Attacks on scientific expertise have been increasing, especially in politics. Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is among the more prominent people who have done that.
According to that article, RFK suggested creating a place where people can clear their mind and free themselves from addictions and dependencies, through activities and exercise to improve health and clarity.
Doesn’t sound like a labor camp. Michelle Obama tried doing something similar but everyone ignored it anyway. I’m sure you know what I’m referring to, where she has several kids TV stations blacked out in order to coerce kids to go outside and exercise.
If RFK made that voluntary, it may seem beneficial. If he even goes through with it, because that article is from July 2024, when he was still a presidential candidate.
What he wants and what he can do are very different things. And no, the worse is Hegseth and that cannot be argued. The US health system needs to be burnt down to the ground, I do not think RFK will do that but I welcome anyone who will try.
Whatever replaces this shit show of a healthcare system is not going to be an improvement.
For that matter, what happens when the collapse takes place? Everyone suddenly gets free healthcare? Or does nobody get reliable healthcare until the new system is in place? I hate this fucking system but i fail to see how trump and his cronies will do anything but line their pockets playing favorites for the billionaires that own the industry, leaving us somehow even worse off
When the collapse happens the collapse happens. Millions will suffer but the slate will be clean for the next generation. That’s just how human history goes man, but it gets a little better every time we do this so theres’ progress!
JFC I don’t know which is dumber between unironically believing in accelerationism or stanning RFK. That is fundamentally not how the world works. What’s actually going to happen is that we’ll continue living in the shitty system we have now except with more diseases, less access to healthcare, and more quack medicine in its place.
it gets a little better every time we do this so theres’ progress!
Or…and stick with me here…we progress without burning everything to the ground. How the hell are we “progressing” if we repeat the same shit ad infinitum?
I think step one for that would be to “stop advocating that we burn everything to the ground”.
If a pilot openly admits wanting to crash a plane into the ground but safety systems would prevent him from doing it, I don’t want them anywhere near a cockpit.
He wants to take away my medicine and send me to a labor camp. He’s the least acceptable out of the entire clown show Trump nominated.
Sure he does. Proof?

You exaggerated quite a bit. Wow. Are you addicted to your “medicine”?
According to people like RFK, I am. And what’s with the scare quotes? It’s medicine, not “medicine”.

It would be insensitive to refer to a camp where people perform labor as a “labor camp”, right?
It says in the article that addicts and individuals can attend these “wellness farms” for free to grow their own food and exercise to get healthy.
