  • I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker for the government employees running the hiring process. Trust me, I know some UK civil servants and after the initial drugs test, most of them were very happy to resume their various indulgences.

    The trouble is that you can’t be seen to employ someone to work for the federal government when they are technically committing a federal felony.

    I reckon the vast majority from the lower level employees to the higher ups would LOVE to have weed, LSD, and other recreational drugs at least de-scheduled if not legalised, regulated, and taxed.

    It’s politically difficult, especially in a country as socially right-wing as the US (on average, I’m aware attitudes vary from state to state).








  • Climate action doesn’t work unless enough of the most polluting countries act to kurb emissions.

    As it turns out, the most developed countries are the largest polluters.

    It also turns out that the most developed countries also have the most influence in geopolitics.

    Why are you framing the UK like it’s in a vacuum?

    If the UK does go fully renewable and carbon neutral or even carbon negative, that does have an impact because it will make the UK a leader in sustainability. That’s a lot of expertise in the whole range of PESTEL (Political, Economical, Social, Technological, Evironmental, and Legal) market forces across many industries that will be exported to other countries.

    Ditch the Doomerism. When push comes to shove, humans will move heaven and earth to survive and reduce suffering. So start pushing and shoving those with the capital and political connections into making the better choices.

    The future is built not gifted.
