There's a 'free zone' in Belize that ahh.... It's like a pustulant blister of capitalism. It's gross. Feels gross. Everywhere that isn't actively selling shit is a literal garbage dump, and there's a ton of building carcasses with faded signs falling off of them. Looks like in its heyday it was at best a sleazy strip mall.

Why does everyone in the US card everyone over something ostensibly about age?

It's never been about age.

I've seen a seventy year old man with a foot long white beard get carded and refused, while he was stone cold sober.

Do you think he can't handle his liquor? He's seventy. He knows what it does.

There's a lot of bars/restaurants that do.

I have literally been refused service because the only ID I had is a passport, and those barcodes wouldn't scan into their system.

It's Papers, please, and it's fucking bullshit

I'm 1000% against this age verification bullshit, not only because of the privacy and data reasons, but also because getting carded in a bar or at a store is also bullshit.

It Is Papers, please.

It's Never a question of if you're old enough, it's a question of "Do I think you're human enough?"

And more often than is reasonable, the answer is no, they don't think you're a person, who should be able to spend their money as they like.

Destroying amtrak is literally a republican agenda, for the automotive reasons you stated.

Also, if you can spring for a sleeper car, the experience is fucking amazing. Three meals (and one boozy drink) included a day, there was a wine tasting, just all around pretty rad.

The AMA was literally formed to keep all forms of healthcare to a few rich white guys called doctors, and prevent nurses and midwives from 'practicing medicine'.

There's also a whole lot more going on in health than chemistry. Placebos and holistic approaches work, and science doesn't know why, because science has to remove all variables in order to function, whereas the human condition is such a complex pile of interoperating nonsense sometimes the only way to get anywhere is to step back, look at, and address the greater picture.

Except here's the thing: in every form and fashion, they don't actually do anything to the ones doing the most harm
