right, so we shouldn't add to that and paralyze hospitals to not be able to deal with those 2 million injuries.
again, almost every country in the world understood this logic and did a similar or holistic solution. not doing it would not be a holistic solution for the United States
Think about it, instead of shutting down the world economy and ruining hundreds of millions (perhaps billions) of people's lives, they could have put stronger regulations on cigarettes/nicotine (or make it outright illegal)
yeah if you actually believed banning cigarettes instead of shutting down the economy would have saved more lives instead of just saying that as an exaggerated literary device aka hyperbole then thats way worse
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt actually and it was the accurate word for it
I think shutting down the economy was a terrible decision that had little-to-no effect on the outcome of things so yeah I believe that. That being said, I think all drugs should be legal so I wouldn’t support banning nicotine even though it’d probably save a lot of lives
Also half of your comments got censored for some reason
