RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

I could save them a lot of time and energy, here's all the solutions to things they're "studying".
- Highly processed foods and lack of varied diets.
- Extremely high healthcare costs that make treatment/cures unreachable.
- General distrust of medical professionals due to online guidance being actively harmful for most people.
- Long commutes and general shift to online/office work has lead to greater rates of inactivity.
- Lack of in person community leads to isolation and mental health issues.
- High costs of living, being told your neighbors are your enemies, disinformation in the news making it hard to be informed or knowledgeable, and constant threats to people's lives leading to mental health issues.
- People taking ivermectin like it's Elon musk doing ketamine.
Agreed on all of it but the WFH point. WFH has helped a ton of people. It's also a net benefit for the environment, human health, financial relief and mental health. Anyone telling you they work better in a office with a 2 hour daily commute in traffic is either middle management or C level. No one wants that shit.
I work out a lot more and eat healthier when I'm WFH. Doesn't come close.
I read the comment as saying return to the office was leading to sedentary behaviors - which I would believe. My commute is 45 minutes each way in ideal traffic - that's an additional hour and a half of just sitting for days I have to go into the office compared to my work from home days.
Ah, I was understanding it as it was causing people to be isolated vs being in the office.
WFH has helped a ton of people.
Could not agree more. Most especially if you have toxic management.
It's so much worse with those kind of people in-person. With remote work you can at least not bump into them in the bathroom/kitchen/hallway, etc., you don't have the time-and-morale-killing "pop-in", you can leave your camera off, turn off incoming video, skip non-essential meetings, etc...it really lowers the impact of having to work with someone you don't like very much and is part of management...
Yep couldn't agree more.
Work isn't great community, WFH + in person local activities is much better.
As long as those local activities are not related to work or co-workers.
This.
