Unless you have a gas chromatography device embedded in everyone's waste sewage pipe how would that work? You'd only ever know that some people in a neighborhood are doing drugs, you wouldn't know who or how much and you wouldn't know who sold it only who consumed it.

Also a less than one hour old account posting rage bait is suspect as hell.

Interesting considering many rural / red areas of the country are also more likely to be on a septic system and therefore can't have their sewage monitored.

If only the government took this energy and used it against pedophiles like trump

I feel like this would be illegal in Washington state. We already ruled in our supreme courts that our waste, including what is in our trash cans, is considered private. I guess we get to sue Trump, again, if this happens

And, of course,

The administration also aims to apply artificial intelligence technologies to screen cargo for illicit drugs at ports of entry, examine electronic health records to "identify patients at high risk of overdose" and create search algorithms to detect emerging threats, the plan says.

...I'm fairly certain monitoring waste waters to determine the rate of drug use is a common and widely used procedure. Like, it is happening and it has been happening for a while now.

why don't they build their little drug free paradise far away and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.

it ends up being red states

sip

What a colossal waste of money

Jokes on them. I have a septic system.

They are going to ignore the fact drugs are in every neighborhood. No need to add to that sentence. They will though, pretend this is the the proof to move nIce into a poor democrat majority neighborhoods.

Edit: "poor" may be an unnecessary adjective as well.

um like where are the sensors. so they know drug use in city increased? so?

What are LEOs in this context? All I got is Low Earth Orbit

This sounds like something they would do in Saudi.

They're going to be selective in their sampling. They're not going to sample rich white neighborhoods.

I’m gonna go ahead and be completely alarmist and say that it’s so RFK Jr. has an excuse to throw people into his “wellness” farms.

And they're going to use palantir to do it the same way that palantir got it's claws further into government by tracking covid wastewater

The Article does not match the post title.

I’m sure it will be concentrated wherever Don jr, kegsbreth and Patel live

So no stop to criminalizing a biological driven behavior of addiction, sad. Also, no protecting those who supply the demand despite allowing multitudes of other regulated harmful industries.

This pushes marginalized people to become the middle men AKA drug dealers so they can be in turn locked up for engaging in capitalism. It is a system designed to draw repressed minorities in and further take advantage of them and often destroy them in the process.

The War on Minorities will continue and everyone who is poor or downtrodden will not get the help they deserve and will instead be abused for daring to exist in an environment designed to cause their misery.

Get to work everyone! Let’s see who can top the leaderboard!
