How can this ever work? Scan kids ID cards before letting them online? I can see a fake ID business booming. What about deep fakes that are a reality? You can create a fake ID easily with the right tools.

Einstein was an immigrant escaping Nazi Germany. Oppenheimer was the son of an immigrant. Where would we be if these two scientists had gone elsewhere? If immigrants are banned who will harvest the crops of farmers? Most Americans are not interested in farm work. Having worked on a farm the pay is low and the work back breaking. The Oakies of the 1930's are long gone.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. Marcus Tullius Cicero[a] 3 January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC)

“The right of dissent, or, if you prefer, the right to be wrong, is surely fundamental to the existence of a democratic society. That’s the right that went first in every nation that stumbled down the trail toward totalitarianism.” ― Edward R. Murrow

This is the biggest threat to civil liberty since Joseph McCarthy. “[He is] our modern Grand Inquisitor … a dangerous, clever and ruthless demagogue.” - Agnes Meyer “We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men – not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular” ― Edward R. Murrow

Dark skinned people have less good job paying opportunities than lighter skinned people due to discrimination.. As a result they go into athletics for opportunities. Athletics are performance based. Win a race and there is no easy way to be discriminated against. As a result there is a larger talent pool of dark skinned people in athletics. Thus more dark skinned successful athletes. Agree?

I can see a new forest of marijuana plants growing across the border in Myanmar and Cambodia. Adding to the methamphetamine problem. This just increases the drug problem for Thailand and adds a new problem for police.Also what happens to cbd and kratom? The medical community could be overwhelmed by requests for prescriptions. This is a bad decision by the puritanicals! They should just only allow indoor smoking in designated areas. No outdoor smoking.

So what does this mean for kratom? Or cbd? Or any of the cannabis compounds? What about psilocybin which has shown great promise for depression when other antidepressants have been inadequeate? Will this research continue? This is a bad step back for medicinal herbal compounds that have less side effects than traditional pharmaceuticals!
