It took 8 years before my community college forced me to graduate doubling my tuition. I didn't know what I wanted to do so I did everything, but I paid for it all.
The first victims were users of the decongestant, Pseudoephedrine. In the 80s 100 pills cost $9.99. Then the limits kicked in and you could only get one box of 48 pills for $14.99. About 3 or 4 years ago you had to let then swipe your drivers license and sign for your one box. But to be fair, now you can get boxes of 96 pills. if they'er in stock, for $14.99. I had a right to breath now its a privelage I have to sigh for. Compliments of the DEA!!!!

Lee, whilst a gun was used to do good in this case, spruiking the US' relatively low hot burglaries is very misleading as it conveys to people that guns make some people safer. This is incorrect; it makes all people less safe and this is reflected in the higher rates of gun related crime, injuries and murders that blight the US. You need to observe issues on an aggregate level to assess their merit. You can find good stories in subsidies, but this doesn't make them any less harmful overall.
"This is incorrect; it makes all people less safe and this is reflected in the higher rates of gun related crime, injuries and murders..."
The overwhelming majority of law abiding firearm owners aren't involved in "gun related crime, injuries and murders." Your argument is "very misleading as it conveys to people that guns make ALL people LESS safe."
The rates of gun related injuries in the US are astronomical compared to other OECD countries (that's just a fact). Therefore, a country without guns is obviously safer statistically than a country which legalises them (especially to the degree the US does).
Just because the majority of people who possess guns aren't involved in injuries/crime doesn't mean that they are safer (that's specious reasoning). The problem is their pervasiveness and misuse (even by law abiding citizens).

@mr82769 1.Generally people who need money for legitimate reasons don't steal it. 2.You tend to make more working at McDonnald's than you do robbing people, or selling drugs, or committing other petty crimes, etc. This was proven in the early nineties. 3.

