Robert F. Kennedy Jr., independent challenger for president and anti-vaccine activist, now confirmed secretary of the dept of Health and Human Services (HHS), has a cockamamie solution for drug addicts and people who use medication for depression or ADHD: strip people of their tech gadgets and send them to government-funded "wellness farms" to grow organic food. | You know, kinda like labor camps. This kind of simplistic thinking of course ignores the millions of ‘coping’ folks who go to work daily, support themselves and often families, but depend on their meds for #Depression or #ADHD. So myopic. #PublicHeath #HHS #RFKjr #psychiatry #psychology #neurodivergent #quackery
@CharlieMcHenry granted, a less stressful and more (obviously) meaningful work environment might even help some people with their depression.
He's still batshit crazy and, of course lying. I mean "going there for free" sounds almost like free healthcare, nobody would ever do this in the USA. They would make you pay for going there and have you pay for the products of your work on top of that.
@lizzard @CharlieMcHenry
Is this how they fill all the farm labour jobs left empty by the deportation of a highly skilled but undocumented (and less legally protected) workforce?
They’ll find farm labor requires high skill, and high pay may be required to get the retention they want
Purging all your farm-workers and sending non-ag folks out into the fields doesn’t have a good track record starvation-wise
@AccordionBruce @CharlieMcHenry yeah, no, this is just a romantic idea of farm work, similar to "growing your own" in the garden. This has nothing to do with how actual farms work.
