If you hear someone argue that a 'common sense' approach is needed for treating addiction, give them this to read. The old approaches to dealing with substance dependence weren't common sense.

America Isn’t the Country You Think It Is | Karel Cast 25-121 America Isn’t the Country You Think It Is | Karel Cast 25-121 America loves to call itself the “greatest country in the world”—but the numbers tell a different story. Over 350 mass shootings this year, a wannabe tyrant in the Oval Office, and a Supreme Court that props up a far-right agenda. 70% of our infrastructure is outdated, we lack public transportation, and universal health care is still a dream—while we remain #1 for medical bankruptcies. The reality? 80% of Americans don’t have enough to retire. Care homes are broken, healthcare for aging is inadequate, and hatred—racism, homophobia, transphobia—runs rampant. Add to that endless wars and drug epidemics, and the myth of “American greatness” crumbles. So here’s the question: are we ignoring reality because the truth is too painful to face? 👉 Watch, share, and subscribe for fearless commentary on the real state of America. youtube.com/reallykarel #KarelCast, #AmericanReality, #MassShootings, #HealthcareCrisis, #RetirementCrisis, #USPolitics, #SupremeCourt, #MAGA, #AgingAmerica, #MedicalBankruptcy, #DrugCrisis, #Infrastructure, #IndependentMedia, #NewsAnalysis, #BreakingNews, #TruthToPower, #Racism, #Homophobia, #Transphobia, #AmericaInDecline https://youtube.com/live/C8mewyggG2o
