The uk and Australia are islands so it’s much easier to interdict illegal items. Even there drugs are rampant. You don’t think with the huge borders of Mexico and Canada that illegal guns will still be easily transported? And what about the legal guns here, are you planning to confiscate them and turn millions of law abiding citizens today into felons tomorrow? Your idea is utopian and doesn’t take into account hard realities.

Hi there! I just left UCONN after getting my PhD and I can tell you 1,400$ for rent is definitely doable but you might not get a good place, but if you live further away, lets say Ashford, Vernon etc you might get something decent for 1,400$. Car is absolute necessity at UCONN, you can survive without one but your life won’t be fun! And welcome to UCONN!!!

Salvage cars till need to be towed (all 4 wheels on a trailer) and they fully inspect the car. Can’t remember if you need a parts list and before and after pictures of repairs as well, I know some states require that. Then if and when it passes you can get a rebuilt title. Unless you can snag it super cheap or some form of track car I wouldn’t bother.

Stereotypes are widely used oversimplifications. It is not a simplification if I accurately write about something I experienced. So I am sharing MY experience. Some minor points were generalized to obscure my identity.

I'm not against it really. I just fear addiction. My family is a great example of what the wrong meds can do. In the past I was put on Ritalin and that was a horrible experience starting in the third grade. I didn't need it. I was an A student. I just doodled a lot and seemed like I wasn't paying attention. It was suggested by my teacher. I'm 40 now btw. Knowing what I know now, that shit was like ecstasy and cocaine. My grades dropped, the prescription went higher. Repeat a few years of this until I started to get good at fake taking the pill. Grades got better and I told my mom I wasn't taking the meds and haven't for a year. She luckily got me off them. So, that's where I stand on them. I know I can do it without them. I've dealt with worse shit my whole life. It's just currently gotten hard to handle on my own and I don't know if I'm the issue or the toxic roommates I have are.

Edit:: I gave an updoot because I hear your words and don't see them as bad.
