People using the drugs isn’t really the issue that needs solving. It’s people dying and being harmed by them. Narcan is good, not bad. Make it free and easily available and save tax payer’s lives. Total cost: negative.
Yeah because everyone knows most junkies pay taxes… Narcan will never be made free, all that means is someone else, like the actual tax payers, are paying for it. The world would be a better place without Narcan.
If Narcan can save them they may not be homeless yet, but it will happen soon. For the sake of argument let’s say 50% are without jobs. The problem is still half way fixed, or twice as good as it is now.
Regarless, the cost would be very low compared to all the other costs we pay for. It may even save money with fewer unpaid ER visits and things like that, totally ignoring saving taxable incomes.
I know you’re probably just some edgy teenager who things denigrating a group of people who you don’t know anything about is cool or funny, but it’s really fucked up. Have some empathy for your fellow man. We’ve all got shit going on, and it can all be improved on if we help each other.
I’m a 53 year old man and have zero empathy for anyone that allows themselves to degrade that far. I don’t care about their bullshit stories of a hurt back and started with a prescription…The fact of the matter is every idiot on the planet knows there is no good end to heroin use. I completely disagree with you. Ban Narcan, make the world a better place for the ones that are contributing and trying. Stop throwing money away on the ones that statistically will always be a burden to the rest of society. If that doesn’t make sense I’ll assume you haven’t lived long enough to have perspective on the greater good. Good luck.
Aww man, right when he was about to stop doing cringe hyperpartisan comedy-news and start doing real important journalism? That can’t be a coincidence.
That is likely what you would be thinking and perhaps saying at the supermarket after you arrive there to pick up a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, only to find it completely bare where the turkeys normally are kept.
My cat would disagree. No mouse in the house, but he’s managed to kill and present 3 of them to me before being locked up forever inside. Never seen him cockier and prouder than those days.
Ayyyy an actual reputable article that shows the approximate proper amount of total wealth owned by billionaires currently.
U.S. President Joe Biden’s 2024 budget included plans for a 25% minimum tax on the wealthiest 0.01%, but that proposal has since fallen by the wayside with lawmakers in Washington preoccupied with government shutdown threats and looming funding deadlines.
This isn’t about Roe/Dobbs. This is about a federal ban on partial-birth abortions, and because fed law overrides state an Ohio constitutional amendment cannot legalize partial-birth abortions … no matter the lies the GOP tell.
“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
This is completely bullshit about what it really is about. Anyone with an addiction can easily commit suicide. It’s not exactly something they need ‘help’ with to do. Passing a law about just allowing that seems suspect. Suspect in that I don’t think it’s about ‘allowing’ but more ‘encouraging’ or just not injecting someone ODing for the umpteenth time with naxolone and not facing any legal consequences with corrupt/inept lawyers. They should just come out and fuckin say it. It’s a class war. Nothing to do with empathy.
Almost like the post covid recovery has kicked in but thats not a benificial perpsective we need to hand over our entire private lives so they can prevwnt such crime
