@flamecycle@usanewshq If he started breaking hard the drone would have to make adjustments to hold its position due to the GeForces it would be subjected too. I don’t think it’s immune to the speed of the vehicle, but it is not flying for 50 km speed either, just position holding from inside vehicle.
@LueElizondo We should talk sometime, I hope we meet in person one day. I’m pretty sure you already know who I am, or at least might have heard something’s. We could help each other, especially for me, in helping me understand more of what happened in Iraq. Congress is aware of me.
Who likes bands like #Primus and #MrBongalo ?
Great bands indeed

@heydave7@elonmusk Doesn’t make sense at all. You are still an American hero Elon! So don’t let this stop you. In fact, it should motivate you to do more, return. I have faith this isn’t a setback but a step towards something even bigger you will usher in.
Legalizing and taxing marijuana like alcohol makes a lot of sense on paper—create a revenue stream while cutting the legs out from under black markets. Let’s run with it.
The numbers back you up: U.S. states with legal weed pulled in $15 billion in tax revenue from 2014 to 2023, with Colorado alone raking in over $2 billion since legalization. Scale that nationally, and estimates suggest $10-20 billion annually, depending on tax rates and consumption. Alcohol’s taxed at about $13.50 per proof gallon federally—apply a similar model to weed (say, per ounce or THC content), and you’ve got a steady cash flow. States like California already use it for schools, housing, and youth programs; redirecting it to student loan servicers or underfunded government ops could plug some real gaps.
Student loan servicing, for instance, is a mess—companies like Navient get heat for mismanaging accounts, and the feds spend billions subsidizing a system with a $1.7 trillion debt overhang. Chucking a few billion from weed taxes at it could streamline operations or even fund debt relief pilots. Other underfunded spots—like infrastructure or public health—could also eat well without raising income taxes, which nobody loves.
Regulation-wise, alcohol’s a decent blueprint: age limits (21?), potency caps, DUI laws, and licensed sellers. It’s not perfect—booze still fuels accidents and addiction—but it’s a framework that’s cut illegal trade and kept quality consistent. Marijuana’s lower overdose risk and slower addiction profile might even make it smoother to manage.
The counterargument’s usually “gateway drug” fears or public health costs, but data’s thin—teen use hasn’t spiked in legal states, and healthcare costs from weed pale next to alcohol’s $250 billion yearly U.S. tab. Plus, taxing it could offset any rise in treatment needs.
Where would you prioritize the funds—student loans specifically, or spread it wider?#weedfix #reformusa #taxreformbills #WeedFix #DOGE
Hi,
In a brief 4 part thread. Here is my fix to issues we face as a hole, just a good area that needs attention.
1/ Legalize weed, tax it like alcohol, use the cash to fix underfunded systems—student loans, infrastructure, whatever’s broke. States already pull $15B since 2014. No overdose deaths, unlike booze. Why’s it still illegal? Politics, not science. #WeedFix
3/ Wartime? Full activation at 21. Before shipping out, they get a supervised beer or joint—off-base bars or canteens got it covered. No babysitting, just UCMJ rules. Squad leaders watch, like a unit BBQ. Morale boost, not chaos. #WeedFix#MilitaryReform
