“Without a high bond and the threat of lengthy prison sentence, I would never have stopped using…now I have a Ph.D”
Recovery is heroic. It often requires being arrested.
It’s time for us to grow up and recognize that MANY addicts need to be arrested!
What a testament to the advocacy nature of so much “journalism” about drugs and “homelessness” that we rarely hear stories like the one above even though they are so common
The United Nations is using a talking dinosaur to urge poor African nations to not use fossil fuels while providing information to global elites about which airports in which they can land their private jets for next week’s climate change meeting
"The White House’s call for more fossil fuel production by OPEC sits awkwardly with its efforts to lead a global fight against climate change & its tightening of regulation in the US oil sector"
Ya think?
Quick recap
Climate activists demanded governments, banks, corporations shift funding from reliable energies to unreliable energies
This barbarism. Why do the progressives who run our cities allow it? Because they believe arresting him and mandating drug treatment is worse than letting him die on the sidewalk without dignity.
Yes, that is the actual reason. And yes, it is as stupid as it sounds.
The big lie is that San Francisco lets ~700 people/year die totally preventable drug deaths, including on the street, because it lacks the money to help them.
But SF spends over $100,000 per homeless person. That’s more than enough to pay for 90 days of court-ordered rehab
The official line from the people who are directly responsible for allowing 700+ of our fellow humans to die on sidewalks, rather than receive mandated treatment, is that “homelessness is caused by poverty, high rents & lack of housing.” They want us to believe our eyes are lying
After the Fukushima accident 10 years ago, nuclear energy was widely viewed as politically radioactive. Today, nuclear energy is coming back, around the world, in a big way. Why? By doing the opposite of what the anti-nuclear movement had done.
“Abandoning Nuclear Power Would Be Europe’s Biggest Climate Mistake,” screams Bloomberg today. “If Biden is serious about the climate crisis, he should put nuclear on the table,” said the LA Times Wednesday. “The Dream Is Possible,” tweeted French President Emmanuel Macron.
Viewed as politically radioactive just a decade ago, after the Fukushima accident, nuclear power is today coming back in a big way. The pro-nuclear movement is growing like gangbusters in even hostile nations like Belgium, Germany, and Australia.
Yesterday, Health & Human Services retracted a suggestion by Sec. @XavierBecerra that Biden Admin. supports "safe injection sites" to use meth, heroin, & fentanyl
The reason for the confusion is because Biden Admin has no vision for reversing America's drug death crisis
The following is a joint statement by @calif_peace, a formal coalition of parents of homeless children addicted to illicit drugs, parents of children killed by fentanyl, recovering addicts, homeless service providers, & community leaders
America urgently needs a serious and comprehensive strategy to halt and reverse the rise in illicit drug deaths, from 17,000 in 2000 to 99,000 in the twelve months preceding March 2021, and yet the Biden administration has still not offered one.
People think "fire is bad" but it's not. Many forests need fires. The kind of fire matters. Many forests including California's famous Sierra Nevadas need "good" low-intensity fires to stay healthy and prevent "bad" low-intensity fires
Fires have declined by one-quarter globally since 1998, according to NASA, and the primary cause of California’s high-intensity fires is forest mismanagement, not warmer temperatures.
