Why you should know: This is important for a majority of Americans, who consume “drugs” like cannabis and psychedelics, because law enforcement will be willingly conscripted into violating your peace and civil rights for religious gain. Drugs are dangerous primarily because LEOs are violent and eager to punish perceived heresies. This effort by the Trump Administration is yet another coup against normal, good people and should be obviously evil to you.
The more you know…
Unless you have a gas chromatography device embedded in everyone’s waste sewage pipe how would that work? You’d only ever know that some people in a neighborhood are doing drugs, you wouldn’t know who or how much and you wouldn’t know who sold it only who consumed it.
Also a less than one hour old account posting rage bait is suspect as hell.
IMO this administration values psychological impact well over function.
Just making the claim probably accomplishes their goal. Whatever ridiculous half measure they think of to “follow through” is an afterthought
Correct. They know they don’t have the means, manpower, or will power to completely subjugate everyone, especially when only %30 of the population (max) actually agrees with what they are doing.
They are hoping that people will ‘self police’ and comply with whatever bullshit they come up with.
If everyone is breaking some law, everyone is insecure.
This rings more true to me than trying to make people self police. Just make them feel guilty, weak, targeted.
Rings even more true that they’re just pandering to their base
I fear they’re right
Detection is easy, you just have RFK Jr go around doing taste tests of the sewage for drugs
Fuck dude that made me laugh in the break room at work lol. Lightened up my day a bit too thank you.
You’re welcome for my service
Yeah but you can target enforcement efforts to entire communities with lots of drugs in their wastewater, offer federal grants / money to police departments to hire special officers for this task (I bet a religious school trains this special kind of officer). Many insidious ways to weaponize our sewage.
fucked up.
Get white van.
Go to rich neighborhood.
Wear hard hat and hi-vis vest, make fake name badge.
Tell them you’re from the toilet company and doing a toilet inspection. Will only be a moment, any toilet will do.
Flush a handful of cold pills and a poppy seed muffin.
Repeat.
Rich neighborhood has meth problem.
As if they don’t already have drug problems…
As if they’d actually bother checking the rich neighborhoods, those aren’t the people they want to go after
Hell, just find an accessible sewer cleanout and use that. No need to trick your way into a house.
It’s the same way that we monitor infection rates , it’s not individual it’s per region.
Region is far too broad for it. They can narrow it down to districts within cities. Your sentiment is still valid, that there’s a lot of people there so they can’t target individuals, or even streets. But they can use that data for increasing police presence. Any data given to fascists is dangerous.
I think it would be to narrow down which communities on which to focus more enforcement, but you’re 100% about OP feeling like a ragebait bot. What kind of sn is “solutions”?
