I think one could argue that drug crimes jam up courts and police work (there's paperwork for every criminal processed). So removing criminality from all drugs would free up the police to address the "petty" crime.

Are you saying that the status quo of putting a person in jail is the best response society can have? Is it the case, in your opinion, that for most cocaine users, is it better for them to be locked up in jail than to "literally ... ru

Could we make `4DWW` an explicit tag? Four Day Work Week is the most alluring feature for a job (besides 100% remote). It's the only feature that could pull me away from current employment.

I am only interested in 100% remote jobs. But while I'm happy at my current employer - I would jump to a 4DWW (Four Day Work Week) job happily. At the moment I wouldn't consider any offers that are not a 4DWW 100% remote job.

Thank you for sharing! I've been in love with LiteStep but it's not had any development on it in years - seems to have died. Hoping this will be a good-enough replacement for me.
