One reason weed should never have been a schedule one drug is if you can’t get any your body isn’t going to make your brain think it’s a good idea to take money out of mom’s purse to get it. You might do that anyway but that would because you’re an asshole.

If you’re hooked on heroin, meth or coke  etc, you’ll smack grandma upside the head with a skillet that still has  catfish frying in it to get cash in order to boost.

That we’ve allowed generations of lives to be tossed into the maw of mass incarceration was a decision based on nothing but bullshit.

Racist bullshit at that.

Were you high when you wrote this?

Because you haven't connected one dot to another.

Clean this up.

BTW, there is research that links early marijuana usage to greater alcohol abuse among individuals. The amount of criminal and violent activity linked to alcohol abuse is quite significant.

Look up Harry Anslinger.

No matter where , how or why it originated the GOP screwed the pooch and let it devastate the nation.


Yes - THIS, indeed.

To name a few.
Might be fun but finding a job?
Not so much.

Video game Design
Music Industry Studies
Ethnomusicality
Vineyard Management
Informatics
Rhetoric
Comparative Literature

Informatics experts are in high demand.   As are coders and graphics designers for video gaming.   A friend of mine studied informatics, now has his own biotech company.
Some of the others are academic fields that have been around for centuries, and offer the chance to teach and do research.   Vineyard mgmt is part of agribusiness, and offers well-paying jobs.   The newer fields on the list have seen growth in demand for trained specialists,  which is why universities responded with courses.   

You seem to have cut/pasted again,  and with no idea what you're talking about.

None of those graduates are in high demand.
Not one.
As for cut and pasting, I made a list, albeit a small one, copied it and pasted it.
Sue me.

Informatics is the popular current term for computer science you cretin.

I’m happy Red’s here to teach us.

The same poll found 37 percent of U.S. Jews ages 18-29 said the United States was too supportive of Israel, more than double who felt that way in the 65-plus cohort.

Zachary Federman, a student at Brown University, said many Jewish students believed they were taught a "sugar coated" version of Israel in their youth.

For one branch of it, but not all of it.

Only 945 informatics jobs on Indeed at the moment.
149 Vineyard Manager openings, but 900 other jobs that call for that training.
Over 1000 video game designer/developer jobs.

I'll grant Ward that there are only a few dozen jobs calling for Music Industry Studies. explicitly, but would wager a large amount of money that few of those with that degree are not going on to grad school - or ever planned otherwise. Studying any industry preps one for being able to understand others. See also: Liberal Arts majors and Philosophy Majors.

Hadn't heard of ethnomusicality as a field before, but I suspect that it aligns with ethnomusicology, for which there are some jobs out there. High demand? Nope - but how many ethnomusicality degrees got handed out last year?

Ward listed Rhetoric and Comparative Lit?!

Hahahahaha!

Setting aside that there are more than 800 jobs calling for a background that rhetoric is explicitly desired for, again, rhetoric is a stepping stone degree into a host of fields, including law.

Comparative lit is another major that was never intended as a terminal degree. But... there are more than 5,000 editorial positions, Ward. You think those are beyond a Comparative Lit major?! You know what other major is considered a good path for a future editor?! Rhetoric!

There is no major in editing.

Made that list up yourself, you claim?

You should be so proud. You found TWO majors that don't have tons of openings in their fields.

U.S. should dig deeper into theory that Covid originated in a Wuhan lab, ex-Clinton official says

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/24/us-should-dig-deeper-into-theory-that-covid-originated-in-a-wuhan-lab-ex-clinton-official-says.html

Most likely it was developed in a Chinese lab and escaped because of an unfortunate accident? Trump was the wrong president to handle the situation. Totally clueless about public health. Cutback on many programs that might have helped.

Interesting catfight on the "view" about the loony fringes in both parties.

The Squad says wearing masks are just like Jews wearing a yellow Star in Nazi Germany?

The Squad says wildfires were started by Jewish Space lasers?

There is NO comparison the left for the looney MAINSTREAM of the GQP.

Grow up. It only took you four years to realize Trump took credit for improvements to the VA made under Obama.

How about a stipend for all students who were diligent in paying off their loans?

How come those have always scream unfair when those who don’t catch a break?

I paid off my student loans a couple years ago. Why should I begrudge folks who didn’t have the same access to the financial resources I have?

How come so many groups come to this country with nothing and still make it, while others keep complaining of unfair access to resources but refuse to work or embrace real education?

For a myriad of reasons, most to simple for the bigoted mind to comprehend.

Which explains your ignorance, bigot.

Hell, you can’t grasp a simple concept.

Oh, it's simple concept. You hate anyone who has worked harder than you and gotten further in life.

GI's earned their degrees.

It was the opportunities provide by the GI Bill that we’re off limits to black vets, you idiot.

That's "were", not "we're", HBCU grad.

Proud HBCU grad. You didn’t dispute the fact now, did you?

 Some people say that has never been proven here. There is ample reason to suspect it.

“I’ll say the quiet part out loud; it’s time for ‘progressives’ to start condemning anti-semitism and violent attacks on Jewish people with the same intention and vigor demonstrated in other areas of activism."
