What bothers to me to no end is Portugal legalised the sale of heroin decades ago as a public health measureâand it worked. Deaths from ODs dropped, use dropped, it helped people. Legalising heroin works. In a world with legalised heroin, my friend might still be alive. And itâs dismissed as a joke

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the governmentâs data, 2. Permanently damage the stateâs ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.
