Just watching a story about Iowa Caucasus. Lady holding a two year old kid just said she would like a President that is more mature than her fussy kid. Smart lady.
One of the biggest hypocrisies out there. Typical liberal move too lolMember when journalists were telling people this on Twitter, and everyone laughed, and then those journalists got laid off, and people told them learn to code, and they got all pissy and Twitter started banning people?
That was awesome.
Portugal is a weird case. I remember getting into it with Huff. IIRC their overall usage of drugs and violence are down, but it matches exactly to their economy. Where historically if the economy is down more people turn to drugs, but when the economy is up it drops. Portugal like a lot of countries is still going well economically for the last bit. Will need to see a downturn to make a fair comparison.There's no empirical evidence that suggests you will see more OD's or more violence if hard drugs are legal. The one case we've seen in Portugal showed decreases in OD, increases in treatment, and lowered violent crime wherein drugs were involved.
I don't think it's observed enough how much drug related violent crime occurs because drugs are illegal.
