@munda53870363 @R44D Free healthcare, so ... no taxes?

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

@BStizzl @Aella_Girl Payroll taxes increase the cost of hiring people beyond the point where I can make a profit by doing so. I can make $3/hr profit by paying $30/hr, but payroll taxes I must pay to government are > 10% (FICA, FUTA, SUTA, workers comp) & nobody will work for me for less than $30/hr.

@EndWokeness As usual, I agree with approximately half of them. Just as I do with Bernie Sanders' proposals. Unfortunately, as with Bernie, the other half are less inspiring.

@AndoverAthlete @Thomaswhite_99 @real_PAbaseball Looking forward to seeing him in Cooperstown while I am still ambulatory (PA '69).

@mtgreenee Why is cocaine use a problem? The number of cocaine users who develop use disorders is tiny, compared to the number of cocaine users who use it responsibly.

Let's not blame cocaine, let's hold irresponsible cocaine users responsible for their behavior.

@PressSec @POTUS @ONDCP Is POTUS serious? If so, ending the Drug War will eliminate 95% of the overdose problem within a month.

So, I repeat, is POTUS serious?

@DEAHQ Can you explain why a 'natural' high is to be preferred to an unnatural high?

First of all 'natural' has no special meaning with respect to most things, other than perhaps in some religions.

Secondly 99.99% of our modern world is not 'natural'. Twitter and the DEA, for example.

@ReginaLabelle Portugal's experiment was unnecessary as all it did was prove what serious theorists have been telling us for literally thousands of years - prohibition does not work.

May I assume politicians and their entourages are slow learners? Or should I assume they are just hypocrites.

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

@DEAHQ 50 years of terrorizing America and Americans and a large portion of the rest of the world.

Not something to be proud of.

@tedwheeler Ending the Drug War will reduce overdose deaths by 95%. Generic Safe Supply from pharmacies, priced to totally eliminate the black market, OTC, only dispensed by pharmacists who also provide accurate, reliable information on using safely. What's not to like?

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

@ONDCP 15% reduction in 3 of 4 census regions by 2025, compared with 95% reduction in 4 of 4 census regions by 2024 if we simply end the Drug War and start providing Safe Supply in pharmacies. Generic, OTC, only handed out by pharmacists, who provide realistic instructions for safe use.

@bradgreenutah @AngelaTC Should government be allowed to give pornography to adults? Any book, to anybody? Is it government's job 2 provide us books? Do my taxes build libraries so you can read books for free? Can I get a refund? If we auctioned off all public libraries would we have less to argue about?

Drug Warriors can't keep cocaine out of the White House, but they keep on sending cocaine users to the big house. You have to admire their Putinish dedication to a lost cause.

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

@RepMTG Rock bottom? Doesn't that depend on the purity of the cocaine? If even the White House can't get pharmaceutical grade cocaine that is, indeed, rock bottom.

@tdorman Take credit even when you don't deserve it. Like Biden and Trump and every other politician.

@MargoCatholic @AlissaWalsh21 @MattWalshBlog Sound in ping pong is a critical component of playing well - ka thunk ka thunk ka thunk ka thunk, etc.

Based on your suggestion I will play my next (live) game wearing noise cancelling earphones, however, to scientifically investigate my claim. If proven false I will retract.

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

@JebBush Jeb please explain the difference between smoking one joint of high potency marijuana and smoking two joints of lower potency marijuana. It is my understanding the body only has so many MJ receptors and once each of them is 'full' then smoking more MJ has no effect. Am I wrong?

[Rick Stewart @RickStewart]

What an embarrassment. And in 2020 ...
