This is one of those things you see and instantly your mind jumps to an expose posted 5 years in about how it's actually cover for legal slavery, drug trafficking and human trafficking not to mention rampant SA and physical assault.
Slop.

My mom is one of those woo-woo left leaning hippies that loves RFK and all his slop content. She also freaks out about one of her uncles being mistreated in a state run psyche institution. I'll have to get her opinion on this take later tonight.
I've been in psych wards numerous times for my drinking and ymmv on how good they are honestly. It's for sure something that needs to be changed but it sure as shit won't happen under Trump.
This would have been back in the 50-60's when these institutions were getting a pretty bad rap for mistreating their patients. I don't think my great uncle was lobotomized or anything, but definitely some poor care.
Me: I'm sick of my desk job and want to do something physically active
monkeys paw curls one finger
great creep forward.
Me if they take my Vyvanse and my estrogen
OTOH, the only way to make agriculture environmentally sustainable and not physically backbreaking for the people who are still needed for manual labor is to increase the agricultural labor pool and move to an organic-ish production system (organic ag has brainworms and synthetic fertilizers aren't inherently the devil).
OTOH, I do not trust RFK Jr. with the responsibility of implementing it.
If I'm addicted to Adderall then how come I forget to take it so often?
wasn't this the background plot conflict of A Scanner Darkly ?
like the addiction treatment centers were using the conscripted laborers with amnesia from carceral programs to grow the illegal drugs that were flooding the streets and creating addicts with amnesia.
its not a 1 to 1, but it's got that ouroborus vibe of the prisoners forced into reproducing the prison thing.
I dig 60s acid head sci-fi, but I am not interested in living it.
AFAIK that was based on the real story of a cult masquerading as a narcotics treatment program and rehab system abusing and enslaving the people it was given by the state. I think Trueanon did a series on the guy behind it, because it ultimately evolved into the "troubled teen" industry and those fucked up torture/labor camps? I may be conflating two separate things here though.
Concentration camps aside, wouldn't they have to nationally decriminalize/legalize weed first in order to use taxes to fund shit like this?
The only people that should be sent to hard labour are people like RFK Jr
Another day, another reminder I need to get off my lazy ass and make my escape plan.
okay so they're going really eco fascist
You will pry my methylphenidate from my cold, jittery hands
I've been rawdogging [except 7 cups of coffee/day] ADHD, so I guess I'll skate by?
I am definitely going to contribute more to society when I am drinking 20-30 beers every Saturday off of ADHD meds so I don't have to return to monke
I forgot to take vyvanse recently and that was probably one of the worst days in recent memory
Any cop that tries dissapearing me is getting buckshot to the head
