The death rate for US children has surged by 25 percent over the past decade, according to a study published last month by pediatrician Dr. Christopher Forrest and colleagues in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Even as the child mortality rate has slowly fallen in other developed countries, it has surged in the US, along with every other indicator of chronic illness.
Buddy, the average American isn’t any more depraved as anyone else. The US just gives guns to people who shouldn’t have them and then provides them no training nor help with their problems.
Buddy, the US is quickly becoming a third world country. Yes, mass school shooting are normalized but that’s the symptom not the root problem.
See? You identified it yourself. Universal healthcare that includes quality mental health care that isn’t driven by profit is the solution to the listed problems, I’m not sure why they listed drugs and failed to recognize healthcare as the solution that too, but people turn to drugs to drown the depression they can’t treat in a healthy way.
Because pumping people full of Prozac instead of fentanyl (or whatever they turned to to cope) does fuck-all to solve them having to juggle three jobs while still barely being able to afford rent on their shitty apartment and being justifiably in despair about it.
The real problem isn’t a chemical imbalance if your life actually does suck!
That’s not mental healthcare… That’s just different drugs.
