To… concentrate?
I prefer my labor camps freshly squeezed.
This dumbass thinks we’ll concentrate better in camps. Psssh. (This was a joke. I know it should be obvious but that’s no longer the world we live in.)
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?
Most Republicans think ADHD is caused by liberal parents who don’t beat their kids enough, they’re silent because they approve.
Well the article is 7 months old.

remember what trump said, repeatdly, " i dont care about you, i just want your votes",
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.
What do you mean? It’s free health care! Isn’t that what y’all asked for? /s
They need that slave labour, to replace all the migrant workers they kicked out. There’s “method to their madness”
They are doing dystopian novel bingo
Nobody wants to pay wages anymore 🤷♂️
Speaking as someone with ADHD: This would have been the most darkly humorous time to use the phrase “Concentration Camp”
Yeah, the fucking heavens had to align to create the single greatest opportunity for this pun. The news editor looked up at the choir of singing angels and quietly whispered “no” as they used the word “labor” instead.
I shared this with my wife, who takes Adderall, and your comment is going to finally pull her away from Reddit to Lemmy. Thank you for your service.
salutes Just doing my job sir.
Have you not seen the South Park about that?
No
Heads up this is from middle of last year.
Let’s hope he’s changed his mind since then. There’s a good chance. He seems like the type to spend a lot of time contemplating and reading.
You forgot your /s.
Can you imagine someone thinking I was serious? That would be terrifying.
Contemplating the teachings and health knowledge of Joe Rogan while reading Mein Kampf?
Please, no.
Look at this guy: https://youtube.com/shorts/AYdrU6H0qu4
Or he could just change his mind after snorting another line of coke. “And then once they get to my forced happy farm, they’ll all get a unicorn <rips line> and, wait for it man,… they pay me to be there…”
How about including Ketamine and starting with that one unelected illegal immigrant who abuses both? No? Figures.
Ketamine catching strays over here undeserved…
You take away my adderall, I’m not going to be working - I will be asleep (I have narcolepsy).
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.
Since it’s always projection, TIL RFK Jr. is on Adderall.
Oh that must be the American spelling of heroin.
Can’t be heroin because he’s awake and speaking. Adderall makes more sense.
(And FWIW you can’t even get real heroin anymore. These days it’s all fent.)
That worm should have finished the job.
Incidentally, if anyone is a screenwriter, I’d love to see a film where an alien parasite takes over the brain of a prominent politician and forces the population of a country to stop taking prescription meds so it can reproduce. I just don’t want to be in that movie.
There was a TV show, Braindead, in 2016 that was about an alien parasite in politicians heads.
Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Tony Shalhoub, thoroughly enjoyed it and sad it didn’t get renewed.
Might be worth a rewatch at this point

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.
Not only that, but “wellnes farms to grow organic food?” Gotta replace all those fieldhands we’re about to deport somehow.
Well there’s a horrifying thought.
Lol, you stick me in a labor camp, your just going to be generating extra work for people to clean up after me
You’re*
Your being pedantic
You’re*
Legalize psychedelics first like you promised, you fucking liar.
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.
It’s okay. When they take away your SSRIs and force you to farm organic food, they’ll keep telling you to smile more.
Hopefully, close to a supply of organic fertilizer. For uh health reasons.
Oops my diesel spilled
“Work will set you free”
Tomorrow is a rest day.
So… trump is going to camp as well?
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.
Easy, they’re the powerhouse of the cell.
emia meabs presence in blood
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!”
While the article is a little dated, it’s also a little misleading since he’s describing all brain altering drugs, such a opioids.
Still not great, but the devil’s advocate could still argue that mandatory rehab at a commune for drug abuse is quite reasonable (especially over prison). What’s problematic is him making it a labor camp, and including things like Adderall even if it doesn’t quite sound mandatory in their case. Adderall abuse certainly exists, as with most things, but it’s certainly no heroin.
Right now the status quo sucks, though, as far as drug rehab and government services are concerned. Since at least Reagan, we’ve gutted those services to those who need it. Just wish it wasn’t these assholes filling that void. Really need a progressive in office…
My yin, stop playing devil’s advocate for the fucking devil.
More like if we don’t get our basic facts straight we look just as disconnected as they are. This post is misleading and there is absolutely no need to exaggerate, RFKs idea is plenty stupid but now the article is just an easily dismissed propaganda piece because it eschews objective reality instead of just outlining the actual stupidity. Who is to trust anything in this article after the title is outright wrong? Like this entire article isn’t even worth anyone’s time, it’s just RFK spitballing to the media so they had to make up a bs title while there are real news articles likely getting ignored
Sorry maybe you don’t deserve to be on the end of my comment there but I’m so sick and tired of people trying to interpret clearly intentionally bad promises as charitably as possible and I let it out
I mean you’re right lol and I like the way you phrased it. Same here honestly, I was annoyed andI mostly wanted to make a tangential point about people getting worked up over vapid newsy-sounding articles while ignoring actual problems, this shit wasn’t worth reading when it was new and now it’s here, 6 months old and past the election it was written for, with tons of engagement

What do you think is more likely, Republicans, for the first time in existence do something to help people and put together a safe and comprehensive mental wellness program for people that need it that would cost billions? Or the party of the 13th amendment expanding it to include anyone they deem undesirable?
I think my point is they’re exploiting a real need in order to push whatever crap agenda they have. That’s true in healthcare, immigration, and “the price of eggs” (read: social inequality). Until those holes are fixed, there’ll be conmen to exploit our needs.
True. It’s like how they say they’re going to make us healthier while deregulating literally everything
You’ll have to forgive me if I’m not very generous with Nazis talking about labor camps and people with disabilities.
Since at least Reagan, we’ve gutted those services to those who need it. Just wish it wasn’t these assholes filling that void.
They’re not filling that void. Their broad antagonism towards all things healthcare and science makes that painfully clear. A vague idea about “wellness” on a “farm” that is really just forced labor is not healthcare reform, it’s a threat of violence.
