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
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.
Good. They don’t need narcan.

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