No just open-air heroin markets and before that open-air Oxy/Vicodin/Percocet markets. Nothing has changed in decades except the brand name of the drug.

B/s that this issue began in 2021 after we decriminalized drugs via ballot measure in 2020. This issue started with people cooking meth out in the sticks here back in the 2000s and has flipped flopped between that and opiods since then in a cat and mouse game between dealers and the law.

Throwing these people in jail over the last 20 years hasn't fixed anything, and the state refused to even implement M110 by funding treatment centers before pointing to it and saying "it's not working!" Now they've repealed it, and nothing has changed.

Or it points to our lack of choice since these two private parties both directly and indirectly choose who we're allowed to vote for.

There's gotta be some truth to this as I was astounded that they approved that $50+ billion payout that he recently received after threatening to quit. In recent years, Tesla has really floundered and is rapidly losing marketshare with each passing day mostly due to Musk's actions. In what world does that deserve a singular payout valued higher than most corporations earn in an entire year?

Well then I suppose this begs the question of why so many would give up ownership of their crypto and sacrifice the benefits they would have had keeping it on-chain in order to let FTX and Gox take it. It seems like there's a piece of the puzzle missing here that I suspect points to a flaw in the system.

I 100% agree with that and think they need to kick him to the curb. What influence and publicity he could generate for the companies 10 years ago is now long gone and has now transformed into a giant liability.

That number seems way too low with how far over to the right the party has become in recent years. There's almost zero progressive representation.

Being excited about technological progress at Tesla or SpaceX doesn't mean you're a fan or supporter of Musk. These companies are full of thousands of engineers doing this work while the absentee CEO is spending his time shitposting and driving Twitter into the ground.

Whenever I see a restaurant or other small business doing this, I always assume it's to hide revenue and avoid taxes.

If your trusted central authority gets compromised, will you know? And if you know, will you be able to do anything about it?

As opposed to Mt Gox and FTX?

And then in 10-15 years when residents start dying off en masse and the lawsuits start, people will say "why didn't you bring these lawsuits after it happened? Why wait until now?"

Your middle seat passenger doesn't seem to mind so much.
