Universal Health and a host of related addictions… such as a nation that has pledged allegiance to whiteness, over health, wellness, truth, and justice for all.

To much profits in perpetual healing. To many legal poisonous compounds in our diet. Our illnesses are intentional. How can a government pay healthcare for people they allow to smoke?
