I asked a friend this the other day and they didn’t know. In the last election Harris seemed to be set up to take over from Biden at the next election, but since then I’ve not heard anything about her or what she’s been up to as VP. What happened?

I won’t if it’s about weight/centre of gravity. Holding a full mug by the handle is more effort and less comfortable.
Plus my fingers don’t get all toasty warm.
The safe space idea is interesting. Maybe there would be a correlation between the type of drug and risks associated with it and the use of those spaces. I’m not sure people would make the effort to go to a space to smoke when they can do it pretty safely at home.
I was thinking about this some more yesterday and ultimately land in the area of it’s a good sounding change and if it leads to some instances of antisocial behaviour, then let’s look at how we solve that afterwards. Were never going to find a single perfect solution to everything and meanwhile people are dying.
I can put my “what about me?!” problems to one side.
Seems like a sensible step and possibly free up public services a little for other things? Legalising and taxing feels like a good thing too, but maybe I’m being naieve. Overall though, good for society.
My biggest worry, and it’s such a selfish worry, is how it affects me. I’ve had neighbours (terrace and semi-detached) who smoke weed and it causes everyone’s house to stink. It’s a shitty experience and something you can’t do a lot about. Would that happen more and more with decriminalisation/legalisation? You can use whatever substances you like, but should I be affected by that choice?
I’m not sure I trust people to consider others, drugs or not.
Don’t suppose he said why he believed taxpayers need that?
I’ve experienced working a 4 day week and I found it such a positive experience both from how much I got done in the 4 days and how much happier I was. I’d love for everyone to have that opportunity, especially public sector workers.
I mean, if “take back control” means treat people with dignity and respect. Offering them safe routes and a welcoming speedy asylum process then, great.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s what they mean by “take back control” and that just makes me wonder who on Earth is going to offer me an actual progressive alternative to vote for at the next election.
Can we form a Lemmy Party or something?