and 4. Leave if you don't like what you're watching.
@shkopos 1) Whats your point? "Dont let ppl steal money ´cause they probably use it for drugs"? Well duh. Ppl steal anyway. 2) Well... There must be benefits to stealing else ppl wouldnt do it. 3) Is it any worse destroying the life of an 88 year old than an 8 yeah old? 4) I will when I see fit to.
@mr82769 There are no benefits to stealing. It's dangerous, and you are more likely to get caught at it, than you are if you murder someone. People only steal because they are morons, or too lazy and entitled to try to get things on their own merits.
Your lack of logic skills, and use of proper English is disturbing.
@shkopos My English is fine but if you want to do it in German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian or Danish that no problem...
Your logic skills on the other hand - terrible. Bigger chance of getting caught than if you murder someone? Are you retarded? And oooooobviously there are benefits if you get away with theft. Very few have a good understanding of the risks.
Oh and if I am supposed to be all mean and stuff... Nice upload. 50 sec about you starting a vlog from.... 3 months ago. Nice.
@mr82769 So you're advocating theft as a way of life here? That's what you're doing? And yes, you have a much better chance of getting caught if you steal on a regular basis. You leave prints, or hair at one place, and they have a record of you. Then when you get caught doing something else, (and in most cases you do) you get more than one charge. Three felonies get you life. Whereas murder is usually a one time thing, and in over fifty percent of cases they get no viable suspect.
@shkopos Fool. Bet you never actually studied what the odds are of getting caught. But of course Im the one without logic. And logic isnt exactly one of your strengths little man...
Crack down on meth? Gotta' go to Mexico for that, because that's where that show is orchestrated.
As far as jailing tweakers and speed-whores, the Laws (at least in Texas) are already stretching credibility. They pulled some speed-whore over just down the block from me a couple nights ago. They found a glass pipe in her purse, half smoked.
They charged her with Manufacturing..? As I was told, the shit melts (changes state) when heated to smoke, then cools/re-solidifies. "Re-manufacturing"
Just because corruptocrats in gov't agencies abuse their power in pursuit of crime *prevention* is no reason to turn the country over to drug addicts and other scumbags.
Sorry, Lee, I have no patience for Ron Paul libertarians who want to cut off their noses to spite their faces. Instead of legalizing drug use, we should go further and provide massive amounts of the abuser's drug of choice.. all at once.
Oh, and concealed carry laws are unConstitutional.
@Hiraghm How exactly does "legalise drugs" lead to "free drugs for everyone!"? Libertarians want lots of things to be legal but are opposed to almost all subsidies; why would they take a different view when it comes to drugs?
@Hiraghm You might want to examine why drug cartels have power in the first place and why they most definitely support the current system, illegality and status quo. It is this system they love and that turns over the country to gangsters. There is enormous demand for drugs, and the market will supply them. Drugs are illegal yet are more available and arrive faster than calling a pizza for delivery. But at least this way the state gets no tax revenue and dealers are grouped with murderers.
@capslockbandit - I know why they do; because we didn't fight the "war on drugs" as a war. We toyed at it for a few decades, because nobody really wanted to win it. Major step in halting the drug cartels... SEAL THE BORDER. Not now, but 30 years ago. It's too late now.
Have serious penalties for peddling drugs, like... death. Funny, once there was enormous demand for tobacco, but not anymore. But, the media and gov't demonized tobacco like they won't demonize drugs.
2 things. The problem is with "crime prevention" rather than "crime punishment". You catch someone making meth, punish them.
And, I am tired of everyone treating higher education as a jobs-training program. That is NOT what a university education is for. The purpose of a major shouldn't be to get a job for crying out loud, but to gain knowledge in a specific subject.
If the gov't is going to subsidize education, they can't be allowed to pick and choose the course of study.
No irony that you mention a firearms story along with a story about the government closing down a perfectly legal business because what they were selling COULD be misused, the exact same impetus behind most firearms legislation!
I majored in a class where I was told there were good job oppurtunities, but I was too lazy to actually check the career prospects myself until after I graduated, and now I'm doing another private uni that is only directed focus on job and no irrelevant theory except necessary for the job. If you are doing a liberal arts degree, stop and apply for jobs now to check if you can with your future education. Dont be a lazy moron like I was.
@killerbee2k Similar thing happened to me. I was headed for a BA in English, promised by my employer that as soon as I got it they'd promote me. Didn't happen. I got screwed. Turns out-years later-the experience I got on the job was infinitely more valuable than the degree.
I hear water is used in the function of bongs and in the production of many drugs. Expect the DEA to outlaw water soon, confiscating rivers and lakes.
The sad thing about this crap is that, while iodine is completely regulated, KI (potassium iodide) has no regulations on it, you can literally order Kilos of it straight to your house without a blink from the DEA.
It takes literally 3 minutes and 2 household chemicals to convert KI to elemental iodine.
The powers that be don't give a shit about actually stopping the problem, they just want more and more government power.
The government is nothing but force against the people. They are created to stop competition from the to big to fails. Competition is a sin for these rich losers nothing more. Who do the government support the to big to fail not the people. The gap between the poor and the rich is higher than ever. In China bankers that commit fraud gets execution, the chinese get it we don't. When we stop listening to the presstitute media and start thinking for ourselves then we can put an end to this madness.
Ron Paul faggots can you all please leave? The man's social policies are absolutely insane. "The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders' political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs."
@IncoherentCommenter As a Dr.Paul supporter I can easily say. We will consider leaving after a video is posted of you shooting yourself in the head! Why don't you act like an American instead of a Commie Pinko! Since you hate Freedom, Liberty and the right for man to rule himself. Maybe you should be the one that goes.
