I feel like you're more upset with the short term loss of those things and don't understand that there may be long term benefits of losing them
if we’re talking about those things never having existed at all, and would you want to create them or not? I’d say not
but the fact is they do exist and people would be absolutely miserable if you just took them away
Like I get it. It's freedom in a capitalist market. The Chinese heavily smoke/drink so assuming those would ever be gone is nonsensical, but I can't help but think the world would be better off without them
China really did done cuck themselves with the good old one child policy back a few decades ago though
It's the one major reason I see that would prevent them from sustained world power
I find most govt. mandated forms of ‘harm reduction’ to be worthless and virtue signally
my provincial govt. has made a huge deal about ‘fighting the overdose crisis’ by putting huge pressure on MDs to not prescribe any painkillers or benzos….. pushing more people to street dope laced with fent. OD numbers have gone UP
oh and my 79 year old dad who was a roofer for 40 years can’t get T3s anymore… because they’re addictive and it’s for his own good. he’s been taking them occasionally for 20+ years. he takes like one a week. he’s not an addict.
but now he has to suffer more from back pain, thanks guys you’re really fighting addiction
and people like me with chronic pain are just considered justifiable collateral in this ‘war on addiction’ if we have to live horrible pain filled lives that’s okay as long as johnny oxy has to buy street dope and can’t get anything from a doctor
I don’t disagree with you here but the fact is they do already exist and taking them away would just not work
China has much better tools and is more ruthless at dealing with drug dealing

I don't see the economy recovering to old highs anytime soon but I believe apple will hold up if things don't get worse which they prolly will
If history is any indicator the fed won't be able to help themselves from lowering interest rates bac to 0 and printing more money
also shoutout to the NZ govt. flying in a helicopter with police to arrest a man camping by himself in a secluded outdoor area, for violating the stay at home lockdown
that pandemic market hit different
Also I think notjones is right about one thing. Quantitative bots control the market. As soon as Apple misses earnings or lowers guidance due to slowed spending they lose 25% after hours
Thinking that there is an immune company in this castle of glass is probably delusional
I also predict $6 gas prices this year
Yeah nobody is but I don't think it's going to be that black and white either. The market is irrational, that's too logical
I used to be like: the federal deficit don't matter
But now I be like: the federal deficit has accurately predicted every nations downfall since the invention of modern capitalism in the 1500s
