The problem now is that they stopped prescribing opiates for people go need them. Now, the suicide rate has increased for those with Chronic Pain issues. Many places stopped giving Pain medication after major surgeries.

They were giving Ocycontin for minor muscle pain, because regular doctors were told that it had no abuse risk. Now, they assume everyone has the predisposition for opioid addiction, when it’s only 5% of the population or so.

As a person who needs pain meds daily just to function, I miss the days when doctors were able to focus on doctring instead of withholding treatment because the DEA wants to arrest doctors. Over 20 years I’ve been on opiates and when I get a prescription canceled, or need to change meds, I stop them and after 3 days I’m clean again.

It’s not that big of a deal when you don’t get high from regular dosages. I never moved to the black market, I usually just suffer and complain to my doctor politely when I can’t get out of bed and bathe myself because they stop my medications.

Many other people choose Suicide be abuse constant 24/7 pain takes a heavy toll on your psyche.

Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

While reading this, I had a couple of thoughts.

John Brown really wouldn’t rest well with this.

Has the time come for a storming of an American Bastille?

All with the song from Les Miserables “Do You Hear the People Sing” going on in my head.

I think the time is coming to finish what the Abolitionists started and fulfill the purpose of the Civil War.

So nice that before this happened, the railworkers wanted to strike duets safety concerns and understaffed Railroads. All to keep them from taking days off and lowering profits.

Good old Joe Biden (friend to the working man) denied the strike request because interfering with Christmas shipping would be a problem.

I think the railworkers should have called his bluff and all off the job. Unlike Reagan and the Air Traffic Strike, the military can’t just take over those jobs. He couldn’t replace the entire unionized jobs like the AIR Force could take over flight operators.

I had my first minor heart attack pushing carts in the snow for Toys R US at 16. That was a brutal job for $4.75 an hour in 97.

Those were many things on their own that would fix the problems. Fixing the pay inequality is the easiest, but making companies pay taxes would be pretty easily if those in power weren’t bribed to not pass those changes.

Gun laws don’t lower crime, crime has been lowered without them. The media makes good money with pushing the fear aspect, the same way that Trump gets media attention for all the BS coming from his mouth. The media never shows people protecting themselves with gun’s because it goes against their main narrative.

The main reason billionaires push the anti-gun rhetoric is because they don’t want to face the gun’s when people finally get sick of their exploitation.

Sadly that’s what most of the gun laws are designed about. Book banning and anti-abortion both are limiting tools because of what a small minority choose to do with the tool.

AI image generation shouldn’t be considered in obscenity laws. His distribution or pornography to minor should be the issue, because not everyone stuck with that disease should be deprived tools that can be used to keep them away from hurting others.

Using AI images to increase charges should be wrong. A pedophile contacting and distributing pornography to children should be all that it takes to charge a person. This will just setup new precedent that is beyond the scope of the judiciary.

All this does is impact legal gun owners and makes it so the poor don’t ever have the means to defend themselves.

The only thing that increasing legal firearm costs does is keep the elites able to protect themselves and their lifestyles while making sure nobody can rise up against them.

This means more people are unable to practice with their guns, which has the opposite effect of making things safer.

Firearms are tools and an inalienable right for all people, not just the wealthy. The push by the elites to attack Gun Rights are so that nobody can oppose them when they keep increasing prices and their greed becomes an even greater burden to the rest of the population. Crime has been going down for decades, but the anti-gun groups still push the fear of guns.

The amount of spree shootings are almost insignificant for the majority of kids at schools, but they constantly make kids afraid of guns by pushing the shooter drills.

The fix to gun violence is fixing economic inequality. Stop treating the majority of the population as slaves and increase wages and break up the Oligopoly that controls goods and services. Stop allowing stock market manipulation and bribery. Start charging the wealthy people and multinational corporations taxes like they used to. Stop giving the wealthy people the ability to pay less Social Security taxes and let disabled people not be forced below the poverty line. Force the Stock Market to pay dividends instead of allowing stock price be the only value from investing. Finally, bring back pension funds, stop qualified immunity, regulate media companies again, and fix the election spending problems.