@IncoherentCommenter Well, he's right. Either way, he's not trying to enforce a religious state and he spouts off significantly less religious nonsense than his republican counterparts.
Thanks for the news...even if its a hard pill to swallow. And thanks for your source of news cause any person knows that the mainstream would never cover half this crap and is full of it too.
I have a degree in Mass Communications for advertising. I am currently employed as an Unlimited Commercial Fire Alarm Technician. Why because I live in Oklahoma and there's not a big demand for Advertising Executives. BTW Been a Fire Alarm Tech for almost 20 years.
Yet another reason why the federal government should NOT be involved in any program that is personally consumed. Ah yeah maybe they should shut down anyone who sells "fire making equipment" too , since they need that to cook it don't they? unreal..
They arrested him because his age is anti-semetic. Soon, all of us goyum will be given mandatory euthenization at the age of 87 so that we may never claim to innocently display "hate numbers"
I had a feeling after watching this vlog that I used the water purifying product you mentioned. Sure enough, Polar Pure is the product. The drug war needs to end. When honest, useful products are removed from the market by draconian laws, it's failed policy. So sorry for the entrepreneur who created this fine product and was unfairly targeted by a government out of control.
I think you libertarians are approaching the same problem from another angle, which is totally fine. Another angle to the college bubble is that higher education is truly not a free market because people get loans to pay tuition. Does a student who takes out loans really understand the value of the dollars they are spending when they don't work for those dollars ahead of time? Ron Paul had it right in that debate; pay for college like you would a computer. Students then set the price!!!
@MrConservative608 Loans are a normal function of the free market, however the student loans and grants from the federal government are not. Government-subsidized student loans increase the college tuition.
@OddRobb Just because loans are made by private institutions does not mean that the free market is not distorted. Think about health insurance. Other than Medicaid, Medicare or the VA, the government does not subsidize anything in the private health insurance market. Because the customers of health care are not paying for it directly out of pocket, that distorts the health care industry does it not? Because the customers don't care how much a doctor's visit costs.
@MrConservative608 Yes, I know that. The government affects the health care system in much different ways than just medicare and medicaid. In a free-market, purchasing health insurance shouldn't be much different from finding car insurance, where you can pick and choose your own insurance and take it with you from car to car. Our complicated tax code has given us a system where only our employers or the government can afford to pay for health care, and that is a major distortion.
Yes, It goes back to Mengerian economics: By not realizing costs in the absence of these subsidies, students don't place as much importance on each unit of education. Because of the subsidies, the students squander the education that would, otherwise, have much more value to them because they would be using it for educating themselves in fields that can provide employment. End subsidies = more value in education = lower tuition = more employment. However, there may be a educational bust.
@Goodatconnect4 Yes we should end all subsidies. I totally agree with that. However I believe this whole debt culture of buy now, pay later distorts free markets as well.
"However I believe this whole debt culture of buy now, pay later distorts free markets as well."
If the government coerces such agreements, then yes that's the case: price distortion that would not exist on the free market. If it is economic actors making such contracts, then it necessarily reflects free market prices. Credit is a very important part of the economy, especially with higher order production.
@Goodatconnect4 Wrong. Going into debt to buy a house is the only time when buy now pay later makes sense. Credit is not important for any other sector of the economy because cash is accepted everywhere. I still contend that credit distorts a market for one simple reason that cannot be found on any balance sheet. Success should only come before work in the dictionary because I believe spending dollars before their earned can result in people losing respect for the value of those dollars.
Credit is absolutely important for entrepreneurs, businesses and producers to obtain the wherewithal to create and establish capital to provide the consumers with goods. Credit is VITAL to a healthy economy and is voluntarily transacted, as it is with any other, more simple, transaction such as dollars for a burger. The reason we have business cycles? The reasons for this fiasco and the Great Depression, to name just two examples? Credit manipulation.
@Goodatconnect4 Credit is not important for businesses to establish capital. That is a myth. Smart ideas like the personal computer (i.e. Apple) started with investment backers from Intel, not loans! Credit is NOT VITAL to a healthy economy. That is another myth. Wealth can be created without debt.
Yes, credit is voluntarily transacted and should not be eliminated by any government. I am saying that our culture of how we view credit has to change.
Go out and create a low cost and highly productive chain of the newest product out of your income and savings from this year- no private investment (credit) is allowed, too; Your personal savings and income, only. Government MANIPULATION of credit -through low interest rates, regulation, mandatory reserves held by banks, moral hazard- is what led to the current disaster; strictly NOT market credit. re Ramsey: I'm not arguing for greater consumer debt- a non-sequiter Keynesian view I reject.
@Goodatconnect4 I agree that government manipulation is bad in anything. However, I believe smart businesses seek investors, not loans. I already told you about Apple which was created without taking out loans but by an investment by a guy at Intel. What you do if you don't want loans is you pitch to everyone until you get an answer of "Yes" even with 100,000 doors slammed in your face. That is how to start a company debt free. That is why we don't need credit for business capital.
I never once said loans. Loans, as you mention them, as well as investment are in reality the same thing and form the basis of credit. Investment = credit. I'm afraid I don't know how to articulate a more direct relation. If someone invests in my company, I have to offer them a part of the profits, ergo Stock markets and the flourishing of all major producers including, and especially, Apple.
@MrConservative608 The cost of tuition has also skyrocketed because the govt. subsidizes those loans. When my parents went to college, tuition was maybe $4000 a year and you might not even need a loan. The govt. passed a cacophony of laws meant to "help" financially destitute people get to college, and now you leave college financially destitute.
