive at the level where they pay. would it be great to have a healthcare system as great as Germany, absolutely but that would mean taxation at a much higher rate and kicking in much early. I won't divulge into greater details but just as a short example, at 65k in Germany you would pay around 40% of paycheck as tax. In los Angeles, CA with highest taxes in country, you would pay 20%.\nThis vague dream of \"taxing billionaires\" is a foolish nonsense that somehow got traction but reality of every other country that has a public healthcare is that it's the middle class that pay in a much bigger part of their paycheck for social services than most middle class Americans. \nI mean this with total respect but by suggesting that a system isn't working while also saying that you don't know what should replace it doesn't make you a profound thinker, it makes you a clueless person.\nthere's is a way out and it's very simple. If the people want Europe like services (people often point to Nordic models), then people should pay Nordic like taxes and that means taxing the middle class. You can implement a wealth tax but that has always failed and it would still fail. There's one other measure, taxing capital gains at a higher percentage when realised. the last solution can be preventing anyone from taking loans against stocks after a certain value( say no more than 5 million dollars when stocks are the collateral).\nNordic models are strong because their middle class is more prosperous than US and there's a bigger percentage of middle class than US.",
">\n\nI don’t think it’s fair to say that recognizing problems without having a viable solution is foolish.\nOur destruction of the environment is a massive problem. Ok, so let’s cut all emissions, stop deforestation right now, and focus all efforts on reinstating the ecodiversity we’ve destroyed. That is the solution, no? Well now we’ve completely shut down our entire economy and production system and we all starve, freeze, cook, etc. So maybe there is no solution, or at least not an easy one.\nTo assume that to raise a very real issue, as OP has, you need to have a solution is totally fallacious.",
">\n\nit's just as foolish as posting the \"you live in a society meme\" because pointing to problems while not suggesting viable solution makes you an asshole. Pointing out a problem is cheap and can make you look good amongst your peers but that's all it does.\nI mean you can absolutely try that and see where that gets you. People who post those problems and solutions on mediums like social media will ask for everyone's head when we shut down society and as extension, social media in order to save environment.\ntalk is easy and talk is cheap, especially when done by people who don't want to give up their personal comforts but also want someone else to bring great changes so that they can feel responsible and smart while doing absolutely nothing. It's like that parrot situation who wants freedom but also can't give up the comfort of his cage.\nthere's no fallacy involved here. OP raised a valid concern, sure. I pointed to him that he and I both come from places that tried alternative solutions failed miserably while making everyone suffer more( if you think poors in America under capitalism are oppressed, you have no idea of the suffering poors under socialism in India faced). I also laid out viable solution while pointing to how and why the Nordic \"utopias\" function and it turned out, it's because there is a bigger middle class and their middle class is taxed more. I could've easily pointed out to monocultures playing a significant part in communal identity is Nordic nations to dismantle the diversity argument but chose not to.",
">\n\n\npointing to problems while not suggesting viable solution makes you an asshole\n\nIs Greta Thurnberg an asshole? Seriously asking. Protesters? Activists? They're all assholes by your definition but sometimes it takes a critical mass of people complaining and pointing out issues before something is done at a societal level. \nTelling people to shut up if they don't have a working solution isn't acceptable and makes you an ahole, imo. It's gatekeeping and discouraging civil discourse. Which is critical to gain traction needed to get things done.",
">\n\nfor most part, yes she is. People like to praise her as second coming of Christ or reincarnation of lord Rama but she's nothing more than a clueless teenager. Just because someone can shout \"how dare you\" in a UN conference doesn't mean they have some profound solutions or are making significant changes.\nas for protestors, some are clueless and some are fine. like every protest, half the crowd doesn't even know what they're protesting about and how a solution will be achieved. Pointing to a problem doesn't make you a part of solution unless you're relaying good solution alongwith the protest.\nAgain, calling someone an asshole doesn't mean you're shutting up a conversation. you're just conveying to them that they're only making noise. a civil discourse is one that involves actual discussion on plausible solutions and throwing soup and ketchup on paintings aren't discussion about solutions, neither is blocking roads of commuters trying to earn a living and survive in these tough times.",
">\n\nThere are no monopolies. You can’t just use that word like it’s another buzzword because it literally is not true. Having a few massive players is an oligopoly. A monopoly would be if Apple was the only person who sold phones. Period. \nPeople need to stop throwing around this like it’s a political buzzword. The US has 0 monopolies.",
">\n\nI’ve really tried to see it, but at the end of the day all of these talking points just sound like the result of being chronically online to me. If you look for reasons the country is fucked, you’ll find everything you need, but if you go outside, take a walk around the block, talk to others in public, visit your local small businesses, etc., you’ll see people are doing what needs to be done and moving on with their life. Not everyone is doing great, but it really depends on what they’re doing, self-awareness, and how much effort they’re putting in. \nI think people just have too much time to think now, this same argument could have been made dozens and dozens of times in the past, and yet we’re still here. \nThe real estate market was just on fire, you would list a home and have it sold in two days. \nPeople can now work remotely and live anywhere they choose. \nYou can go online and learn a skill in a month or two and bring that to market to make money. \nCollege is overpriced, but if you decided to take on a degree that provided little to no ROI, that’s just kind of on you. College on average provides people with a good life. \nMost companies don’t outsource work only to exploit people, they outsource work because that allows them to hire more people in the US for higher paid positions. \nDon’t get me wrong, I don’t believe we’re in the best spot, but “capitalism” isn’t going to fail all of us like socialism has failed others repetitively, we will correct it and people will be happier in the near future. It’s natural we go through ups and downs, but the world is not about to implode.",
">\n\nLargely agree. Looking at it from a historical perspective, well fed populations don’t tend to start revolutions.",
">\n\nWe gave women the right to vote and freed black slaves. We can't make community college free in order to help bring down college debt? We're already doing it in a few states.\nAlso tbh, college debt isn't even really a problem. The overwhelming majority of debt is held by graduate students from wealthy families, not working class poor single mothers struggling to get by.\nThere's a lot in your OP, but most seems objectively false. Microsoft is super far from a monopoly, for example.",
">\n\nYeah this CMV is filled with internet knowledge that isn’t actually true.\nMost people with lots of college debt have a solid place to live, and a fairly new car. The people who are in the government housing and actually need more assistance never went to college. \nAlso people in the left (I sway left BTW) always throw this word “monopoly” around.

