That’s what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.

It’s never too late to do reconstruction.

The DEA has the authority to deschedule a drug without a legislative process.

The president can make a public statement saying “I believe that marijuana should not be a scheduled drug”.

The president can appoint a DEA administrator who is on record saying that they believe cannabis should not be a scheduled drug.

He did neither of those things, and you claimed that he did. Maybe scroll up if you forgot. Either back the claim or stop replying.

*Jesus christ he cannot read.

Ok so where’s the example of him calling for descheduling marijuana which you said he did. Or the example that his DEA admin was pro-legalization.

Please give me 1 example of Biden encouraging his DEA to deschedule cannabis because I can’t find one and doubt it exists.

*downvoting me won’t make that statement exist. 2022 Biden statement on marijuana reform Notable absence: “marijuana should not be on the CSA list of scheduled drugs”. Interesting inclusion: ‘LSD is a good example of what should be a schedule 1 drug’

That’s the problem, they’re not or barely trying. Descheduling cannabis was within reach of this administration, they chose not to.

“I’m going to thank you for doing 1% of what you could and should have instead of demanding to know why you didn’t do more”

Why are you acting like “appointing a DEA administrator that is pro-legalization” and “make public statements encouraging them to deschedule cannabis” are somehow unthinkable and totalitarian?

Being happy with too little too late is exactly why climate change is going be as catastrophic as it will be so I really don’t get how that makes your case. If biden wanted to he could have pressured the dea to deschedule cannabis completely. He didn’t. The DNC hates to lose one of the carrots from their stick.

Meth is schedule 2. Which highlights how absurd cannabis being schedule 1 for so long was.

This would have been a baby step 10 years ago if we’re being generous. California’s medical marijuana program has been a legal gray area since 1996. So what we can expect federal legalization in another 20 years at this rate? If biden touts this on the campaign trail as an accomplishment I’m going to lose my god damn mind.

This is so long overdue it doesn’t deserve celebration, it deserves a “what took so long, this isnt even controversial”. If your partner/roommate has been telling you to do the dishes for 20 years and you finally wash some you don’t get to turn around and go “look at me, I did 20% of the dishes! aren’t I great!”

individualism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

To his credit SpaceX was at least a correct recognition that the dominant space launch companies were just a cartel milking federal funding for as much as possible. That sector is so stagnant that ULA still hasn’t blinked at the massive success of first stage reusability.

Crime rates per capita are mostly lower in rural areas in the US with the notable exception of hate crimes. https://www.ncjrs.gov/ovc_archives/ncvrw/2017/images/en_artwork/Fact_Sheets/2017NCVRW_UrbanRural_508.pdf

I had a travel job broadly under the umbrella of trades, we were pulling like 85k+ between overtime and per diem working 6 days a week. Maybe 2 months into this job we were having some meeting about the upcoming 2 week break for Christmas and one of the younger guys makes some comment about missing out on hours and says ‘man we’re broke’.

I’m just sitting there like ??? I thought you guys were exaggerating about the $1k+ nights at strip clubs. I had already maxed my ira contributions and run out of things I could think of to waste money on.

Until we can stop making new cars we need to be able to make more electric cars.

It’s just more the same small-picture ‘environmentalism’ that lead to Germany shutting down nuclear in favor of more coal and gas. Slowing down the switch from gas to electric cars to save <1% of 1 new growth forest is dumb as hell.

I would maybe focus on oil and gas infrastructure if I was an eco terrorist but that’s just me.
