This is the real issue. If you “fall” to heroin it’s not economically viable to help you get up. The cost per success is in the millions of dollars and even success is a pretty degrading state of existence. It’s not like insurance people who fall never paid in, it happens too often for that or charity care. It’s just not possible to treat everyone

Singapore has been successful so clearly we’re doing it wrong and focusing on the wrong things.

By using as collateral you realized the gains because they became tangible and usable.

Germany takes it too far. Every industry is regulated and licensed. It takes 2 years to call yourself a baker. It’s not a good system.

If you have to regulate industries institute a proficiency test and allow different levels of expertise. A plumber or electrician for home repair is a totally different level of complexity to one in industrial applications but it’s the same certification. The guy doing wiring in my house just does not need that level of education and I don’t really want to pay for it.

Idk wtf architects optimize for. Some sort of truisms about what buyers want and builder cost I think because a lot of houses are designed really poorly.

No it’s not good. The lower the barrier to every the better. More ability to choose the level of quality work you desire. A handyman for bill gates is going to be a complete different class than one for the roach motel but it’s still good if the roach motel can get one.

I’m all for vegan food but if you do that it’s got to be vegan first, not over processed animal product imitations. Vegan patties are not healthy and barely ok, vegan cheese is one of the nastiest things I’ve ever eaten. But you can absolutely make a vegan soup, salad, pasta, bread, mushroom dish etc that is amazing, it’s just hard because all the ingredients need to shine.

Being able to cut out the dealer allows you to under cut your competitors by 2-5K. It’s extremely hard to compete with that. Other manufacturers need to take notice and follow suit.

Recently I had them fail to deliver a 10$ item, flag it in their system as a delivery failure notify me that the failure occurred and then still not give me a refund and tell me that they are doing me a favor by refund it. The service quality really Turing to poop. In December they basically done guarantee delivers either anymore so between that and the sea of counterfeits I only make 5-10$ item orders from them where the delivery costs more than the item.
