It's hard because even our best intentions can cause terrible harm.

Good point well made caller!! Ya, I can totally appreciate that, but the two that you highlight are excellent ones in my opinion and I would definitely get behind both, especially the not monetising the Prison system one. The drugs one is a little more complex though, as these multinational spend millions or in some cases billions on the R&D that goes into making a viable drug and often times there are failures that cost millions and lead to nothing in the end. I think countries should do their bit in that case though and subsidise the drug for their people. We are lucky that this happens in Ireland for lots of drugs and there is also a Drug Payment scheme where the max monthly payment is €80, although not every drug (particularly crazy expensive ones) are on it.

Thanks for the great engagement though, I'd vote you in @grindan!
