While We’re Spitballing, Here
By Mitch Berg
Minneapolis introduces the Narcan vending machine:
Or, as it will be known by August of 2024, “A looted, empty, vandalized and broken vending machine”.
But it does bring up some other ideas for vending machines in MInneapolis – machines selling:
- Band-aids for mugging victims
- New catalytic converters
- Copper wire
- Rubber shoe covers (so you don’t get vomit, or worse, on your shoes while riding the train)
Keep giving us set-ups, MInneapolis. We’ll give you the punch-lines.

That’s a whole new level of WTF!?!?, which is saying something when talking about Minneapolis’ Liberals doing something nonsensical. Do you have to do anything like scanning an ID to get a dose, or do you just push the buttons and it’ll dispense a box? If it’s just a bunch of button pushing you know somebody’s going to just start pushing buttons, and even if they leave everything to be restocked, if the firemen come out check on and possibly confront the button pusher, they’ll be called racist by the City Council and charged with violating the tweaker’s Civil Rights by Mary Moriarty.

I’ve considered carrying Narcan on the off chance that I would bump into someone who needed it, but chose not to because I have never come close to that as far as I know. It’s–$150?–a fair amount of money to spend on something you’ll never use.
But a vending machine? OK, so we are to assume that an addict will (a) have his credit card, (b) be able to get to the machine, and (c) be able to get the drug and use it in a stoned stupor? Maybe I’m missing something here, but it doesn’t seem as if they’ve thought things out very well. Lots of great things to do (SEAL THE BORDER!!!!) regarding fentanyl, but this does not appear to be one of them.

here let me fix that for ya Mayor
In Minneapolis, we’re using every tool possible to support opioid sales, use, and addiction.
talk about tacit encouragement, WTF indeed.

even money says this machine and any others they install will disappear after Nov 6th – gotta keep those vibrant DEI types alivve long enough to vote in 8 or 10 precincts … after the 6th there will be plenty of time to replace them
