It is kind of a personal detail of my life, But a few years ago my Mother was living in a homeless shelter. I bought her a van so she could get away from the other homeless people. What ended up happening is that she had a guy from the shelter who gave her a bunch of crack and beat her up and forced her to sign the van over to him.

It takes a family to solve the problems people have. Money will not buy emotional resolution, Money will not buy you a different life. It will help you move forward with your ambitions but it will not solve your problems for you. The hard work that people want to avoid in life often is the thing that leads to them being happy, Rich or poor.

Drugs are just a condition of an underlying problem.

I also studied brain chemistry and people can very easily get their minds out of whack when they get upset and turn to substance abuse to make themselves feel better. Education is the solution to this problem. It sounds so cliché but eating well and getting some exercise is the best way to feel good. If you don’t feel good drugs will not be something enjoyable. Drugs should be used to enhance your experiences, And if you have a bad experience, It will be an enhanced bad experience. In the right context when you are happy and healthy substances can be really positive. But the idea is that society needs to be there for everyone to have a good time.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I mostly agree with you. And it is cliche... But some people actually just walk away. It's rare. Most have to hit rock bottom or have some rude awakening.

When it comes down to it, it feels like moping the ocean. People don't want to invest in something that's not a guarantee. They don't want to feel like they're wasting their money and just chucking it out into a black hole... (A lost cause) I think society has been numbed to a lot of things and they would rather not waste their emotions and energy. The only way to fix it starts with making people care.

Just absurd to think about a military budget of 85 trillion, But people can’t afford to pay rent in a studio apartment. America bad yo.

That's an entirely different thing. Some people don't want war or the need for a military and some people understand why it's necessary. Of course people in the military would love an unlimited budget... Oh what a magical world it would be.

America has a lot of problems yo.

Yea nuclear bombs are a pretty compelling reason to print money. I think I am in both camps here. Eventually bitcoin will create a financially prohibitive cost vector making kinetic war obsolete.

What if it has the opposite effect

I think nuclear holocaust has a pretty fast way of sorting itself out. Have you heard of kinetic hypersonic missiles? At that point having nuclear warheads is more of a liability because you have a space capable bunker buster that can destroy the missiles in the host country. Digital warfare on a cost basis is better for global business.
