Not a bad idea. In the Civil War, the North allowed men who were drafted to pay $300 to get out of serving.
Maybe y'all could update that.

Ya been to Quidi Vidi too, Bye?
That just traumatized many of them and now many of the traumatized are passing trans-generational trauma on to their children. How did that improve anything?
So how do you propose we help the poor?
from the standpoint of economic efficiency, I'd like to give the poor the tools that can help them help themselves first, since that's all the help that some of them might need, and that's cost effective. Then we can focus our resources who do need more help than that. Seems logical to me to get those who can help themselves do that first.
Trans generational trauma is real for sure and it absolutly should be passed on and is without fail, do you advocate for rehistorification to smooth out the lumps?

Er... what?
I know that if I suffered addiction, I'd probably appreciate some of the recommendations in the OP.

That's how I was looking at it.
I didn't understand any of it.

I,ve been an adict for a long time, so fuk off you know zip about addiction.
I've suffered a few addictions too.
I don,t suffer, I indulge
How's that an addiction? Ah, you're still in the denial stage?
The patronizing sh*t you're proposing (on a par with your foolish plans to criminalize sex) have also been tried, and improved nothing. So why not?
Nice to see your mastery at re-inventing failed ideas continues in the new year.
And you,re reading a handout to me. I,m at least three stages beyond denial and well into the I don,t care cuz I still rule. You seem to be a sober well aclimatized individual with ideas, which is good, in my denialized thinking.
Really? Please feel free to go line by line with an example of a historical precedent for most of them that has not worked?
As for funding for trades and professional education, that has helped the poor in a number of jurisdictions around the world. Prohibition didn't work because it was excessive. But show me a jurisdiction that has tried a legalized version of a speakeasy (i.e. that must hide behind a front business, with strict advertising rules, etc. but just short of being totally criminalized).
Show me a jurisdiction that requires financial institutions to give their clients the tools to limit their access to their own debit cards should they wish to do so. Now or historically.
show me a jurisdiction that requires a smartphone to come with Screentime, Mobicip, or some other similar app reinstalled to make the owner aware of its existence? Now Singapore is known for internet sensorship especially of pornography, and it's also one of the wealthiest states in the world when it comes to per capita GDP. Yet I'm not even proposing state sensorship but rather just making the owner of a smartphone aware of the existence of tools to help him sensor himself if he wants to.
Oh, and TB, there is a difference between sex and fornication. How many times do I have to tell you? Even science would agree that curbing the rate of fornication would reduce the spread of STIs and the rate of single motherhood. No?