Every single one of those changes will do more to stop violence than increasing taxes on firearms and ammo. Hell, they started promoting smoking again because CHIP funding was down because too many people stopped smoking and the rich didn’t want to pay for childhood health insurance.

I’m glad I don’t live in California anymore, but criminals don’t pay taxes and won’t ever follow gun laws. Also, police have no duty to protect, so their only job in modern society is to fill out the paperwork when some criminal kills an unarmed person. Most police will shoot the civilians they were called to protect from the criminals and will be rewarded with paid vacation time. Making it more expensive to protect yourself and your family really is a bad call.

Oh, and just a FYI; when Biden reschedules Cannabis, it will make every dispensary under the control of the DEA. So the DEA can just close them all down or make up new rules to steal all the profit from Marijuana sales nationwide. The DEA will become the supplier of all Cannabis and everything that the last decade did for legalization will disappear.

Nobody in Government really has a clue and the Supreme Court will keep steamrolling our rights.

It’s not about affordability at all. The people that are willing to loan the US money are only willing to loan the US money for guns and bullets to go to Israel, money to Ukraine is good as long as its for more guns and bullets because weapons have a great ROI. Healthcare for all in the US has poor ROI so there is no point t to it. People are replaceable here in the US. That’s why they’re trying to push through AI way too early on us all.

With the coming Grant’s Pass Supreme Court decision to legalize slavery against homeless people coming soon, who needs regular employees. Just CCI Prison Slaves for all your manual labor needs. Also, all the former abolitionist states have now passed total gun control legislation so people will no longer be able to break out their slave family members from their prison worksites.

I never wanted to actually live in the Cyberpunk 2020 world. I was just hoping for some of the bonuses instead of all of the negatives.

Iran should have plenty of material for a dirty bomb from their joint Russian reactor project many many years back. The problem is that the US can fingerprint Uranium to where it was mined after a blast due to each mine having their own set of impurities based on the region the material came from.

If the he material used in the peaceful electrical reactor project ends up in a bomb, it could be used as Casus Belli for a Nuclear Reaponse against Iran and Russia by Israel and the US.

I’m wondering when the time will come to start turning into modern John Brown’s, or will the Billionaires have succeeded in outlawing all guns before people wake up?

The modern gun control movement has been bankrolled by Billionaires for decades and used the media to sit fear of guns so that their control will never be overthrown.

Every pleb is a consumer who must slave and consume.

Which is very helpful when their security carries guns and won’t be near grappling range.

If the collapse comes, all the rich people will be booted outside their nice bunkers and starve.

He only bought Twitter because he was forced to or admit he was trying to manipulate the stock again.

He bought a much higher stake, used Twitter to telegraph a higher price than it was worth. Then he didn’t use his own money when he was finally forced to purchase Twitter at the higher price he tweeted. The money he used to purchase Twitter came from countries who have stated they didn’t want Twitter to be around because it hurt their public perception when they were caught doing shady things.

His Twitter gift started the same way the SEC sued him for market manipulation for his Tesla manipulation years before. Publishing his $420 price point then selling stock when the price goes beyond his tweeted price point.

He was never savy enough to use shorting like the Hedge funds do, but his reach among the idiot masses to cause jumps in price to artificially male a bigger profit.

Let’s make sure he’s just another nearly headless Tim…

I worked in a semiconductor plant. There isn’t any special skill to it. You have a list that you do and nowadays the robots actually do all the difficult work.

In my time, you had to check and calculate by hand the offsets for the lithography machines. Now with it being done in self-contained robots because of the radiation x-ray process, a person just manages the robots.

Also, why isn’t the new Intel plant being built having the same issues with qualified workers?

I personally think it’s stupid to build a high water using plant in the middle of a desert, when the area hasn’t ever monitored the water table.

Totally understandable incompetence from the military.

I think I only have a few original pages from my service. Most just disappear.
