    Speaking as someone with ADHD: This would have been the most darkly humorous time to use the phrase “Concentration Camp”

    Not as big a deal, but he also wants to get rid of your WiFi and your cell phone:

    Departing momentarily from fake vaccine claims, the gang also had a long discussion about the purported dangers of wifi. Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine organization that Kennedy founded and is the chairman of, has long made a number of false claims about electromagnetic, wireless, and 5G technologies. Kennedy suggested that “wifi radiation” could be causing autism, food allergies, asthma, eczema, or other chronic illnesses, which Rogan, in a rare show of basic critical thinking, suggested was “unlikely.”

    “I think it degrades your mitochondria and it opens your blood-brain barrier,” Kennedy said, confidently.

    Rogan paused and then turned to his producer, Jamie, who often acts as the show’s researcher by Googling things. “Do you see anything online about that?” he asked. After a moment in Google, Rogan paused again.

    “Oh my God,” he said, finally, “we gotta get rid of wifi.”

    Too bad Joe Rogan is such an idiot. I would have asked RFK Jr. to define mitochondria. It would have made for amusing listening.

      I had to deal with so many of those people who insisted that their ‘wifi’ radiation is like an unshielded nuclear reactor. I would do my best to assauge their concerns… I was in customer service at the time.

      Now seeing someone like that in a very important position I find myself wondering if there is even a point to all this.

        I have a feeling that people are starting subconsciously understand cell-phone and social media additiction and its effect on the brains of developing children, but can’t quite conceptualize it. So they turn to “wifi is dangerous because… radiation!”

    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’d sooner eat a bag of McDonalds than do a single crazy thing he promised. What’s that? He already did the McD thing? As a show of fealty to our new king? Oh, my.

      Good idea, they should keep feeding you adderall at the labour camp, much more effective 😋

      Don’t worry, they’ll make sure to “protect” your loved ones if you keep working hard. Protect from what, you ask? Well, just keep working hard and you won’t need to worry about it.

    How about including Ketamine and starting with that one unelected illegal immigrant who abuses both? No? Figures.

    If the Trusk-era US economy is to run on prison labour, they will need technically skilled inmates. Between people with ADHD and people with depression and anxiety disorders, this should provide plenty.
