There are a lot of things rightly called drugs that don't do what you discribe. Not all drugs are tombstone drugs.
Psychedelics do make you gullible and subject to tribe pressure, like a middle schooler. Someone on acid will believe _anything_ told them by someone they trust, if they keep it up, they internalize it and become part of the tribe (e.g. a noodle dancing, bullshit spewing deadhead). Tripping around the manipulative is dangerous, ask the CIA or the Manson family. They will also believe 'they're eyes are open' as that's part of the indoctrination.
Never outsource cleaning. Never leave it to the landlord.
'They' don't care if the cleaning staff steals. They expect it. Running a cleaning service is for bottom feeders. Ex cons and junkies as far as the eye can see.
Rolling office cleaning into the rent is a false economy. Smart office managers hire their own cleaners, have hallway cameras on all night, and pay enough to keep the good ones.
It's not pens/headphones, it laptops and data that you should be concerned about.
Hate to break it to you, but they _were_ collecting metadata on phone calls in the 1950s.
They started collecting phone metadata on index cards filled out by the operators that connected the calls. Granting that was only on people that were suspicious or knew a foreigner.
In the 80s, there was a 'geek circles rumor' that the NSA knew every phone number you had ever made a pattern of calling, they had used that to map all the people you knew. It was at the time the 'world's largest database'. Turns out it was a true rumor.
No matter how careful you are, the people you know tell who you are. e.g. I've _never_ been arrested, but the feds know I have no respect for laws, because of who I hang around with.
Do you know what an RC enthusiast pays for batteries/year. If I was a kid, I'd already be hooning a home made electric car powered by scooter batteries.
The classic answer to that is 'job security' == 'unpromotable'
But that assumes you aren't going to change companies, on your schedule, and 'fuck them'.
The truth is 'job security' == 'not promotable without an employer change'. But that's just true for many employers in any case. If that's your boss, there is no reason not to play 'knowledge is power', just don't be slow blatant about it the PHB can see it.
All you have to do to argue, is postulate strong AI doing the coding...in other words, assume the answer you want. 'AI' does not exist today, except in the marketing sense.
Knowledge workers need to navigate, today and for the foreseeable future, that means basic coding skills. If only so they understand how their queries work (or don't).
The problem is that both sets of textbooks play to and teach as fact, the common opinions in the regions.
It would work better if the states switched standards. So the average kids could 'spot the bullshit', not get their opinions reinforced by group thinking, conformity demanding teachers.
Sure, some kids will realize they are just being indoctrinated. But those kids would have been fine in anycase. What about the gullible ones?
IMHO every family should have an 'uncle full of shit'. To get the kids bullshit detectors going at a young age. Also it's great fun for him, gets to put the kids up to endless trouble. e.g. Teach the kids 'help help, I'm being repressed. Come and see the violence inherent in the system.' at age 4.
Just like all early childhood education, they need to be fed obvious bullshit. So they can learn to spot the not so obvious bullshit when older.
But that still won't get them to examine the things they want to believe.
As it is, only the minority opinion holders gain any 'critical thinking' skills. The rest think 'critical thinking' is how they got to their groupthink, as that's what their teachers told them.
It's just not possible for education to be neutral.
Depending on your political view. Look at either CA or TX textbook standards. You will be outraged in either case. Those are the two big ones, most other states just follow one of those two. They're about equally bad.

Tesla made that claim. It's a big fat lie.
Amend your claim to exclude coffee or I KEEL you.

Leaving whoopee cushions/plastic barf around the office discourages people bringing their crotch fruit into the office.

Noam Chomsky _is_ a denier of the Cambodian holocaust. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Everybody takes pens home. 'Honest people' take them back, when they've got a whole cup full.
How many disposable pens do you need anyhow? They're not worth 'stealing'.
Employers/clients can trust me with a million dollars...a hundred million+ and they would never see me again. In between is a grey area.

You're against Hillary running in 2020. Good thinking. We did dodge a bullet. Thank dog.
Unless she learns to shut her cry hole, Trump is two terms for sure. She is apparently incapable of learning, being so well indoctrinated..
'Clever code' shouldn't be blanket banned. It should be considered and if it's worth it, commented to hell and back.

No, it is impossible for 'everyone' to a have 'some basic coding skill'. We can't get below 75% innumerate college grads, despite best efforts.
But your basic point remains: Anybody doing any kind of technical job needs some basic coding skill.
The world still needs ditch diggers. Sucks to be them.
You're thinking of John Wayne Gacy, the crawl space guy.
That's like letting Dahmer teach a class on home meat cutting.
Punchline: I was going to open a Dahmer nose pizzaria.
Not all, just the ones that want common carrier protections from liability for content on their networks.
I'm fine with that being their private business decision.

Done and done. They are leaving them in Pakistan, for now. Politics.
