not to defend him, but I thought California’s ballot props were more capable than most states. In many states, a ballot prop might not even get you legal weed, never mind state constitution changes

it’s great, at first I thought these “leaks” were to try to intimidate people in the groups, but the constant demands to know “who’s paying for all this?!” makes me feel like they’re genuinely clueless.

or like on Riley said on Trashfuture this week: “They're Democrats, they're like the Bene Gesserit.
Our plans are measured in centuries. Also like the Bene Gesserit, none of the plans work.”

English doctors charge high fees, and working-men are not in a position to pay them.  They can therefore do nothing, or are compelled to call in cheap charlatans, and use quack remedies, which do more harm than good.  An immense number of such quacks thrive in every English town, securing their clientèle among the poor by means of advertisements, posters, and other such devices.  Besides these, vast quantities of patent medicines are sold, for all conceivable ailments: Morrison’s Pills, Parr’s Life Pills, Dr. Mainwaring’s Pills, and a thousand other pills, essences, and balsams, all of which have the property of curing all the ills that flesh is heir to.  These medicines rarely contain actually injurious substances, but, when taken freely and often, they affect the system prejudicially; and as the unwary purchasers are always recommended to take as much as possible, it is not to be wondered at that they swallow them wholesale whether wanted or not.

There's an interesting dynamic to me where woo ends up being both a high-class and low-class phenomenon.

Low-class because they do not have access to medicine, high-class because they are convinced there must be something more than the normal medicine given to the middle-class