@smiledammit24 I think students should start by going to colleges they can afford. The technical college I went to charges about $100.00 per credit. If a student worked full-time in the summer / part-time rest of the year & lived at home, I don't think that technical college would brake that student. If that student wanted to go on to get a 4 yr degree use the 2 yr degree to get a better paying job. Expensive schools would price themselves out of existence if the student couldn't pay.
@MrConservative608 That would make sense. Unfortunately in our culture the older, private (ie more expensive) institutions have a reputation. Recent high school graduates don't seem to understand you can get the same education at a SUNY school as an Ivy League school. Employers don't seem to understand either that going to an expensive school doesn't make you any more competent. We are collectively fooling ourselves into thinking a more expensive education is better.
So the DEA can shut down anything that a meth head can produce meth from?
I'm not a drug expert, but last I checked a chemist could make illegal drugs out of almost anything. So how come (or maybe the better question is when) will they be barring all these other products.
I know a bunch of people from school who dropped out of engineering because they couldn't see themselves sitting in an office as a career, telling me anything is possible because education has no price. When I asked them why unemployment is so high among college grads and tuition alone is freeggin 27,000 in-state,
I swear, some of my friends blamed it on corporate greed and the chancellor's salary being too high..
People understand how cigarettes and alcohol work. Those products can be abused to the point of death. Yet these are LEGAL. Almost all drugs can be abused and misused. Yet some of the deadliest are the ones that are legal. Only in America....
I actually read that story about the old man and his iodine business, and this video shows once again how misinformed right-wingers like you are. You didn't even tell the whole story. The reason his business was shut down was because he refused to take any measures to ensure his product wasn't being used for illicit purposes. The DEA tried to work with him, but he refused. But you just go "boo-hoo...an innocent man's small business was shut down!!!" without even knowing the damn facts!
@dmarshm0f0 Typical liberal stupidity. Instead of going after the actual criminals let's instead go after innocent business owners. Are you fucking kidding me? The fact is that so long as the product made is legal the business owner should not be required to take on onerous and ridiculous to make sure his product is not used for the incorrect reason. It's like demanding that auto manufacturers install breathalyzers to ensure their vehicles are not operated while under the influence.
@dmarshm0f0 "The reason his business was shut down was because he refused to take any measures to ensure his product wasn't being used for illicit purposes" Quick, shut down Zip-lok. They aren't taking precautions to keep druggies from using their product for drugs...
Oh no, arrest the people at the electic company. their product is used for drugs and they did nothing to ensure it wasn't.
@karozans You guys are really lucky. Im jealous for sure. Maybe ill get an Arizona CCW anyway if I end up going to ASU that way if that federal bill passes that recognizes out of state ccw ill be able to carry here in commiefornia.
@SuperSneakySteve Not really. Just because someone comes to the same conclusions about a particular issue (legalizing drugs) does not mean they understand the issues surrounding it. Libertarians do not think externalities are anything but a minor nuicance, when in actuality they are becoming more and more significant as the planet becomes more and more crowded and exhausts it resources.
Why does the DEA bother with some poor old guys business. They are already regulating pseudoephedrine and a meth head could go out and do a Birch Reduction much more easily than he could scraping red phosphorous off matchbooks. Besides, there are probably a dozen ways any synthetic chemist could think up to make amphetamines, are we going to regulate those products too or do we go back to punishing the way people use the products rather than regulating them wholesale.
sounds crazy, but in fact DISlikes are counted quite as much as likes for bringing in more viewers --"an event is an event". Even flame wars are good, it's so weird.
I wonder if the DEA has closed down all the feed and farm stores that sell buckets of iodine to care for the hooves of animals... ridiculous! Where are all these "tweakers" getting their ephedrine from? Not from the drug stores... next they'll outlaw matches and road flares because they contain red phosphorus, the magical third ingredient. Meanwhile the big boys are using the Nazi method or P2P... I better shut up now before they arrest me just for KNOWING this stuff....(I was a drug counselor).
other countries some how find a away to have free school plus they pay you to study in america we can even fucking make school affordable how is the great country? doesnt evne seem good
Going after innocent, easy targets is the new "law enforcement" in this country. Smoking bans in Michigan do the same thing. Bar and restaurant owners and managers are supposed to "enforce" the ban.
The DEA didn't shut him down because of his iodine crystals, they shut him down because he refused to take any measures to ensure his product wasn't being used for illicit purposes. The DEA tried to work with him, but he refused. Whatever you think about drugs, drug laws, or law enforcement in general, you should at least tell the whole story so people can have informed opinions. But that's not what you're going for here, is it?
Hey, I think it's unfair to lump "underwater basket weaving" in with the worthless majors. At least you can actually sell the baskets you make for money. What does a major in "gender studies" allow you to sell? Nothing.
By the DEA's Logic in shutting down the old man's business purifying water they should be banned because they help the Drug dealers make money off pushing their own product. Hey, not a bad idea. They are more trouble & cause more trouble than they could ever be worth.
I'm with the tea party, and they should be down with eliminating laws that give the government to much power, because they don't use it for us, they use it against us and for whatever pays them, like favoring corrupt corp crooks.
I have a 9 mm and a 12 guage and I'm not afraid to use it. In Houston, TX where I lived we had a rash of home invasion a few years back. Several of the invaders were shot and killed by the homeowner. Lets not forget the Joe Horn case. Since these stories made the news there has not been much of any in some time. I would never live in a state where I could go to jail for protecting my home.

