Portugal versus USA
Return to top. There were around 112,100 US drug overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending August 31, 2023, at a rate of 307 deaths per day. 335 deaths per million US population. Only around 10 to 72 total deaths per year in Portugal, a country with universal healthcare, and where all drugs have been decriminalized since 2001. See timeline table of yearly overdose deaths by European country.

US is Broke, not Woke
Sleepy Americans can't do the math concerning healthcare costs. Canadians are richer and have more energy because Canadians don't have to take 3 jobs, go bankrupt, or sell their homes, due to medical and student debt. Student debt balance is forgiven after 15 years payment in Canada. See Wikipedia: List of countries by total health expenditure per caspita.

Health and Debt Ceiling
Share link: Debt ceiling. See: Wikipedia: US debt ceiling. US would save 1.5 trillion dollars per year (5.4% of GDP) if it instituted Canadian universal healthcare. Canada spent 11.2 percent of its GDP for total healthcare costs in 2022. US spent 16.6 percent in 2022. Canadians are healthier on average, and their preventive healthcare is much cheaper!

US Republican states;
Not just pot prohibition
Return to top. See Wikipedia: Republican states.
See article: US Republican states. It's not just cannabis prohibition. Many maps. It's also their low minimum wages, high Covid death rates, poor healthcare, high household debt, high gun death rates, high homicide rates, high incarceration rates, etc.. See: Drug war and other US Republican excessive uses of force. They are autocratic gerrymandered states that have long avoided federal oversight due to the Republican filibuster. See Wikipedia: Filibuster in the United States Senate.
The US Republican Party wants to concentrate wealth at the top. So they want most people to be Broke, not Woke: Trickle-down economics. See: Anti-cannabis conservative agenda. Keep 'em jailed, sick, stupid, oppressed, broke, and not woke.
The federal minimum wage would be $13.46 in 2022 dollars if its real value had remained at the 1968 level. Even more in 2023 dollars. See graph below.
Note the low minimum wages in the Republican south: |

Abolish Senate filibuster
Return to top. The War on cannabis. It accelerated in the US, and that's where it will end. US Congress could legalize, reschedule, or remove cannabis from the federal schedule if Republican filibuster were gone. Vote in US Senators who will abolish it. [6][7][8][9]. Senators Manchin or Sinema could abolish it now.
End the electoral college
Return to top. Abolish the electoral college. Imagine the US without the 12 years of the Bush and Trump presidencies and their backward cannabis policies. Abolish the Presidential veto too. Institute a mandatory retirement age for US Congress members and the President. [10]. Mandatory retirement exists for some judges.

Population and Warming
Return to top. World Population Clock: 8 Billion People (LIVE). All countries need low birth rates. The US and Europe can't import all the overpopulation of the world. Birth control and abortion (especially early abortion) is legal (even free) in many countries. That needs to expand further.
We need more trees and less people. More oxygen, less carbon dioxide. "Assuming no net migration and unchanged mortality, a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman ensures a broadly stable population." - Fertility rates. OECD Data. See country graphs. We need a declining population to stop and reverse global warming. Many US Republican leaders oppose birth control and abortion rights (even early abortion). Another reason besides their backward cannabis laws to vote them out.

See the July 8, 1947 Roswell Daily Record below. Image info. Click image to enlarge. Full-size is readable. See full text of saucer article. [44]. U.S. Army officer Walter Haut issued the initial "flying disc" press release. His 2002 notarized affidavit said there were 2 crash sites, and that he had seen a craft, alien bodies, and handled wreckage material. (see page 14 of pdf). It was released in a 2007 book after his death in 2005.
Affidavit is on pages 239-242 of the 2022 edition: Witness to Roswell, 75th Anniversary Edition: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-up (more eyewitnesses). 36 pages previewed in Google Books. Click "preview" button and scroll down to pages 239-240. Search within the book. There is an inexpensive Kindle ebook. Moonwalker Dr. Edgar Mitchell wrote the foreword. The 20 paragraph affidavit is online here: [45] (page 14). [46][47].
Haut's daughter, Julie Shuster, in 2002, 3 years before his death, "verbally discussed each and every sentence" of the affidavit with him. She said it was not a deathbed confession. See Sept 2007 MUFON UFO Journal. Issue 473. Page 15. And this article from Special Broadcasting Service. Archived. See Julie Shuster on IMDb.
