    Me: “I’ve tried everything I am physically capable of trying short of anorexia. Ive tried to walk. Ive tried lifting weights. I’ve even starved myself. 200 calories every other day for 3 months. Nothing works. I think I may have a legitimate medical issue”

    Doctor: “Drink water and walk. Thatll be $250.”

    Me:


  • Legalize it. There are no cons.

    Well there is technically one. And it’s the only reason it’s illegal anywhere. And that is that Big Pharma can’t monopolize it for profit.

    Edit - keep downvoting. You know I’m right. Pharma lobbyists bribing corrupt politicians. It’s the exact same reason the IRS can’t just tell us how much we owe or are owed. Base, rank corruption.

    When people say Communism had never been tried it’s because communism is the end goal. It’s the place we want to get to. A stateless, moneyless, classless society where everyone is truly equal. That’s the ideal.

    And Socialism is how we get there. Socialism is a scientific method of governance. It’s not the insanity of “free-markets” nor is it the dictate of an autocrat. You need hospitals. You put the force of govt behind building hospitals and staffing them. You have a giant landmass so you need mass transit. You don’t twiddle your thumbs waiting for the market winds to blow just right. You invest in building it. Because you need it. Because it’s good for your people.

    Because we’re stupid. Like on an institutional, industrialized level of just dumb motherfuckers. Intentionally so as a policy choice by our government.

    It could literally be the cure to all foodborne illness and half this country would be howling like rabid baboons about how it’s unnatural and it morphs the DNA of the irradiated item so that it it gives you super aids and makes you transgender.

    Don’t waste your time worrying about us. We’re breathtakingly fucking stupid and arrogantly proud of it. Just let us die. Little of value will be lost.
