I mean alot of male conservatives would unironically like these things back. (well maybe except the polio and the drugs I guess?)
I would say the drugs is a class thing…drugs are classy if youre rich, trashy if you’re poor.
I’m not USAian, but still.
Poor people are "crack heads", "junkies", and "drunks".
Rich people "have fun at parties", "Suffer from opioid abuse disorder", or are a "lush"...
Same shit, different tax bracket.
This true. Drugs are another tool to oppress people. The more money someone makes, the few drug tests they take.
It’s been well over a decade since I had to take a drug test for a job.
The more money someone makes, it's also the less likely they're working a job where people can be seriously harmed or killed by the direct, immediate effects of their behavior on the job. Jim from Sales being on smack is less likely to cause injury or death in the short term than forklift driver Klaus being on smack.
Drug tests penalize people for what they do on their own time. They’re a stick used to beat the proles.
Someone blasted at work is a problem. Klaus getting blasted off shift isn’t.
Secondary affects are probably worse, and more diabolical. Why kill one person when you could kill millions! Klaus running over Andy while blasted is less evil than the guy who put lead in gasoline.⛽️ Sure it’s easier to imagine, but one tear doesn’t make an ocean.
Are you sure about them not wanting polio to return? Anti-vaxxers are calling for it to happen.
No, you can include polio too. They don’t want the autism shots.