@mr82769 So you're advocating theft as a way of life here? That's what you're doing? And yes, you have a much better chance of getting caught if you steal on a regular basis. You leave prints, or hair at one place, and they have a record of you. Then when you get caught doing something else, (and in most cases you do) you get more than one charge. Three felonies get you life. Whereas murder is usually a one time thing, and in over fifty percent of cases they get no viable suspect.

@Hiraghm How exactly does "legalise drugs" lead to "free drugs for everyone!"? Libertarians want lots of things to be legal but are opposed to almost all subsidies; why would they take a different view when it comes to drugs?
bluecode320 3 months ago
@Hiraghm You might want to examine why drug cartels have power in the first place and why they most definitely support the current system, illegality and status quo. It is this system they love and that turns over the country to gangsters. There is enormous demand for drugs, and the market will supply them. Drugs are illegal yet are more available and arrive faster than calling a pizza for delivery. But at least this way the state gets no tax revenue and dealers are grouped with murderers.

2 things. The problem is with "crime prevention" rather than "crime punishment". You catch someone making meth, punish them.
And, I am tired of everyone treating higher education as a jobs-training program. That is NOT what a university education is for. The purpose of a major shouldn't be to get a job for crying out loud, but to gain knowledge in a specific subject.
If the gov't is going to subsidize education, they can't be allowed to pick and choose the course of study.

