And I'm not trying to change yours in 3 posts or less. That would be great, but that's not a realistic expectation and not something im emotionally invested in.
My use of the term "open borders" is the in favor term for the myriad interconnected issues that produce what we see today. (lack of border control measures (physical and people), catch and release into the US, selective law enforcement, encouragement of illegal immigration through incentivizing it and lack active work to create disincentives.
I can't quote any stats and don't want to devlove into an argument about which drug crisis is bigger (and i agree tha opioids are an issue). The only thing that i would offer is that the illicit drug trade has a whole bunch of other bad shit attached to it. Drugs in additon to killing Am Citizens directly provide income for cartels and gangs. Cartels destablize Mexico exacerbating the problem with border control. More powerful cartels = more human sex trafficking and other illegal stuf. Same with gangs. EDIT: The downstream effects of the ilicit drug trade within mexico are of biblical proportions. A "closed" border insulates mexico from the effects of the US's insatiable demand.
The focus on "the opioid crisis" has led to federal/state regulations that negatively impact care. Under-dosing of pain meds that legitmately should be given.
I personally have a prescription for a low level of something that is now super regulated that helps out the symptoms of my mTBI (etc.) I literally have to pay for a dr visit every 3 months to get my prescription refilled. I can do without it but my quality of life and productivity go way up when i take it. My Doctors told me that it's stupid and he he's fine with my dosage into perpetuity as long as i'm fine but his hands are tied he just can't put it on auto-renew like my other stuff.
I agree with your point, and my intent wasn’t to downplay the downstream effects of Cartel activity on the border. I just have an overwhelming hatred for big pharma and their history of overprescribing and price ****ing US citizens. I’m sorry you’re dealing with some rubber banding effects of the prescription pills industry, and I’m glad it’s not so dire that it makes your life miserable.
Hey man i'm with you on big pharma. Seniors pay too much for meds that they need, even with insurance... .and a lot don't get meds/treatment that they need due to cost.
My personal issue is just an minor asspain now that i've navigated the prescription refill process for this type of stuff and the remote dr visit process. The cost of the Dr visit isn't an issue either for me. But i'm sure for lots of people it might be.
He’s a waste of time. I’ve already explained what Fascism is but he’s brainwashed.
Fascism is LEFT WING GOVERNMENT.
A quote from Giovanni Gentile, the father of Fascism “ Fascism is a form of Socialism , in fact, it is, it’s most viable form”.
The name of the Nazi party was The National German Workers SOCIALIST Party.
Idk, should I believe a random guy on the internet who doesn't actually know what the Nazi party was? Or should I believe 99.9% of historians and political scientists on the planet?
Are we really going to pretend they know what they're doing?

Are you excited that if a bank rips you off, the agency who would have gotten it back for you has been dissolved? Does that make America great?
They're going to fight back like hell in the hopes that the kick-backs won't be uncovered.

Your the fan boy. You are publically just licking boots. Did you know the wasteful spending of USAID that was referenced by the Whitehouse has no citations? It could be completely made up. Just like condoms to Gaza. You have no clue what's happening yet you are cheering. How foolish
Look at this genius calling someone else foolish. Your posting history is a clusterfvck of dumbassery with predictions that proved incredibly stupid. You have less credibility than CNN. You dumbasses shit the bed so many times, no one including those moderately left of center values your opinions about anything any more.
The party of corruption, fraud, waste and abuse has no more cards to play. Hopefully your ilk will continue your herp derp rhetoric for at least 4 more years. There's no sign that more than 10% of your party has realized that with a loss of credibility comes a complete lack of effectiveness of their lies and exaggerations. You all keep spewing your bullshit and driving people to the right. Thanks for all you and your fellow far left clowns do. 😘
