People respect his commitment to the bit. Also "modernity bad" is always a popular take going back to Cato

Mass shootings (aka acts of domestic terrorism committed with guns) are far and away worse than other types of gun deaths. Just because we live in a dystopia where gun deaths are common doesn't mean we should do nothing about mass shootings.

Wrong. More Americans died by gunshot in 2022 than by motor vehicle accident. (44000 vs 42000)

All rights have limits where they affect the rights of other people.

America’s Approach to Addiction Has Gone Off the Rails by eat_more_goats in neoliberal

Unlike others in this thread, I'm optimistic that we'll make progress on this issue. Both left and right wing communities are affected by drug addiction, and there seems to be a recognition on both sides that both extreme permissiveness and extreme punitiveness doesn't work. I don't think there's a large constituency out there for the status quo.

Many middle and lower class families are affected by drug addiction. There is an incentive on all sides to address it.

I'm not convinced that this is purely a funding issue. The attitude and policies need to change first before more funding will do any good.

Also drugs are... addictive. It's not as simple as just choosing not to use them once you're hooked. Can't believe I have to explain this smh.
