Welp, better that than killing someone else driving while blackout drunk. I have a real hard time feeling sorry for a rich person who had plenty of other options than driving (to be clear, everyone has at least one other option than driving drunk, but she had plenty of them) who died from their own shitty choices.
Wasn’t she driving on her private property, as in this big ass piece of land from one house she had on it to another, and backed into her own lake? I mean yeah, her life has not been the most altruistic, so the hate towards her is understandable, but at least there was no danger of her injuring unknowing bystanders.
To be honest, I’m not happy she died. Her fortune goes into inheritance to someone else, so the world is not a better place, other than that, I don’t feel like cheering the death of anyone, even a career criminal.
I’m not cheering it, I just don’t feel particularly bad about it. She made a bad, really stupid choice when she absolutely didn’t need to drive anywhere, and it’s just fortunate that no one else was hurt.
It’ll probably trigger more inheritance taxes with an unexpected death.
Not just drunk, 3x the limit drunk.

Yeah. Suddenly it simply became karma.
Best take.
Being reported as “not politics” but since her death was one of Mitch McConnell’s cited reasons for stepping down as minority leader, I’ll allow it.
Way to go, you fucking dummy lush.
Meanwhile, I gotta sign up with a doctor, pay off the state, go through security doors, all to get a still-not-socially-acceptable marijuana. Man, what’s the track record with weed…well, I haven’t driven into any ponds! Some people can’t handle their shit. Bye 👋
You also shouldn’t drive while high though.

You also shouldn’t drive while high though.
Plus the PSA is not for you. It’s for anybody who is reading you and could incorrectly assume that driving while high is okay. It isn’t.
It’s “use responsibly”, the phrase you are looking for. Definitions of “high” are poor. Tests for “high” are poor. If your are impaired, don’t drive. Like every other impairment.
If you are high you are impaired, and the feeling of being high might be hard to define, but it’s not difficult to recognize when you’re starting to feel it. What are you arguing against?
Sure, and you can also drink alcohol responsibly. But we’re not talking about responsible use of substances. If you are high, you’re impaired, just like you said, and that’s all I’m saying.
Tolerance doesn’t affect the impact of being high. It impacts how much THC you need to consume to feel a certain high. Comparing to alcohol, a woman with little tolerance coming in under 100lbs could be blitzed while a huge guy with decades of building up tolerance could be fine after drinking the same amount.
Driving while high is a problem.
Given that PA still has a zero tolerance policy in place I’m going to refer back to being treated like a second-class citizen, all while you wouldn’t be able to produce accurate statistics on the matter. Just your opinion.
People are not responsible, that’s what led to the situation in this article
I was talking about marijuana. That sort of recklessness isn’t there.
I’ve got no problem with weed or driving high responsibly. But your argument was that people can be trusted to act responsibly and I was refuting that.
Using this as a reason to be able to drive high is a weird take
That’s your only take? I never even mentioned driving while high. I did mention a lot of other hassles however. No take on them?
“This woman died while driving drunk. Meanwhile, I have to go through hurdles to smoke weed. See, I haven’t driven into any ponds!”
It’s a weird sentence overall, actually.
Weird, but not that weird. I’m being treated like a second-class citizen over marijuana. You’d even have to look high and low to find the dangers. Maybe this woman should have had to go through security doors everytime she bought alcohol, teach her how to behave, along with the countless other drunks that kill people on the road. Be glad it was just a pond this time. It’s not the stoners with bad attitudes fucking shit up.
You’re going through the best red-herring argument I’ve seen in a while. The topic is a woman was dead because of drunk driving, and here you are saying “but my pot!!!”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Angela Chao, a shipping industry CEO and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, was intoxicated when she drove into a pond and died last month in Texas, according to a law enforcement report released Wednesday.
The investigation by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office concluded that Chao’s death was an “unfortunate accident” and her blood alcohol level was nearly three times the state’s legal limit.
Chao, 50, died the night of Feb. 10 after having dinner with a large group at a ranch near Johnson City, west of Austin.
The report describes a frantic scene as friends and deputies tried to pull Chao from her Tesla after she backed it into the pond near a guest lodge on the property.
A toxicology test determined that Chao had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233 grams per 100 milliliters, above the legal limit in Texas of .08, the report says.
“Angela’s name in Chinese sounds like the characters for peace and prosperity,” her father, James S.C. Chao, said in a family statement shortly after her death.

elon musk breathing a sigh of relief as an alternative explanation appears. He’ll dispose of the large custom red button labeled “initiate Tesla kill Angela Chao protocol” in his next star link launch. He already crushed the sap who made it under a cybertruck.