"Getting a takedown doesn't stop someone from grabbing your balls and squeezing or slamming your head on concrete"

And further the whole mythology the martial arts and fighting sport communities have built around "street fights" is just silly and 99% of it is stupid asshole macho chest puffing.
Here's the truth. And it's the truth that any self defense instructor who actually cares about you will tell you.
In a fight the bigger person is usually going to win. If the bigger person gets in a good solid first strike, he's almost always going to win. If the bigger person manages to get in a good solid first strike when you are not ready for it, taking you by surprise, where he is already mentally "on" and ready for a fight and you are not, he's always winning within a statistical margin of error. All the elite black belt ninja navy seal tricks don't matter because you've already lost the fight before you're in a headspace to deploy them.
Self defense is not about fighting. A good self defense strategy is a handful of solid techniques and strategies to survive the opening moments of being taken by surprise so you can counter just enough to get fuck out of there.

I remember a project a few Gracie black belts did where they analyzed over 100 hours of street fight footage. Whoever got the first takedown won over 90% of the time, and over 90% of the KOs from stand up came from the first punch.
So it’s a bit of a toss up, if the grappler initiates grappling first, they win, if a striker strikes first, they win.
The issue with ball grabbing and eye gouging a grappler on the ground is that they’ll do the same to you while being significantly better on the ground. Also a good grappler immediately transitions from a takedown to a sub or dominate position against a non grappler.
The biggest problem with grappling as self defense is if your attacker has friends, theyre gonna stomp you to death

Here's the thing.
In MMA there's absolutely nothing stopping you from being a boxer. You can step into an MMA ring and just box, literally nothing is stopping you. You won't be breaking any rules.

I mean this isn't an unpopular opinion in the way framed your opinion. In the street fight as you presented they arent conforming to either MMA or Boxing rules where the goal is to just knockout or cause your opponent to concede. If you want your opponent dead neither is ideal. It would come down to individual physique and pain tolerance.

I think judo and BJJ would be the difference. If the boxer cannot get in range (kicks) he will not be effective. If they do manage to get close enough, you could throw them using the judo.

The thing is the MMA fighter practices enough boxing to be aware of what the boxer is going to do, whereas the boxer probably doesn't practice any take downs or ground fighting unless they do it as a hobby. Those take downs are going to hurt a lot more in the street too, and as others have mentioned, they're in a better position to fight dirty than the other guy.

Countries have prepared for the latest ban by ramping up imports of Moscow’s diesel in recent months. Europe’s imports were up nearly 19% in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with the same period the previous year, according to energy data provider Vortexa.
“Those stocks should act as a buffer against the immediate loss of Russian diesel imports,” Williams said.

