  • What’s ironic is that it’s the liberal-eating-local-buy-local-equality-socialist types that are are subsidizing their ability to live in that small rural town at all.

    County State Aid roads, clean water infrastructure, education, business development grants, farm grants… All of that is paid for by big city taxes, which typically (not always… Looking at you Ft. Worth…) lean liberal. In my state one rural community received tax funding at a rate of 480% compare to what they paid in, where as the city center reviebes about 60% of the taxes they pay.

    Farm-to-table? Anti-trust regulations? Farm subsidies? The USDA rural development? All paid for in large part by taxes, most of which come from city centers.

    And yet exactly what you said - they want liberal big cities gone. They see them as a plight upon the land.

    It’s crazy.







  • Unfortunately, the President has no role in the scheduling of substances. The Supreme Court has already made it clear the president cannot do this by executive order, and Congress gave the power to schedule dugs to the DEA.

    The DEA takes the recommendation from HHS. HHS basically then hands the reigns over to the FDA, who then evaluates the drug, and provides evidence to the HHS based on testing and scientific research. HHS then takes that information and creates a scheduling recommendation for the DEA.

    Then, the DEA takes that recommendation, does its own research and has a public comment period, and THEN it can reschedule a drug.

    Since Congress gave the president no direct role in this process, all the administration can do is appoint officials they think will be supportive of their decisions, and then make their opinions known, and act as a bit of grease to get things moving.

    Descheduling is even more difficult - first because of international treaties, and second - part of the reason marijuana has not been rescheduled already is due to a lack of scientific evidence for specific things the FDA looks for. This is largely because people can’t do research because of its classification… So it’s a catch-22.

    If the DEA rewchediles weed, this would allow for further research to be conducted which in time could allow it to be fully rescheduled.

    The DEA has already signalled they are planning or at least wanting to reschedule weed to allow for further testing.

    See here

    OR… Congress could pass a law removing marijuana from the controlled substances act.




  • What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

    The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

    The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

    Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

    Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

    Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

    Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

    Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.
