Agree for most but perhaps not all drugs. Might be worth restricting access to, say, fentanyl.

> **Aella (@Aella_Girl):** I ask a lot of questions but don't go into my beliefs too often. Here's a summary of my positions on some controversial things:
> \* worker's unions are probably bad
> \* body dysphoria is real and trans people should be able to transition as treatment
> \*stereotypes are based on truth

Why anti-union and minimum wage? My best guess is that they \*generally\* boost net and average human welfare. I would prefer UBI to minimum wage, but minimum wage in the amounts it is usually talked about is better than nothing

> **Aella (@Aella_Girl):** As I've mentioned elsewhere, my general philosophy is anything that minimizes the use of force is good. If two consenting, informed adults want to make an exchange of money for work, I think this should be allowed.

Alright, though I disagree because power and opportunity imbalances warrant the use of force by a third party. Unions can be formed voluntarily, too. Poverty and economic inequality can be just as coercive as the state.

It’s even worse. “Mission accomplished” is at least vague enough that it’s not trivially disprovable. Trump’s sign is just a flat-out lie.

But is it pronounced “qual-ay” or “kwayl”?
