Yeah I feel the same, cautiously hopeful. It seems like the implementation always gets bogged down with corruption, red tape and fingerpointing in this city...

That is a pretty sad turnout. The votes reflect the choices of about 92K registered democrats, vs. roughly 13K registered rebublicans though, so it's not like this is some right wing takeover.

Measures supporting low income housing, more ethics laws for city officials, turning office space into residential space, and $6B for mental health care also passed in the election. Those definitely don't seem like things that the right would support.

This affordable housing measure also passed in the same election, for what it's worth.

I did Google it and I didn't find anything specific to Fentanyl, which is what kills in the majority of the ODs in San Francisco. That's why I wanted to ask here as there are people who seem to have more knowledge on the subject.

Yeah that does sound like a failure. But also different time different place. Was there a Fentanyl epidemic of this scale 10 years ago in Florida? If the treatment options save just one person's life, is it still a failure? Should we just say "yep nothing works, there's no solution to daily ODs on the streets of the city."?

Does that make it OK to use the welfare money for drugs?

Did Florida's system just cut them off when they found them using or did they offer them assistance options for getting clean? S.F.'s system plans to offer them assistance getting clean while they continue to receive the welfare.

Not disagreeing, just curious. How can they safely inject the kind of fentanyl that's out there now? When milligrams can kill you? What if they prefer to smoke it? Do the safe injection sites provide the drugs or do the users just bring their own stuff there and do it under supervision?

Same kind of dictator mentality I'd expect from Musk himself honestly. Doesn't fix the problem because he's insulted that someone else pointed it out. Cutting off his nose to spite his face. He's good at that. I'm really surprised the board still tolerates his shit.

Do the down votes indicate that this is a truly unpopular opinion? Shouldn't people upvote it for being truly unpopular since that is what is discussed here?

For the record, I think you'll have a lot more to worry about than cheap oil if Russia is allowed to continue on a warpath through Europe. But I still upvoted due to your opinion being unpopular.

Same. It says on his Wikipedia he quit drinking in 2018. I'm surprised he quit but glad for him.

Yeah, I wonder how he'd feel about walking it back further, to a time when black men also could not vote. Or maybe to a time when all blacks in this country were considered farm equipment. He sure likes to talk about how various groups of people should "know their place".

Possible trigger warning...

I read an article a few years ago about this happening in China. There were graphic photos from the ER which I won't discuss here, but If I remember correctly it was a teenager and he actually died because it ruptured an artery in his colon or something like that. Ever since then I've always been ok with spending a little more money for a quality chair. Especially if it's something you're going to use every day.

Porsche also stole many of the innovative design elements of their cars from a Czech auto manufacturer called Tatra, after the Nazis took over the factory.
