Exactly. Many addicts are socially functioning … working jobs, having and caring for families, yet still addicts.

Your brush strokes fail to take them into account.

Yet you seem to be assuming that ALL addicts are non-functional in society. The 80’s Wall St should have taught you that’s not true.

The DNC must love them.

I have fantasies of protecting myself from insecure Conservatives who aren’t sure if I’m female or male, but wanna beat the shit out of me either way.

(kidding/not kidding)

ahahahaha!!!

How many addicts or former addicts do you know 'cause that’s a pretty big brush you’re using to paint ALL addicts with.

I used to be an addict (booze) and came close a couple of times to a full-blown cocaine addiction (the 80’s and early 90’s were crazy).

If you can’t feel any empathy or compassion for those battling an addiction you are missing out on an important part of being human and caring for your neighbor … whoever they may be.

Or prairie oysters.

Timbits.

Then support the richest 10% having their taxes raised to 70% like it was prior to Reagan getting his grubby little hands in the mix. Oregon would then be able to afford to build more drug treatment centers.

A $100 ignorable ticket isn’t an incentive.

A wiser person might concede that if an unhoused addict had $100 in spare change they might also be able to afford treatment, housing and food.

The latest survey of Mexican wolves showed there were at least 286 in Arizona and New Mexico, marking the ninth straight year of population growth. Federal wildlife managers reported 100 livestock kills in 2024, saying that number is decreasing.

Only having 100 confimed livestock kills, which are compensated by the government, kind of defeats the argument that the wolf population is out of control.

Your good news of the day.

Israel has adopted a national consciousness of perpetual victimhood, where anything that Israel feels is an attack or anti-semitic automatically becomes a valid reason to commit murder.

Israel is a failed nation full of murderers, rapists and ultranationalists who believe that the world owes them everything and consequences don’t matter.

I would argue the super rich tech bros and unfettered capitalism contribute way more to the so-called ‘degradation of society’ than any street people do.

But that’s just my opinion, having lived on the streets myself.

He’s a scammer who was born with an emerald mine shoved up his ass and a silver spoon dangling from his mouth.

I had a bit of an argument with a former boss a few years back about him. My boss couldn’t understand why I didn’t like Musk, so I explained. It didn’t help.

Just wondering if you also read the article.

Fyi that is tagged as “couldn’t find post”.

LOL. Schmusk will be happy to hear that.

As always, ACAB.

Well damn. :(
