Spangly A posted:Heroin and cocaine are disproportionately more dangerous to people who cannot keep up a safe and consistent supply while also eating well and still taking personal medical care. Remove malnutrition-related illnesses and super-TB from the equation and heroin comes out a safer drug than cigarettes and alcohol. Opium is a little bit different from heroin.

Grouchio posted:What are the main imports and exports between the US and the Philippines? I'm trying to entertain the effectiveness of a massive embargo on the Philippines for as long as Duterte is in power, which is the economic version of Pope Francis deciding to Excommunicate the nation for the same reason. The US sends a lot of farm equipment/generic Ag stuff, PH is mostly service stuff. They'd probably be hurt a lot more than we would.

That would probably screw American companies the most, but they'd probably just move their operations to India. A lot of coding is done there too, I actually have a friend there who codes some popular software (SAP?).

Shooting Blanks posted:SAP is a German company, not American. Off topic, but I wouldn't worry about your sister and friend retaining employment unless things really go south. For my friend anyway they contract out with many companies at once. She was just reassigned to a popular (US) time keeping software that my company actually uses. It's a significant chunk if nothing else.
