    republicans are silent on this. groceries cheaper yet?

    defunding huge amount of government agencies. where is that money going? into the economy? or musk and trumps pockets?

    why do republicans support giving even more money to the wealthy at the detriment of the rest of the country?

    I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities

    Yes I too read A Scanner Darkly dipshit. I’m absolutely sure you can’t wait to send people to the New-Path farming commune so that you can profit off of their altered state in hopes that “one day” they’ll be able to rejoin society.

    What a fucking dipshit. They just all honest to god want modern slaves. Like good god, there’s no veil to it any longer, they just want free fucking labor.

          He’s known for his work as an anti pollution lawyer, helping poor communities get justice from big corporations. He’s also known for believing + spreading vaccine disinformation and various other already debunked conspiracy theories. Probably a good guy to know on a personal level because he cares about people, but still not someone that you want to have in charge of policy making because he’s a gullible tool.

              He’s been in the news cycle a lot lately for bonkers ideas. It’s genuinely concerning that he is in control of health policy and its almost a certainty that his bonkers ideas will cost many lives. This is the view of thousands of doctors that signed a petition in opposition to his appointment.

      They’ll threaten the people you love if you don’t comply.

      Look around at other places that do this kind of thing. You don’t think they’ve thought about that already? There’s a story floating around about a dude in a similar situation who didn’t meet the quota (or something), and they cut off his little kid’s hand as punishment.

        Exactly. Getting people to work when in involuntary servitude is a solved problem. You can research some of the history of what methods were used to get African slaves to work, especially in the early colonial Caribbean colonies, if you really want to lose faith in humanity.

        It was actually a quite difficult problem from the slaver’s perspective. You kidnap some guy from the coast of West Africa. You take him from his family, haul him across an ocean, and force him to work against his will on a sugar plantation on a Caribbean island. You offer him no way out and instruct him he’s to work as hard as he can until he keels over and dies. He gets nothing from his work, and he has no way to earn or buy his freedom. Oh, and he doesn’t think he did anything to deserve this treatment either.

        Exactly what motivation does this man have to work for you exactly? Early on, in these slave colonies, the slavers found that many abducted people would simply refuse to eat and starve themselves to death. The inescapability of their predicament meant that the slaves couldn’t even hold out hope for eventual rescue or escape. It would be like if you were abducted by aliens and hauled off to a planet in another galaxy. There’s simply no way you’re escaping and getting back home. So many slaves would simply refuse to work and just starve themselves to death.

        Eventually the slavers did figure out ways to coerce slaves into working. And those methods are as bad, and probably even worse, than you can imagine.

        Or get arrested and put into involuntary servitude, with threats of torture and other unimaginable things.

        Y’all wanna pretend that this isn’t that dangerous. The fact that they’re even floating this idea is terrifying.

          You already can be put into involuntary servitude if convicted.

          It’s strange to me that anyone would find this terrifying relative to the actual fucked up shit they’re doing and saying. Like, the fact that they’re banning medications people depend on is legitimately terrifying. The idea that they’re secretly plotting to force everyone into labor camps isn’t really, because it’s pure speculation based on nothing. There’s no need to focus on the speculative threat when the real threat is already so significant, if anything, it detracts from the severity of what’s actually happening.

            Both of those concepts are not mutually exclusive.

            My family is directly affected by RFK’s “ideas”. Not to make the prison labor a “lesser” issue; the issue is that they’re floating the idea of targeting people who depend on those meds at all, as if they’ve done something wrong.

              But the point is that they’re not doing that. They haven’t said anything about punative measures for those meds, that part is pure speculation.

              What isn’t speculation is that these rehab centers are being used as an alternative to justify banning medications. That’s bad enough without having to get into speculation.

                This is how the Holocaust actually got started. It’s much more sinister than people realize. They didn’t go straight to labor camps on day 1. They started “othering” groups they didn’t like, just by words. Until they started to justify banning and legislating them out of the public eye, to appease the now-fearful public. They started getting arrested for simply existing in the wrong places, and that’s when the labor camps started.

                That process started in 1933. And the people in charge are mirroring this dangerously close.

                I have a family to look after and ensure their future (what little of it may be left). If you don’t like what I have to say, then we are clearly on opposite sides of the fence, so do us both a favor and fucking block me.

                  What have they said that otherizes people taking SSRIs? I genuinely haven’t seen it, other than taking actions to ban the meds, which is exactly what I’ve been saying should be the focus, as opposed to baseless speculation about forced labor.

                  I understand that this is an important issue for you, but all I’m doing to correcting misinformation. The seriousness of the situation is all the more reason why accurate information is important. I have no idea why you think I’m “on the opposite side of the fence” just because I think we should focus on what’s actually happening and being said.

          JFK flipped on the mob (who claims they killed him, but they are known for saying stuff) he wanted to shut down the CIA and possibly the FBI, He was clearing out the nut parade in the joint cheifs who were seriously suggesting to a WWII war hero that maybe indiscriminately bombing the US as a pretext to war was a great idea! He was also making in roads with Russia behind the scenes, and he had signed the withdraw papers to end The Vietnam War by the time he was assassinate. I don’t know who killed him, but I can tell you it was a busy week for the large amount of people that would greatly benifit from his sudden demise.

          He started pushing for worker friendly regulations and enabling general strikes before he was assassinated.

          Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that granted federal employees the right to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act. Passage of the executive order forestalled the legislative Rhodes-Johnson Union Recognition bill, which would have given more power to federal employee unions, possibly creating a union shop arrangement. Executive Order 10988 was effectively replaced by President Richard Nixon’s Executive Order 11491 in 1969.

          MLK was also pushing for a general strike before he was assassinated.
