The bars on that suggest that alcohol has a higher harm to others, but crack cocaine has higher harm to users. Regular cocaine is a smidge worse overall than tabacco.
I dunno that this really sells it beyond being able to say “it’s not as bad as alcohol and heroin”.
That said, addiction should clearly be treated as a mental health issue, not a criminal issue. That goes for alcohol, cocaine, heroin, or tobacco.
Credit card companies are. USPS doesn’t have data entry people who would open the package.
People don’t take those jobs as a choice.
You’d just be annoying some data entry employee.
This wouldn’t work, anyway. They only prepay envelope postage, not a box.
You’d just be traumatizing some low level data entry employee.
It’s a major part of their profit margin, but even with their decline this quarter, they’d eek out a profit without it.

In Q4 2024 alone, Tesla earned $692 million from selling regulatory credits or carbon credits, accounting for nearly 30% of its quarterly net income of $2.33 billion.
At least for now, they’re keeping their financial head above water even without carbon credits. Of course, no business would willingly throw away 30% of its net income.
The big thing for them is that those credits are free profit. Other car companies have to buy them to make up for their ICE cars. Tesla doesn’t sell a single ICE car, so everything they make comes with a credit. Mind you, as the market transitions away from ICE, those will naturally evaporate from the company’s ledger.
He could divest himself from the company.
Joe Arpaio’s old county. They’re keeping the traditions alive, I see.
That, and Hegseth seems to be spending all his time being paranoid about leaks when he’s the biggest leaker. Between that and day drinking, he doesn’t have much time in his schedule to actually advance fascism.
Don’t get too excited about seething capitalists. Bezos is a major investor.
Well, we do know of several political appointees who leaked classified information. Didn’t even need a polygraph; they just told a journalist.
I don’t think that’s possible. Not to the degree that would rebuild trust in a reserve currency. Once that money starts moving to something else, it’s gone. There would need to be a big incentive to come back, and it’s not clear what that would be.
The change would have to happen before any major moves happen. But then, just the fact that US policy is flip flopping so quickly is itself reason to mistrust it as a reserve currency. How do you know it won’t flip right back?
The whole thing is a giveaway for China to step into America’s role on the world stage. I don’t think that can be undone at this point. It’s obvious that the US is not a stable, rational trade negotiator. Who wants to have their currency reserves under a country like that?
A 150-200mm drone frame wouldn’t have that kind of range in its battery, anyway. There are useful drones in the war that are even smaller than that.
You can dislike people with tattoos if you like. You’re doing so in the context of throwing them in concentration camps, and that is dumb as fuck.
Specifically, extermination camps are industrialized human suffering. Something like an assembly line that builds cars, except the output is death.
All that said, splitting hairs about the definition of this stuff is not a good place to be.
No, they got it just fine, it’s just a dumb opinion to have.
Under the current farm bill loophole, that brownie is probably now 100% federally legal no matter how much THC it had in it.
