Thats spooky i just got done watching the series by ken burns on prohibition, the fact is that prohibition was the trial run for the war on drugs, many things are similar. One is the politicians are getting paid to turn a blind eye while lining their pockets.

Not where I'd like to be
How much corruption there was in the past? Like it's better now? Ever heard of USAID?
It's my belief (and there's a pretty good book that seems to agree) that humans, by default, are corrupt, immoral beings. It takes some effort to begin to approach virtuousness, and most people don't have it in them.

Similar is happening with Global warming, clean energy, Electric vehicles, and on and on. USAID was the biggest scam on the citizens of the United States. USAID was used to line the pockets of the politically connected and to funnel money back to the very politicians that were giving them US tax dollars
