Legality is flexible and can usually be bought by the highest bidder. And just because cars are obtained legally, doesn't mean they are used as the manufacturer intended.
With fentanyl, we should stop blaming the homeless person and blame the manufacturer of the drug. In the same way, we should also stop blaming the drivers for killing people and blame the manufacturers that lobbied to make automobile transportation the only way to get around.
I'll try...
Fentanyl is drug, legally manufactured in China and used in clinical trials which, when used correctly and within the laws, can facilitate treatment of Addiction, PTSD, and depression.
Also imagine how many animals are killed by cars. And how many habitats have become uninhabitable to the toxicity of the tire and exhaust pollutants.
The issue is work. We work way too much for how productive we've become. We should be working like 20hrs a week
If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.
I know, Android is so much better that iOS
It rolls of the tongue a bit nicer than:
"We must dismantle the Prison & Military Industrial Complex and divert those funds into Educating, Feeding, and Housing the working class!"
What would it genuinely take to get people angry enough with the status quo to force radical change?
First, I thought natural disasters would... But people just seem to get temporarily displaced from their homes and then come right back to rebuild on the same land. They'll just blame the one off event.
Then I thought covid would be the breaking point, where people are finally uncomfortable enough to take action.
Will the next pandemic force the change?
Will it take mass homelessness and starvation?
Will it be an inspirational artist/piece of artwork that captures humanity?
I'm genuinely asking what you guys think.
