    Yeah all that is or already was in the chopping block and on it’s way to the chipper.

      Good. They don’t need narcan.

      They need a healthy diet, the power of God, and a $20,000-40,000/month rehab clinic.

      Hell, instead of sending kids to high school with our failing public education system, why don’t we send them straight to rehab? The debt they accrue will motivate them to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get a job at the factory

        I get it’s sarcasm, but yeah you don’t need narcan if you don’t do drugs. People told you drugs are bad for a reason, and we should be providing aid to the people already addicted and suffering, not to some kid fresh out of high school who thinks narcan is gonna make him invincible

        If anybody is thinking of downvoting the above comment, they’re being sarcastic to highlight the point.

          The fact that this needs to be pointed out makes me sad. I remember a time when it would have been obvious. There was a time when if someone said something over the top, and absurd, it was known to be sarcasm.

          Now we have a president who says things like “THEY’RE EATING THE CATS AND DOGS!!!” and a large, maybe even majority, percent of the population just nod and accept it as fact. Because despite being 100% false, it was said with the intention to be treated as fact.

          This is just one example, but this is how society is now. People just saying the dumbest shit, and others nodding along.

          So when a comment like that is posted, a lot of people WON’T get the sarcasm, because there ARE people who would legitimately say these things. So now it needs to be pointed out.

          We live in the dumbest timeline.
