You're also wrong.

Ive been to the rich liberal types' parties. You know how some of them go? Like this:

You'll have a retreat to the den. The host will either send someone out to get "supplies" or they'll already have it. And they'll pull out a few eight-balls, and they'll put up a few hundreds around the room, and everyone will enjoy a few lines.

They'll then retreat to the in-house pool or hot tub, and enjoy.

I also had a friend who was a retired record exec, and it was routine that during lunchtime, they'd gather money to go down to the street and buy coke.

Just because they're rich, doesnt mean they don't do drugs. They likely do, just not on the streets. They do from their mansions.

(And its also the middle class who're scared shitless about drugs. My guess is because they don't have the money to hire a lawyer to keep a drug rap off.)

Wow, sure wish I was in that elite class. I aint. I was a guest.

> All the decriminalize crap is pushed by rich liberal types. They live in luxury apartments or out in the burbs.

And they're doing those same drugs they want decriminalized.

> Ask any poor or working class person. They don’t want this crap. Drugs ravage their communities. They have to deal with these problems.

Again, the drugs are the escape. Escape from what? Poverty.

Poverty is the actual thing ravaging communities. And in inner cities, it is definitely a zero-sum game, or likely negative-sum.

Rich people do drugs as an experience with friends. Its a whole different mindset than "i want to do drugs to escape the fact I dont have enough food and my tooth hurts and avoiding the gunshot sounds outside".

> Same thing with the defund the police and other non sense.

Again, rich liberal types usually don't worry about petty theft or simple vandalism. They dont see it, and so they want to defund it.

Ive had a unique life, where I'm now middle class, went through living on the streets in poverty, and been the guest to some of the rich liberal class. You can try to make fun of me for my experiences. Try to understand whats going on, and why. And the rich are being honest in what they ask, but not what they say.

And in all my experiences, poverty and extreme income disparity is the actual elephant in the room. Drugs? They don't cause near the problem.
