Obviously, Sherlock. The govt with the Fed are (or should be, if things don't spiral out of control) the economic governors. You can't talk about either one in isolation because they are symbiotic, not mythologically-utopian, hermetically-closed model boxes that can exist without the other.
The Fed will be pressured to reduce interest rates because corporations are playing Russian roulette too-big-to-fail brinksmanship and will expect a bailout as per usual.. an action the majority undertake will always be excused in a democracy because of political pressure.
According to the chicken-littles, the Fed can't raise interest rates or supposedly the bond market will collapse and then supposedly the stock market will tank because corporations have over-extended themselves based on complacency about cheap money/QE making non-capital asset investments rather than capital investment business expansion.

You're mistaken. Prohibition has always failed. 18th/21st amendments and Portugal decriminalization. It's not to say hard drugs are great, but criminalizing them creates more violence and crime in order to access them.
Legalization solves several bigger problems:
- MIC/PIC over-criminalization for profit
- barriers to treatment
- higher prices plus criminal enterprises lead to violent crime, i.e., Mexico right now, and greater property crime of users to support habits
Solving economic, social issues is beyond the scope of drug policy but giving people hope, purpose, mission and security reduces usage. Having a functional community, society are preconditions to deterring substance abuse... whereas failed states and under/unemployment promote it.
No amount of self-righteous crusaders will change human behavior, but they can certainly make it worse with naïve policies.
McKinsey/MBB, Zerodium, Palantir, KPMG/Big4, offshore magic circle, etc. are enablers of inverted totalitarian plutocrats to attack their enemies and defend their power. Does this really come as a shock or a surprise?
If you're designing something that needs to be high-quality, safe, well-documented and is difficult to change later on, say an elevator, waterfall is a good model to consider. For a webapp startup, hell no.
If you read the PDF spec from the late 90's, it is Stephen King novel-scary... container format, multiple encodings, encryption, embedded binaries, embedded JavaScript and more.
I saw these fake emergency rooms all over Texas in strip-malls. They shouldn't be allowed because they don't have the staff or resources to provide adequate care and delay life-saving interventional medicine.
