@moke123: Democrats redefine words words for political advantage to obscure what they are really saying.

“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.” (George Orwell Quote).

The FactCheck article was published in February 2022 which makes it dated. Based on current news, the prior disclaimers would appear to be simply smoke to mislead the gullible and detract from the planned distribution of drug paraphernalia vending machines. Consider that it rakes a while to design and construct these vending machines. Where they denying the intent while actually issuing the contracts for these vending machines? See the more relevant June 2023 Post article below.

Just to toss in the consipricy angle, the subject of this thread:

De Blasio's wife can't account for $850m given to mental health scheme

ThriveNYC, the mental health scheme fronted by Chirlane McCray, was given a budget of $850m to improve mental health care in the city, but has failed to track what the money was spent on.

Did Ms. Blasio use that money to fund the vending machines?

Thank-you for your concern. I may check-in to a Kafka seminary to reflect on the absurdities of today's world.

Getting back to the purposeful misuse of words to mislead the public:

How will these vending machines actually combat rising heroin rates?
These machines will provide opportunities to reduce infection rates, but they would appear allow increased heroin usage. After all, if you provide something with minimal negative costs, people will use that product (heroin) more. Again the wording of these programs is designed to make the gullible members of the public (falsely) believe that something is being done to solve the problem, when all that is being done is to "mask" the problem so the public is less aware of the problem. Puts a (fake) smile on the politicians face for being able to demonstrate their (disingenuous) humanitarian concern to the public.

That's not what they are designed to do.

That's not what they are designed to do.

Yet that is how they are being publicly "sold" to the public by the (lying) media. We are being sold a dishonest message.
