Only idiots and weak people need drugs.

With such shallow knowledge and judgement on the subject, you’re probably best not commenting on it at all. Look into trauma and wider issues around why people use drugs. It’s a very deep and complex issue and not something that should just be brushed off with daily mail style arrogance. But I’m sure you probably know that and are up for getting a rise.

Look into people liking to get off their heads as well. No trauma required.

There’s also the fun and rebellious side of it when you’re young and although many shake it some don’t for a number of reasons.

That’s where it all starts. But most drug use is related to trauma and people unable to sit with themselves and the pain that they are in.

I imagine George Norman as a 1950’s type character reading a Neville Shute novel whilst smoking a pipe in a plain but comfortable cardigan.

Oh do behave; you really are so naive with your thoughts. People take drugs because they like to be out of their heads. I did puff when I was younger and billy and poppers. Then I grew up

Trust me, I’m far from naive with my thoughts. I have done more work in this field than most could even wish to learn.

You work with a tiny minority who fit your need to give you a job. Most drug takers just want to be out of their heads and lead a long and normal life outside of Friday night. BTW I don’t wish to learn about this field thankyou. I will leave it to others who might be more empathetic/ sympathetic, pick your hat.

That’s fair enough. And I hope that you don’t have to learn about it.

Moody's downgraded the outlook on the US credit rating to 'negative' from 'stable' on Friday, citing large budget deficits and declining debt affordability.

The revised view from Moody's means the likelihood of a further downgrade over the next 12 months.

The Biden adminisation has just been a continuance of huge financial spending via increasing debt levels.

Utter incompetence.

But they’re not a dangerous creeping autocratic nightmare intent on nothing but revenge against anyone and anything that dares question their motives. So overall, they’re much more favourable than the alternative. And if you can’t see that, then god help you.

When Russia charges the opposition with crimes it's different.