Pro tip, if you switch the stud finder to look for metal studs it'll go off on your crotch (if you're wearing jeans since it finds the zipper.) Then switch it back to wood and hand it to a friend and watch them find nothing. Laugh and say "Guess you're not a stud".
Don't ask why I know this works...

It is from desperation absolutely. That and feeling helpless or trapped. Americans are stressed the fuck out and it’s because of corporate dominance over workers and the populace. Ads everywhere, debt everywhere, fees everywhere, exorbitant expenses for healthcare and education. And in more civilized countries all that money goes into keeping the country nice and the citizenry happy, where ours just goes to the c-suite and we see nothing in return. Our problems are serious and many and they’re systemic.

My grandfather owned a wood mill. Big lumber drove him out of business in the late 60's.
My whole life he worked at 1 place. The hardware store.
Grandma was a SAHM. They bought a house and raised a family on his income and benefits from working 40 hours a week at the hardware store.
That version of the USA is dead. The greedy asshats stole it away from the American people.

Invest in a cheap(ish) charcoal smoker, learn a recipe for making your own bbq sauce AND/OR dry rub, buy a 12 pack, and tell the wife you’ll see her at dinner time
She will either love it, or leave you. But you’ll have all the ribs so really, she’s the one losing out

Smoking doesnt really take so long, tbh. 4-ish hours. Get a wifi thermometer with two probes, with a lower and upper limit alarms. Use one to monitor the chamber, use the other in the meat. You've got a few hours to 'watch' the cooker, usually from the 'workshop.'

Yeah, that’d be a pretty stupid ban. You hear stories frequently of someone getting drunk and shooting themselves, people or their spouse. But you never hear of someone eating mad edibles and going on a rampage.

Not that I agree with it, but this is a common argument I hear about red flag laws around mental health. That people will avoid getting help because they might lose their guns with a diagnosis.
When in reality, it's just plain hard to get mental health help. We should still take guns away from people with certain diagnoses. Maybe temporarily, maybe not.

In some states, children with a diagnosis of ADHD or autism are legally required to be given special education. Since special ed. programs are often dens of academic neglect, some child psychologists and parents conspire to omit an official diagnosis to keep their child enrolled mainstream.

I can confirm this first hand. Many schools, just having an IEP or diagnosis means getting dumped in with the mentally handicapped kids, which tends to be pretty miserable. Any kind of self-paced learning would be vastly preferred over that.

Doubtful. Not only was his murdered business partner the one holding the Federal licenses to obtain such weapons but Youtube is straight up anti-gun now. They will remove your video for showing such top secret things as inserting a loaded magazine into a firearm or attaching a suppressor plus a whole host of other things that basic firearms reviewers and showmen like FPSrussia did without a second thought only just last year.

And yes people who just use it recreationally still should be allowed to own firearms. If people can consume alcohol as much as they want and have firearms then the biggest 24/7 stoner should be able to have them too.

I think the TryGuys did a video on YouTube a while back where they were on a closed track and consumed a fair amount of various intoxicants. If I remember correctly, they arrived at the same conclusion. I've also unfortunately been a passenger while the driver was intoxicated (rideshare drivers, reported the shit out of them) and my experience also agrees.

Yeah the issue is basically that you aren't on a set course, you are in a live environment. That being said the unfortunate issue is that there's no good test for how high you are so it's gonna remain heavily restrictive.
We've all seen somebody totally missing something right in front of them before.

To be more specific, we don’t have a good marker for the amount of the drug that’s actively available in someone’s system. In addition to retention in fat deposits that can be released into the body after cessation, cannabinoids are endogenous to the human body.
There are some common sense steps to take, however, to better hold drivers accountable: saliva and blood testing. Both equalize the detectable window of the test to cannabinoids relative to water-soluble substances including cocaine and opiates

Marijuana safer than alcohol mentally and physically, and safer than tobacco, and less addictive. The drug war has been a failure because it was never meant to stop drugs.

Yeah I listened to a police lieutenant try to argue to my why no one with a medical marijuana card should be allowed to own a gun but any other medication is just fine. His argument was about as dumb as you can imagine. Basically boiled down to because I say so!
ETA it was probably the only gun control measure he agreed with because to him it hurt the “right” people

The NRA was pretty much only a pro gun organization after the revolt in the 70s and before the 2000s. It was Fudd central before and now is corrupt to the core.
