The 777 has been flying for 25 years with almost no fatal accidents. Unless your flight will be flying over Russian anti-aircraft missile batteries or through a wormhole above Malaysia, you should be perfectly safe.

Illegal drugs increase addiction rates because drugs are often cut with different drugs. How many heroin addicts were created by lacing lesser drugs with more addictive ones?

People rob and murder people for all sorts of reasons. But drug addicts have to commit fewer crimes if their drugs are cheap and easy to get. And legal drugs have known potencies, and aren’t mixed with other more addictive drugs. Don’t comp

Decriminalization isn’t legalization. Not only is it still a federal crime to buy and use, but it’s also illegal to sell. And illegal heroin is still cut with a variety of substances leading to more overdoses and deaths.

Heroin is still illegal in Vancouver. Only a handful of addicts get free heroin. And because it’s illegal most addicts have to pay high prices for heroin of unknown potency, and frequent laced with Fentanyl. That directly leads to overdose

That’s silly, we get as much benefit from free trade as every other country. Let China or India do assembly at wages that would be below minimum wage here, and take those savings to get a bigger piece of the market, sell more iPhones, do m
