How about drug testing all the politicians every week?
Fair's fair.

I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.

Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.

This makes me unreasonably upset. Farmers need to be drug tested AND breathalyzed. They also need to provide up to date household income information, including the gross income of anyone living on their property. They should also be required to provide last 3 to 5 employer references, verification they are working 40 hours per week or volunteering an equivalent amount at a state approved business, this all has to be done on an online site that requires desktop computer access. You can’t use Chrome or Firefox, only Microsoft Edge. If they don’t fill out the forms and attach the appropriately filled out paper documents properly, they will get a mailed statement letting them know they were denied and can re file after a 30 day waiting period. They can call to speak to their case manager, but there is only a phone tree that takes them to voicemail. If they miss the call back from the case manager, their file will be flagged as unresponsive and may require filling out all forms and paperwork again. They may also be denied because of typos, unfinished forms on the case manager side, or an unreasonable reading of acceptance rules.
This is not commentary on social services in America at all /s

Corn farmers should be tested every 90 days if they want a government handout.

People upvote this shit because they think they’re helping. Some sort of “activism” bullshit. They don’t seem to realize that their actions are having the opposite fucking effect. The presence of politics where it shouldn’t be is causing people to disengage. It causes apathy.

Let’s start with an IQ test before voting.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Dumb. There’s no universal measure of IQ; its all language and education dependent why not just require a college degree to vote and skip all the intermediate steps?
Really we should be paying people a bonus for completing educational goals instead of driving people in debt.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
There is no universal measure or INTELLIGENCE. IQ can absolutely be measured but the question is whether or not it’s representative of something we care about. The fact that you open with “dumb” them say something that is patently incorrect is insanely on the nose.
I agree, let’s give more voting power to people who are more likely to have made more considered choices and stop pretending like every vote is the same. Far and away most people are not so bright. In the same way that BMI is not a good measure of health, IQ is not a good measure of intelligence. On the borderline it means nothing, but a BMI of 200 is not good and neither is an IQ of 74 and I’m all for screening at that quality.
In the late 18th century US it made sense to make everyone equal and every vote equal (leaving aside slavery and gender inequality) because by and large access to information and education WAS equal. In the end of 2025, that is unfortunately just not true. People and opinions are striated and that is worth some consideration.

We already tried that. It didn’t have the best results. :/
