The election is tomorrow, by the way.

And the Dem candidate ran hard on healthcare.

I wonder if Gianforte's freaking out or something.

"Police are involved"

So, the GOP candidate for the Montana special election assaulted a random dude literally the day before the election, apparently.

If your goal is just (and I'd argue ending a drug epidemic is just), then killing addicts is a logical solution.


Not really. The logic "if I kill all the drug users no one will use drugs" is a tautology.

Untrue. The theory would suppose that users would quit and dealers would go away if they knew they were risking execution.

I'm not defending the practice, but it's surely a less "evil" goal than the fucking Holocaust

Heroin users risk death from overdose all the time and they still do it. If they're in the mindset to continue using even when the next fix could be fatal, what the motherfuck difference does execution make? :P

I get that the goal is to prevent the users from exposing non-users and getting them addicted also. That's a goal that exists prevalently in any and every anti-drug policy..

but no heroin user would ever be like "well shit, I could be murdered for doing this stuff that could kill me at any point anyway and somehow being murdered for it is scarier than dying from overdose so while I never felt detered by the prospect of overdose, I'm now suddenly so scared of execution that I guess I should quit *shrug emoji*"

The way Nate Silver put it, that it was a reduction in healthcare spending, sounds very different (although I think the intention was the same as yours, and he misspoke). We should be reducing our healthcare spending, down to the level prevailing in other 1st world countries. And if we save money doing it, great!
