The downside is that you lose seigniorage (basically the "tax" the government gains from printing coin), so now the country gives that to the US and can only take money from debt and taxes
This is, of course, a different way to name the "lack of control" you mention
The idea of the language is that you describe what you want to say in order for yourself to understand what you mean by each word
The commenter thinks justice is good and about equality, do you? It's mostly a challenge in self-discovery, to know how you would describe different things with the limited dictionary
It's not really made to communicate, although it is of course possible
While I'm not an expert, it's probable some things directly cause addiction by modifying something in your brain, while others don't do it directly with the chemicals but by other means
The divide is probably clearer with non-drug addictions, like gambling. Gambling isn't some drug that modifies chemicals in your brain and makes you addicted, and yet some people are addicted to gambling.
It's possible some drugs function like gambling, where they don't actually modify chemicals in your brain to make you addicted, but you can get addicted anyways, psychologically
A right is not given to you by an authority. You are free to live your life, as long as you don't control/damage other people.
The State takes away your right to live your life and use your property, and empowers Corporations to make them richer at your cost. In the meantime, the State murders a lot of people.
Your rights must be enforced by yourself until free-market alternatives to the State are created
You actually wrote a huge wall of text without addressing anything in my comments, and even managed to insult the intelligence of me and every anarchist in existence in the process, cool
I actually have NEVER heard of someone being satisfied with the roads or strees in their city/county/
The problem is that the State doesn't work, it continually murders tons of people every year, it continually suppresses peoples rights every day, and it continually robs everyone of us of a better world.
The fact that you are currently privileged enough to not feel the oppression, or not understand as oppression and just accept it as a fact of life, is good for you, but it is incredibly abhorrent to just dismiss what I say by saying absolutely nothing
The existance of the State is an infringement on your rights, any good that comes out of it isn't really an argument. It's akin as saying that killing all poor people would eradicate poverty, so it is harmful in some ways but it has some benefits
Other actors would also be States, we the people should fight against all States, not just the current one
This way it's just a small thing to recognize someone who (hopefully) didn't get sick in any of the days thay had to work
