I got tinnitus in both ears after first dose of Pfizer (got a very strong reaction in general, was feeling sick and weak for about 3 days after first shot). Been hesitant about getting the second because I don't want it to get worse.

Interesting to read that I'm not the only one with this reaction. It's been 5 months now so I also assume that its permanent.

What are you talking about? Your arguments are all over the place.

How exactly would legalization hurt Mexico? Look at Portugal to see how we should all move towards dealing with drugs and addiction as a health problem instead of a criminal problem.

The violence in the 1930s WAS caused by the prohibition, sure it had lasting effects but ending prohibition was still the right move.

Can you cite the rise of black market marijuana in California? The market is doing well and bringing in good tax revenue in every state I've read about.

As for the opioid crisis, the issue wasn't that people one day decided they wanted to get hooked on them. The issue was they had pain or were recovering from a surgery and were being prescribed highly addictive medication that was being pushed by pharmaceutical companies without proper warning or care. Marijuana could have been given in these cases and it without the same problems of addiction.

theslurmmustflo··on UBI without quality public services is a neoliberal’s paradise
I’m talking about the reality we face right now using the example of healthcare, which tons of Americans don’t have access to. Which I feel is a bigger problem than the problem of choice.

Healthcare also being a public good that almost every other developed country handles at a national level with greater success (life expectancy/ childhood mortality, other major kpis) and far lower costs.

theslurmmustflo··on UBI without quality public services is a neoliberal’s paradise
Choice is a luxury when a huge percent of Americans don’t have access to healthcare or would go bankrupt if they used it. Same thing with affordable housing, education, and countless other services.
theslurmmustflo··on UBI without quality public services is a neoliberal’s paradise
Look at how well competition works in our broken healthcare system. Our costs are the highest in the world yet our life expectancy and infant mortality isn’t all that great.

Or look at education at all levels, where costs have also skyrocketed and public options keep getting cut because bureaucrats from “competing” private industries try to push their agenda (you could argue this is even worse in healthcare and pharma).

Competition and profit motive hasn’t been proven to work so well for public goods, in my opinion, but would love to hear of examples where it worked. This is why for some things we still agree we should pay for at a government level (local or national), such as firefighters, defense, mail, etc, etc.

Not even going to get into how inflationary ubi would be, instantly driving up costs due to “rational” economic behavior.
