Have you ever thought that most of the drivers these days are on antidepressants. I bet this is going to be another exceptional year for big pharma,at least in CA. Disclaimer: I understand some have a legitimate need, but it seems excessive. Maybe it’s just edibles, still scary and annoying.

Different people have differing thought processes.
This morning, I heard an interview with a woman who stated (paraphrasing) "I voted for Trump in 2016, and my 401k did well when he was in office, not so much under Biden, but we really need a President with better character."
If you have ever studied economics, then you know about the Rationality Assumption.
If you have ever met people, then you understand why economists are often baffled by how they actually behave in the real world.

It's like the silence you hear from feminists when a trans athlete destroys an actual female. It's a whole party of weaklings, whiners and liars who couldn't survive without a government handout. It's either that, or the collective psychosis that RFK jr. describes. There are so many examples, I gotta think that they're just weak human beings.
A good majority of the "good guy" Democrats truly believe (because it's been repeated by their peers so frequently) that most black and brown people are unable (read: too stupid) to get an ID. Citing lack of access to the internet helps them rationalize this, even though it's 2024 and everyone carries a ******* computer in their pocket these days.
It's wild.