I think you libertarians are approaching the same problem from another angle, which is totally fine. Another angle to the college bubble is that higher education is truly not a free market because people get loans to pay tuition. Does a student who takes out loans really understand the value of the dollars they are spending when they don't work for those dollars ahead of time? Ron Paul had it right in that debate; pay for college like you would a computer. Students then set the price!!!
MrConservative608 3 months ago 17
@MrConservative608 Loans are a normal function of the free market, however the student loans and grants from the federal government are not. Government-subsidized student loans increase the college tuition.
OddRobb 3 months ago
@OddRobb Just because loans are made by private institutions does not mean that the free market is not distorted. Think about health insurance. Other than Medicaid, Medicare or the VA, the government does not subsidize anything in the private health insurance market. Because the customers of health care are not paying for it directly out of pocket, that distorts the health care industry does it not? Because the customers don't care how much a doctor's visit costs.
MrConservative608 3 months ago
@MrConservative608 Yes, I know that. The government affects the health care system in much different ways than just medicare and medicaid. In a free-market, purchasing health insurance shouldn't be much different from finding car insurance, where you can pick and choose your own insurance and take it with you from car to car. Our complicated tax code has given us a system where only our employers or the government can afford to pay for health care, and that is a major distortion.

Xasew 3 months ago
Yes, It goes back to Mengerian economics: By not realizing costs in the absence of these subsidies, students don't place as much importance on each unit of education. Because of the subsidies, the students squander the education that would, otherwise, have much more value to them because they would be using it for educating themselves in fields that can provide employment. End subsidies = more value in education = lower tuition = more employment. However, there may be a educational bust.
Goodatconnect4 3 months ago
@Goodatconnect4 Yes we should end all subsidies. I totally agree with that. However I believe this whole debt culture of buy now, pay later distorts free markets as well.
MrConservative608 3 months ago
"However I believe this whole debt culture of buy now, pay later distorts free markets as well."
If the government coerces such agreements, then yes that's the case: price distortion that would not exist on the free market. If it is economic actors making such contracts, then it necessarily reflects free market prices. Credit is a very important part of the economy, especially with higher order production.
Goodatconnect4 3 months ago
@Goodatconnect4 Wrong. Going into debt to buy a house is the only time when buy now pay later makes sense. Credit is not important for any other sector of the economy because cash is accepted everywhere. I still contend that credit distorts a market for one simple reason that cannot be found on any balance sheet. Success should only come before work in the dictionary because I believe spending dollars before their earned can result in people losing respect for the value of those dollars.
MrConservative608 3 months ago
Credit is absolutely important for entrepreneurs, businesses and producers to obtain the wherewithal to create and establish capital to provide the consumers with goods. Credit is VITAL to a healthy economy and is voluntarily transacted, as it is with any other, more simple, transaction such as dollars for a burger. The reason we have business cycles? The reasons for this fiasco and the Great Depression, to name just two examples? Credit manipulation.
Goodatconnect4 3 months ago
@Goodatconnect4 Credit is not important for businesses to establish capital. That is a myth. Smart ideas like the personal computer (i.e. Apple) started with investment backers from Intel, not loans! Credit is NOT VITAL to a healthy economy. That is another myth. Wealth can be created without debt.
Yes, credit is voluntarily transacted and should not be eliminated by any government. I am saying that our culture of how we view credit has to change.

Goodatconnect4 3 months ago
@Goodatconnect4 I agree that government manipulation is bad in anything. However, I believe smart businesses seek investors, not loans. I already told you about Apple which was created without taking out loans but by an investment by a guy at Intel. What you do if you don't want loans is you pitch to everyone until you get an answer of "Yes" even with 100,000 doors slammed in your face. That is how to start a company debt free. That is why we don't need credit for business capital.
MrConservative608 3 months ago
I never once said loans. Loans, as you mention them, as well as investment are in reality the same thing and form the basis of credit. Investment = credit.

@MrConservative608 The cost of tuition has also skyrocketed because the govt. subsidizes those loans.

The govt. passed a cacophony of laws meant to "help" financially destitute people get to college, and now you leave college financially destitute.

@smiledammit24 I think students should start by going to colleges they can afford. The technical college I went to charges about $100.00 per credit. If a student worked full-time in the summer / part-time rest of the year & lived at home, I don't think that technical college would brake that student. If that student wanted to go on to get a 4 yr degree use the 2 yr degree to get a better paying job. Expensive schools would price themselves out of existence if the student couldn't pay.
