    When I take a break from weed, I notice two main things.

    1. Physically I’m worse. My joints ache. I don’t want to move. Sleep is difficult, especially at first.

    2. Mentally I feel way more clear. My thoughts come more quickly, and I feel like I can hold more information in my working memory. I remember old things better and store memories for the future better. I can feel the curtain of brain fog lift after a couple of sober days.

    Most of these positions do not require a college degree. They don’t need RN’s- a lot of these positions can be filled by high school kids. My wife and a lot of our friends in high school and college worked these jobs. My neighbor did in-home care for decades with no degree and recently chose to retire early because the pay wasn’t worth staying and she makes more money buying and selling antiques at conventions now.

    How many other qualified people have been forced out of the industry due to low wages?

    Your comments on Biden seem to indicate You’re either uninformed or purposefully spreading political misinformation. A quick internet search will tell you the Biden administration has forgiven $153 billion in student loans. It would be more if the Supreme Court hasn’t shut down his broader cancellation measures last year.

    Is he doing everything he can? Well I’ve seen tons of proposals for other measures to cap the tuition costs or change federal lending, but afaik just about everything would require a bill to be passed by Congress. This may shock you, but Biden can to vote in either the House of Representatives or the Senate so you need to find your own representatives, find their stances, and write to them about this (or anything else you care about).

    Unless you have some other proposal I haven’t heard of for executive action that could survive the supreme court?

    I would not recommend getting too attached to NSFW Reddit. They’re trying to have an IPO next year and clearly have a history of making decisions that affect their bottom line.

    Most advertisers don’t want to be associated with NSFW. Reddit is caught between their users, who clearly want it, and the $. The problem is that without the NSFW users, there’s a whole lot less people to advertise to.

    Maybe NSFW survives the IPO, but it seems to me like just a matter of time before control of the company falls to someone who removes it.

    It seems like a lot of your issues are specific to this instance. There are other NSFW instances you can try too. Honestly you’re probably best off using a few.
